Facing away from the hoop makes this considerably harder: The Smily Fam's players have to bounce their basketballs backward over their heads, all on the same musical beat.

The Short reached nearly 1.5 million views in 17 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience of tens of thousands for Shorts.

The setup is easy to follow until the balls leave the floor. Players in green and white Boston jerseys, yellow Lakers gear and a red Fever jersey squat together and send their shots toward the basket behind them. A ball catches the backboard and drops through. Then come dancing, pointing and the on-screen question: who won?

Colored hearts above the players give viewers a way to choose without knowing anyone's name. Red dominates the selected comments, though one viewer is still trying to work out whether red or yellow made the basket.

The basketball challenge isn't the channel's only fast starter: "Timer Tic Tac Toe! Boys vs Girls" and "Last Color Standing Wins!" also drew substantially larger early audiences than its usual Shorts.
