What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA YouTube short claims to show the Napoleon Dynamite scene that made Efren Ramirez, who played Pedro, laugh the hardest.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's from Movies Explained Shorts, it's number two on YouTube's U. S. comedy trending chart, and it has over six and a half million views.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRamirez has said his funniest on-set moment involved a steak scene. That's what a podcast clip says.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLook at the title. It says laughed the hardest. Doesn't say funniest. That's how you survive the comments section.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the channel picked a scene, and the actor picked a steak.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTurning point is the title. Final score, nine out of ten. The channel wins the clicks, and the steak never gets a rematch.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'll watch it if the steak gets a rematch. Fine, I'll watch it. Nobody asked the steak.
