How the Hell Did This Holiday Inn Express Video Get 1.8 Million Views?

Either I’m stupid (entirely possible) or this is the biggest non-sequitor of all time. It’s entirely unclear how this Holiday Inn Express video achieved 1.8 million views since July 21. A group of astronauts are about to take off in the space shuttle. The Mission Control guy says, “Astronauts, August 14 will be the biggest day to remember.” An astronaut responds, “August 14? That’s my anniversary. I gotta go.” Another voice then says, “Uh, Houston, did anyone stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?”

Clearly there is a joke in there somewhere but it’s gone way over my head. Yea, I get that it has something to do with the fact the astronaut forgot his anniversary and should probably be with his wife rather than heading to space but I still don’t get it. Please explain.
