Why it worked
The video works because of its absurd and unexpected visual gag of the long, noodle-like arms in a common setting like a basketball game. This creates instant humor and curiosity, making viewers want to see how the 'long arms' affect the game. The sound effects and reactions from the other players enhance the comedic timing and make the impossible plays seem even funnier, leading to high shareability.
