A lengthy video of comedian Nick Offerman has gone viral - despite nearly nothing happening in the 45 minute-long clip.
The YouTube video, called Nick Offerman's 'Yule Log', features the comedian from Parks and Recreation sitting by a fireplace.
He occasionally twitches, or takes a sip of whisky, but for the most part nearly nothing happens. He just stares into the camera, saying nothing.
That hasn't stopped it from going viral, with more than 700,000 YouTube views since it was posted on December 2.
Fans are raving about it.
"Who else feels this is too short??" wrote one obsessed viewer.
"This is the best 44 minutes of my life. I feel so relaxed," wrote another.
Slow television is a trend that appears to be taking off, with a Norwegian TV channel livestreaming a seven-hour train journey on the the Bergen Line.
In 2013, the same channel broadcast a 24-hour show about firewood that had 20 per cent of the population tuning in at some point.
