The clip quickly amassed over eight million views, countless spinoffs, and the pair made national headlines on print & TV. Vid was uploaded in May 2008.

The video has been accused of being a planted ad campaign for Nintendo, particularly as it was uploaded under an account called “tinsleyadvertising”. The couple deny the claim and no evidence of an actual connection to Nintendo has surfaced.
