There is another video, that I can't find right now, where YouTube has paused the views in the <100s. It's part of the joke or title but I always thought that was neat too. Not sure if it was just cosmetic or they did something in the backend.
You probably think of Numberphile explanation of why YouTube videos (used to) stay at 301 views for a while - leading to lots of confusion when the site showed 301 views with 5728 comments and 37592 likes.
