Who can escape before getting crushed!
Getting out of the way is the whole assignment in "Who can escape before getting crushed!", Drew Dirksen's biggest new upload of the week. It has passed 1.3 million views, with the comments turning into a small debate about escape strategy: why not simply run sideways?
Viewers are also comparing starting times and picking out particularly fast runs. The abrupt cutoff has become part of the joke, too, with one commenter treating the end of the video as a conveniently timed rescue. That is an editing joke, not evidence of what happened afterward.
The rest of Drew's four-upload week offered rather different games. "I Tested the Weirdest Gaming Locations!" explored the premise of playing somewhere unusual, while "Couch Tic Tac Toe!" brought a familiar game into the furniture. The newest addition, "Sneaking up on my wife like an assassin", supplied a household-comedy detour.
Drew added about 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily channel views are currently well below their usual pace. Among nearby challenge channels, Brotherofcolor and Hangtime had particularly busy viewing weeks; devinsupertramp was quieter.
The escape upload is Drew's busiest video right now, but the waterslide hasn't retired. "Taking random things down my waterslide!", posted more than a month ago, continues to draw substantial daily viewing. His playground-testing adventure is another active draw, keeping unusual places and improvised play firmly on the channel's agenda.
