Why it worked
The video works because it presents a relatable and humorous scenario of dealing with a frugal friend, especially in a camping context where comfort items can be expensive. The physical comedy of the friend struggling with the rock adds to the entertainment, making it highly shareable and eliciting comments from viewers who relate to or know someone like the 'penny pincher.'
