Khaby’s famous facial expressions begin his response, as he silently uses his bare hands to peel the banana with less hassle. His expression and body language sell the video earning him 37,9 million likes.
Back to animals, I told you they’re magnets for views and likes. The camera angle gives us a different perspective of the adorable and fuzzy kitten popping its head and paws inside a tube, as we look up at it. No talent is required, just a camera set up to catch the cuteness of a kitten.
