Why it worked
The video works by creating a humorous contrast between the 'easy' viral transformation video and the reality of hard work. The relatable skepticism and subtle humor of the workers' reactions resonate with viewers, especially those who appreciate behind-the-scenes content or blue-collar humor. The use of a popular sound adds to its shareability.
