This creator normally gets 11M views. This one got 25M. That gap — not the raw number — is what makes the format worth copying.
The video starts with a quick montage of people performing parkour and then cuts to a man in a Michael Jordan jersey standing on a stool, arranging items on a shelf. He then jumps off the stool and performs a series of exaggerated, cartoonish movements, as if he's been startled or is reacting to something unseen, before looking around in confusion.

Why it worked
The video works because it uses a popular trending audio to create a comedic skit. The sudden shift from intense parkour to a mundane task, followed by an exaggerated reaction, creates a humorous and unexpected contrast. The use of a recognizable Michael Jordan jersey adds to the character's persona and relatability.
