What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's just past the hour, this is #Trending, and a YouTube Short called "just use binoculars" just passed twenty-three million views, which is more people than have ever agreed on anything on this network.

  2. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentIt's by a channel called senyrz, and the description says it's a deleted scene from the twenty-ten comedy Grown Ups.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentExcept the description also says the scene is fictional. That is the most honest sentence anyone has ever attached to a Grown Ups.

  4. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentSo it's a fake leak, labeled fake, and it's number six on the U. S. trending chart for comedy.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe tags say memes, fyp and viral. Nobody lied. They just asked for it directly.

  6. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentKenji, I need to verify the binoculars. Which ones? What range? I'm requesting field access.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRating, nine out of ten. Hashtag binoculars.

  8. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentTwenty-three million people watched a scene that was never filmed. It's the biggest audience that movie ever had.
