As you can see, most of the presented pranks are way older and still have much less views than Sylwester Wardega got in less than a week. Why? It's mostly because of the new and very funny idea.

Sylwester Wardega has been a youtuber since 2012. What is the driving force behind his success? He just has what it takes. Everybody can see this in his earlier productions e.g. Hobbit and Spiderman. - said Barbara Soltysinska, co-founder of LifeTube, the largest MCN in Poland. - The source of success? Funny and well-prepared content based on fright and surprise that made people laugh. Thanks to that he makes millions of people laugh.

The second thing, the most important is media. "Mutant Giant Spider Dog" was shown on TV, the biggest websites wrote about it and also social media are full of comments on the video. Ellen DeGeneres, one of the most popular American TV personalities, shared it her show's fanpage. Guy Kawasaki, marketing guru, wrote on Twitter that this is the best prank he has ever seen. The biggest newspapers, such as British Dailly Mail or even TIME, wrote articles about it. Every leading website on the Polish Internet had an article about Sylwester or invited him for an interview. This is amazing how a YouTube viral effect works in just few days. It shows how powerful the Internet is.

LifeTube, the largest multi-channel network (MCN) in Poland. The LifeTube network generates more than 160 million video views and reaches almost 1 million subscribers monthly. LifeTube cooperates with brands and has so far run more than 100 marketing campaigns.
