The funny video thread

[RblDiver]

All the youtube links in blue that everyone posts won't work from my Samsung S6. When I use the copy link on my share options the videos post up the way they do. Not a techie at all. [HELP]

Speaking as general terms, not entirely sure if this is what is going on with your device specifically.

The problem is that when you grab links, Youtube tries to be helpful and gives you the short version (more Twitter friendly and the like), so the youtu.be like ones. To get them to display here, you have to post the full link (usually by opening that short link you have on Youtube, then grabbing the full URL).

So, in this case, rather than posting the link you did, you'd attach:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RY4R3_O7RE

Or paste it into the video attachment box:

That's odd both show exactly the same.
These are the only options I get with my phone.

Is this embed working for anyone? I'm just getting a black square.

Embed did not work. It's a pic of the preview screen and it links to YouTube.

Pretty damn funny though.

Not sure what you did, but my link seems to work for me.

When I quoted your post, the VB tags showed YOUTUBE instead of video=

Doesn't play in the window, but I can see it. When you click, it takes you to YouTube, which works for me.

Yeah, I always use [youtube]. Just a habit from another forum I used to frequent.

Now it seems to be working for me. weird.

that was hilarious!!! Obviously over-dubbed, but likely far more exciting, and funny than the real thing. It's worth a watch.
