This one got 7.5M. That gap — not the raw number — is what makes the format worth copying.
A split-screen video shows a footballer struggling to speak during a post-match interview, while three pundits in a studio panel react with laughter and amusement. The footballer explains he's been singing and can't talk, and the pundits comment on the 'madness' of the situation.
