This is a YouTube video titled "How did this video get 121 MILLION views?" created in April 2024. The content is a monologue by Patrick King explaining the techniques used in a viral sandwich-making video, including ASMR sounds, visual patterns, speed ramping, and absurdity to engage viewers.
Foreign how did this creator get 121 million views? Making a sandwich? Well, I'm going to explain how incredibly easy it is. First is asmr, with the soft sounds of him cutting the bread and placing down each object. Now, if you pay attention and watch closely, you notice that he's creating a pattern as he's building out the sandwich. Each time he adds an ingredient, he'll go up, and then the next ingredient he'll go down, making the video more satisfying to watch. Thirdly, he's creating a speed ramp. Now, whenever he starts an action, it starts slow, but as it builds up to the next scene, it begins to speed up. This makes the video feel more dynamic and less repetitive. Lastly, he's using absurdity from ripping the bread to match the actual size of the sandwich. He's shocking viewers with the absurd nature of the video.
