What happened in the freestyle

The clip passed 50 million views and filled up with comments, duets and remixes.
Why it went viral
- It's spontaneous: nobody planned it, and it shows.
- It's instantly recognisable: the red light, the speaker and the crowd make a scene you can place in a second.
- It's easy to remake: the format invites you to step into his place.

The funniest way to join in, though, is to put yourself in — or a friend who's up for it.
