Trevor Wallace's Sweden clues lead him to Danville, California
A Swedish flag, a Forrest Gump reference and some unhelpful geography turn his latest country quiz into a detour.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 925,284 views a day, 8.7 times a normal first day on this channel (106,097).
guessing Sweden…
Oklahoma is his guess. Trevor Wallace has a Swedish flag on his headband, but identifying the country is proving harder than the setup suggests.
In "guessing Sweden…", questions about safety and drinking first send the conversation toward Ireland. Being told it is another country doesn't narrow things down much. Eventually, a Forrest Gump reference supplies the name Dan, which Wallace turns into Danville, California. The clues then take a psychological turn, with a famous syndrome offering another route to the answer.
The Short drew more than 660,000 views in 13 hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. Its comment section was more than ten times as busy as a typical first day, too.
Viewers are picking apart the clues rather than simply playing along. Several challenge the characterization of Swedish drinking culture; others linger on Wallace's elaborate pronunciation of Sweden or the spectacularly broad hint that it is another country.
Following his Germany and United Kingdom guessing videos, this is another geography game that doubles as promotion for his European stand-up dates. Here, though, the memorable stop along the way is a California town.
