Video Game Forums

Man I love occasionally having to wait around 30 seconds to watch a random video. I dunno why they sometimes let you skip the fun after 5 seconds, because 30 seconds of an ad makes my heart soar. I guess there are sick, twisted people out there who can't even stand 5 seconds.

I see someone's trying out their sarcasm generator.

My favorite part is when the ad is literally 20x louder than the video you want to watch--or, as a matter of fact, than any video ever made.

Ad companies really need to learn that they should not do this crap on a computer. Because we're much more likely to be watching a computer with headphones on. When you blast us with an ad so loud we can hear it from Russia, it goes right into our ears. We're not even listening to the ad - because the blaring volume has caused us to go deaf.

Actually, the sound that makes you go deaf will repeat endlessly until you die, since it's the last sound that you will ever hear. It's the perfect way to get your brand out there and increase its Q rating.

This is the hell of goin along with the cool crowd. "Haha, dis chump likes EMT an smahsh an AVidGiN an roostahteef---less makem wash a avertisemink befor de vidja playmahurrhurr." Wouldn't have it to contend with if only I were a cool iconoclastic rebel who watched things no one likes.

Actually, I like to watch the ads sometimes. I have to say "Chernobyl Diaries" was a lot more awesome when it seemed like a documentary.

I just wish the videos would buffer while we're watching the ads.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Oh you mean those things I don't have to deal with.

I get ads for sports shows that I don't watch. >.> Can't you at least tell me about Heirloom seeds or something I like, ACTUALLY would be interested in?

I wouldn't have such a problem with ads if I didn't have to watch the same one like, eighteen times in a row...

It doesn't seem like you've fed Google enough private info yet! Send Sergei Brin a few emails, he'll be happy to help.

I seldom watch anything on YouTube that isn't related to video game music in some way. No one ever bothers advertising on video game music.

Man. You know, if it were just ads for stores and crap, I could almost stomach it. But no---since I live in Wisconsinlington, about three quarters of the ads are attack ads from one side or the other in the dingdong Walker recall election fiasco. Please, God, send me Home Depot ads---I've sunk to this.

I should complain about Google taking my private data and saying how it's a violation of privacy.

...while tweeting about how I'm taking a dump and posting my drunk pictures on FaceBook.

Anyone else have to wait for the ad before the video to buffer?

^Yes, everyone does. Hence...

Worst is when a video starts and plays for a second, and then an ad starts up. It's like, "woohoo, no ad this ti----oh, you dirty badgers."
