Basic Trope: An internet video viralizes in a short amount of time.
- Straight:
- Exaggerated:
- In one second, the video was seen by every being on the Earth.
- There are 20 trillion views, around two and a half times the world's population.
- Downplayed: Alice's TouYobe channel has few subscribers, but the video still got 50 views the next day.
- Justified:
- Alice is a famous TouYober, so it should be expected that many people see it.
- Bob is a celebrity himself.
- In another planet, there is an organization of aliens that like to see humans' embarrassing videos, and there are lots of them.
- The view counter was broken.
- Alice actually used Inspect Element when she showed it to Bob. It wasn't actually watched by anyone but her.
- The video was posted on multiple websites.
- Inverted: Alice somehow manage to gets a negative number of views.
- Subverted:
- The counter updates really fast, but stops on 10.
- Alice uploads a video, and only gets tens of thousands of views in the first week, then only a trickle of views weeks after that.
- Double Subverted:
- Then it resumes updating and gets 20 million views.
- The algorithm picks it up the next year, and Alice's video suddenly has millions of views.
- Parodied:
- The second the video is uploaded on TouYobe, the view and like counter jump off the screen and flood the entire planet.
- The comments section for the video is filled with confusion over why this video went viral.
- Zig Zagged: The counter, for whatever reason, keeps decreasing and increasing.
- Averted: The video goes viral in a realistic amount of time, or doesn't go viral at all.
- Enforced: "We need Bob to become even more embarrassed by this. Maybe we should make the views increase extremely fast, that'll be funny."
- Lampshaded: "How is that even possible? There are more views than there are people on Earth".
- Invoked: Someone finds out Alice's TouYobe channel, spreads the word about it, and it becomes famous. When she uploads Bob's video, all these people watch it.
- Exploited: Alice enjoys the situation to easily become a famous TouYober, after the hit of her previous video.
- Defied: Tou Yobe forbids people to upload videos that humiliate others, so the video is taken down before it is published.
- Discussed: "Quick, everyone! Alice uploaded a video of Bob failing on doing a flip!"
- Conversed: "Wow, that video spread really fast. How is that even possible?"
- Implied: Bob found out the video the other day and says many people saw it.
- Deconstructed: Bob really hurt himself after he fell and was hospitalized, and still, millions of people laugh at his situation.
- Reconstructed: Alice apologizes to Bob and gets the video off air.
- Played For Drama: Alice is forcing everyone on the planet to watch the video.
I accidentally published something embarrassing in the unabridged version, and before I removed it, 20 million people had already seen it!
