Why it worked
The video likely worked because it tapped into a shared, nostalgic internet memory or meme, presenting a humorous and relatable misunderstanding about a niche subculture figure. The comedic reveal and the creator's expressive reaction add to its shareability.
Summary
The creator humorously reflects on a past misconception about a "carpet sample furry guy," initially believing the costume was made of carpet samples. They then reveal the suit was actually made of stuffed animals, which they find slightly odd but not terrible, and suggest this is why the suit reportedly smelled bad.

but no, his suit was made of stuffed animals
and you might think to yourself "oh,

he had a 'thing' for stuffed animals..
and that's why people say his suit smelled so bad....
