Why it worked

The video likely worked due to its dark humor and unexpected twist on a common wish. The punchline is absurd and memorable, playing on the literal interpretation of 'smartest person on Earth' in a morbidly funny way.

Summary

The creator humorously grants a viewer's wish to be the smartest person on Earth by stating that everyone else has died. This implies that being the smartest is only possible in a world devoid of other intelligent beings.
