Stiff Socks takes the muffin route to Papa John

An Italian-food clue sends the guessing game through pasta, bread and cannoli before anyone gets to pizza.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 729,632 views a day, 6.3 times a normal first day on this channel (116,226).

The picture on his forehead is Papa John. Somehow, the food coming out of the contestant's mouth is muffins.

That detour is the heart of "Guessing Papa John," a Stiff Socks Short that drew nearly 396,000 views in its first nine hours, a much faster start than usual for the channel's short uploads.

The setup leaves everyone else with an advantage: players wear headbands displaying public figures they cannot see. In this round, the neighboring cards show Joe Jonas and Judge Judy, while the contestant with the pizza-chain founder works through possible careers. Even "jobs" briefly sends him toward Steve Jobs rather than occupations.

Then comes a seemingly helpful question: what are Italian people famous for? Pasta follows, then bread, cannoli and the unexpected bakery diversion. Another player echoes back, "Muffins?"

The comments keep returning to that missed turn, with viewers marveling at how long pizza took to enter the conversation. Others question the decision to rule out television, given Papa John's appearances in commercials.

The Short accompanies "Guess the Person with Matteo Lane," adding another guest round to the channel's established headband game, whose previous participants include Wiz Khalifa and Sara Saffari.

  • "You said MUFFINS" got me rolling.
  • I'd argue that he WAS famous from TV.

    We only recognize him because of his tv commercials
