Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

My Ex's Family Loves Me

"My Ex's Family Loves Me" is a short on Matteo Lane's channel about a breakup with a twist: the ex's relatives are firmly on his side. Josh sits beside him, and the comments are mostly about Josh. Viewers keep repeating his line about families who love a son "in the of course way," and many single out one very wicked "yes," a side of him they say they rarely see. Others share their own stories of families who quietly adopted the ex after a cheating son. Posted on Tuesday, it is close to a million views.

"Evicting Your Cousin" followed a day later and has passed 400,000, while the newest short, "Would Nick Survive A Bear Attack?", is gathering views faster than anything else he has up, just fifteen hours in. Nick is Nick Smith, the co-host Matteo calls his arch nemesis on their podcast, I Never Liked You.

The longer formats brought famous company. Sal Vulcano, of Impractical Jokers, joined the Advice Special series, and episode 140 of the podcast welcomed Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who talks about his favorite Modern Family moment, his early break in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and having Adele over for dinner.

All of it added up to a channel drawing nearly twice its usual daily views. Among the stand-up comedians around his size, only Gianmarco Soresi and Laugh Society gained more views over the week, while Ali Siddiq and Taylor Tomlinson are also running well above their usual pace.

What viewers say

"They love him in the 'of course' way" is just SO accurate. Every family has one. Maybe extended, but somewhere.
