Video taking off 13x its usual first day

EthanThe Artist wouldn't trust himself to catch this pass

His Stupid King reaction turns a supposed football broadcast into a joke about distraction, while viewers question whether the footage is real.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 750,732 views a day, 13 times a normal first day on this channel (57,272).

The drive-thru headset stays on, but EthanThe Artist's attention is in the football stands. In his latest fast-starting Stupid King sketch, a crowd clip leaves him wondering how it could have made it onto television.

The Short drew an estimated 750,000 views in its first day, roughly thirteen times his usual Shorts start. Another Stupid King upload drew almost as large an opening audience, with two more also starting well above the channel's norm.

Episode 7922 opens with a woman tying her hair while wearing a Miami Hurricanes jersey. The clip, presented inside an Instagram screen recording, carries a Miami-Texas Tech score overlay. Ethan cuts in wearing a fast-food-style uniform and looking astonished. This is a comedy reaction sketch, not his own report from a game.

"This has to be AI," he says. Viewers pick up that question: several scrutinize the apparent broadcast, including whether an announcer would say what they hear. Others invoke the teams' past meetings, though their accounts conflict. Those comments don't establish whether the clip is genuine.

Ethan takes the premise somewhere less investigative: "If I'm one of them wide receivers, don't throw me the ball. I ain't catching it."
