ISMO's audience nominates him for after-sex viewing
A crowd-work question turns into a flattering recommendation, then a Finnish-American disagreement over cuddling.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 42,705 views a day, 5.7 times a normal first day on this channel (7,538).
ISMO | Best Time to Watch Ismo
ISMO asks the crowd what they like to do after sex. Someone suggests chilling. Then another voice offers a more specific activity: watching ISMO.
"Watching ISMO?!" he repeats, taking a moment to absorb the compliment. A cigarette gets a mention too, but the comedian has understandably warmed to the option involving his own videos.
The exchange appears in "ISMO | Best Time to Watch Ismo," which drew roughly 25,000 views in its first ten hours. Its estimated first-day pace is nearly six times the usual start for his Shorts.
For the Finnish comedian, whose material often turns on the peculiarities of English, this time the audience supplies the phrase worth picking apart. He finds a personal complication in the recommendation: watching himself isn't quite the same proposition.
Calls of "Sleep" and "Cuddle" eventually send the routine toward familiar territory, the cultural distance between Finland and America. In ISMO's telling, Americans want an embrace; Finns would rather put on his comedy.

The numbers
The Short is drawing a much faster start than ISMO's usual uploads of the same format. Its first-day total is still an estimate.
