Why it worked
The video likely worked by using a popular animated character (Po) and creating a humorous juxtaposition with another fast-moving character (Dash) to create a relatable or surprising comparison, tapping into meme culture and audience familiarity with both franchises.
Summary
The video shows clips of the animated character Po from Kung Fu Panda in various states of repose and action, juxtaposed with a clip of Dash from The Incredibles running at high speed. The on-screen text "same panda btw:" suggests a humorous comparison between the characters' perceived speed or energy levels.
