What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe cat's got a clean record and no comment. Meanwhile, this one pulled eleven million views off a title that's basically a card game.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA YouTube video by Nick Wilkins called Uno reverse trick-or-treating is number one on the U. S. trending chart in comedy, with eleven million forty-four thousand five hundred sixty-nine views.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLook at the title card. Circle it. Uno reverse, trick-or-treating, all in one frame. Clean.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe idea is that the person in the costume answers the door and hands out treats while the children respond. Reverse trick-or-treating, in other words.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA radio host in Movin 92. 5's segment tried it, and the segment's own description gave it a zero percent success rate. That's the turning point of the season.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorZero percent on a porch, and eleven million online. I'd call that a policy that polls better abroad.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFinal score: eleven million forty-four thousand five hundred sixty-nine to zero. The host, for the record, is still out there, candy bowl in hand, waiting for someone to ring.
