A young man, labeled "redbullaholic" by on-screen text, pours Red Bull from a can into a small glass, drinks it, and then discards the empty can onto a pile of many other empty cans, only to grab another full can and repeat the process.

Why it worked
The video works due to its relatable humor for anyone who consumes energy drinks or has a similar "addiction." The visual exaggeration of the Red Bull can pyramid emphasizes the "addiction" in a comedic way, making it shareable. The trending audio adds to its appeal, and the simple, repetitive action is easy to understand and engage with.
