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.
