Trevor Wallace relives the TOMS era, and viewers hear Vampire Weekend

His short about the canvas slip-ons of the late 2000s drew roughly six times the start of his usual short, and the comments filled up with Jaden Smith comparisons and talk of a collaboration.

how it felt wearing TOMS back in the day

Remember when a pair of canvas slip-ons came with a promise to change the world? Trevor Wallace does. His newest short is called "how it felt wearing TOMS back in the day," and it passed 350,000 views a little over a day after it went up. One of his shorts usually ends its first day nearer 50,000.

The subject fits the comedian well. He has long built sketches out of recognizable types, and the TOMS wearer is a very specific one: a shoe brand famous for its one-for-one pledge, giving away a pair for every pair sold, and a buyer who wanted everyone to know it. Viewers clearly recognize the type. The most liked comment compares the character to Jaden Smith, others call out Vampire Weekend, the indie band that soundtracked that same era, and some laugh that the title's "world" turns out to be only America.

The comments came in about three and a half times faster than on a usual first day. Several viewers say it is a collaboration with Content Machine, and a few greet a "new Trevor" they had not met before.

When we last wrote about him, older sketches were doing the work while new uploads lagged. That has changed: this one is running well ahead, a few days after "every airport traffic cop" also drew a crowd.
