Mamma Chewbacca: the most viewed Facebook video

You may not know that the most viewed video in the world on YouTube is “Gangnam Style,” the hit by Psy that made all of us go crazy with its contagious dance. The video that reached a billion views in the shortest amount of time is “Hello” by Adele. But what is the video that has reached the highest number of views on Facebook?

I saw it just a few days ago, and yes, I laughed. It’s impossible not to. And that’s exactly why it went viral. What video am I talking about? The one with Candace Payne, a Texas mom who, on the 39th anniversary of the release of the first Star Wars, did a live video in her car wearing a Chewbacca mask.

“Be patient, be patient, it will be worth it… or maybe not!”,

She says in clear English before putting on the mask: “Be patient, be patient, it will be worth it… or maybe not!”

Why is it so funny? The mask has special effects; every time she opens her mouth, it makes the original Chewbacca sound!

Her laughter, while the mask makes the noises, was so contagious that it went viral; the live video garnered almost 150 million views, reaching even famous personalities like Jessica Alba, and becoming the most-watched live video ever on Facebook.

What did Mark Zuckerberg decide to do? He invited the 37-year-old mom, now known worldwide as “Mom Chewbacca,” to Menlo Park, with the promise of a surprise for her.

When she arrived at the Social Network’s headquarters, waiting for her was the character from Star Wars in “the flesh,” ready to spend the day with her!
