According to Newsweek, the clip, just posted on Monday, has already racked up 75 million-plus views, 8.5 million likes, and over 109,000 shares.
The viewer comments were numerous and varied -- boy, some people are real grumps, complaining about having to, heaven forbid, stop for a minute. But the vast majority were of the fun “OMG” variety.

Joslyn stated: "The world revolved around them for sure. They are the main characters."
