A while back YouTube started aggressively countering ad-blockers, to the extent that if you had an ad-blocker installed you'd still see the ads but they'd be unskippable, as opposed to skippable ads with no ad-blocker. I gave up a while back and whitelisted YouTube, since most of the channels I watch regularly don't have ads anyway and where I did see them I kept getting really long unskippable ads, often longer than the video I wanted to watch. I'm guessing since then there's been an arms race between YouTube and Adblock, and YouTube have got the upper hand for the moment.

Someone's collected together a bunch of racist / sexist / generally appalling US adverts from the 50s, 60s and 70s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=188&v=66mQz44pPY4 - which is worth checking out for the ad where Fred Flintstone sings about the joys of Winston Cigarettes, and one for a deodorant where a secretary hopes that by wearing it her boss will fuck her.

Ethan and Hila won the lawsuit against them, turns out to be a landmark ruling regarding Fair Use on youtube. Good outcome, really.

I don't see any ads on my laptop (using uBlock Origin)

I just discovered there's a 'thing' on youtube called "Every ... Music Video but it's just the song titles".
Get in grave, along with "Every time (someone) says (something) the video gets faster."

This is one of the only videos I've seen where the description is fucking awful but the comments are actually mostly sensible for a change.

Searching for sound effects for my show, found this one for "thud": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6pLIbCqu1I

I'm not sure why it's so funny to me.

The video's a bit loopy but I'm fond of the caption.

Thanks for this, truly amazing singing there. Watching this led me to another classic clip:

I've just come across a pretty amazing youtube channel by game creator extraordinaire, Jon Burton.
He worked on Sonic 3D, Toy Story, Mickey Mania for the MegaDrive/Genesis, and later Sonic R, Crash Bandicoot to name a few.
His channel showcases notable features of these games that he helped to create, some of which in retrospect are incredibly impressive.

That's funny, I watched a few of his videos a a couple of weeks ago (probably around the same time you posted...) too. The Toy Story stuff gives a really good insight into the tricks used in game development to be able to push hardware to its limits.

I knew about the sheer number of Russian and German deaths on the Eastern Front but this just makes your jaw drop.

Thanks for that find. That was incredible.

I keep getting loads of these "pedo-hunter" videos in my "suggested" bit - can't seem to shake them (the videos, not the pedohunters) - despite marking them all as not interested - anyone else plagued by nonce shaming vids on their YouTube account?

I'm impressed they remembered about the atrocities of the Raj. Thought that little slice of European history had been expunged by now in favour of "Commies did it".

I've been searching out a lot of old cine footage from the 1970s and back - there's plenty on youtube. A lot of it is film of local public events, but there's also private footage of family gatherings, Christmases etc, some of it found by collectors where the families' identities are unknown, which often adds a note of strange poignancy. The quaint, grainy nature of cine obviously enhances that.

Any road, this one's a public event, a primary school fete in 1978[nb]weird to think the Pistols had broken up by then, yet the footage looks redolent of the 1950s or even earlier[/nb] opened by Leonard Rossiter. We see him giving a speech at around 2:00, and then a few shots of him mingling with the crowds at 4:00 - the odd thing is, there doesn't seem to be any media presence there for him at all, even though this was right in the middle of Rising Damp and Perrin.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JozfH7fV8E  Hardly any views, but I thought some of you might be interested.

I like this one, innocuous family footage of a 1970s wedding in Leicester, until out of the blue at 2m 15s, a vandalised proto-Partridge car!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsDUxTHBTxk (Freeze-framing recommended.)

Ha, that's excellent, the severity of it came completely out of the blue.

I love the 'Breast' (singular) and '69'. Oh how we live in different times.

Not quite YouTube, but too good not to share. In 2010, Cadbury's commissioned Jonathan Glazer (of Under The Skin, Sexy Beast, the Guinness surfer and countless music videos fame) to create an advert for Flake. This was the wholly-demented result:

Unsurprisingly, the famously-Quaker family-owned chocolatier decided not to run the commercial and proceeded to drop Saatchi's as their advertising account.

Incredible. Should've sent that to a aftershave company, they'd have lapped that up.
