Why it worked
The video works due to its comedic timing, relatable sibling dynamic, and the unexpected twist of the brother's reaction to having the nails removed. It leverages humor and a 'before and after' style narrative, even though the 'after' is the removal. The use of a male subject for a traditionally feminine beauty treatment also adds to its novelty and shareability.
