Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

The Best of Very Important People Guests Not Knowing How To Drink Water

Tommy has a large mug and very small prosthetic hands. Princess Emily thinks the water tastes salty. Vic Michaelis tries to give a stone creature a drink. On Very Important People, even offering refreshments can become an improv assignment.

There were no new uploads this week, but "The Best of Very Important People Guests Not Knowing How To Drink Water" remains the busiest of the channel's active older videos. Having approached a million views when we last covered it, the compilation has now reached roughly 1.2 million.

The joke fits the show's premise particularly well: comedians undergo elaborate makeovers, then invent someone new for a fully improvised interview with Michaelis. A mug becomes another thing the performer has to negotiate in character. Tommy's tiny hands make the ordinary mechanics difficult; the caveman simply blows bubbles. Michaelis supplies the wonderfully practical correction: "You're blowing bubbles. I don't think you're drinking any."

"You Took Out Your Entire Platoon?" and "Every Cast Intro From Very Important People Season 1" are also bringing in views, keeping both individual exchanges and the show's parade of invented personalities in circulation.

The channel collected about 654,000 views over the week, while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is below its usual level. Nearby in subscriber size, The Jonathan Ross Show is having a busier-than-usual viewing day, but Very Important People's upload-free week belongs to its archive, where a glass of water remains more than enough material.
