We Heart YouTube

[Miktar]

YOUTUBE IS 5 YEARS OLD

Let's celebrate by showing some of our favorite videos, paying tribute to those with too much time for our amusement.

Oh my god I forgot about those Ian Mckellen impressions, those had me in ****ing stitches.









And, of course, all the Charlie the Unicorn clips. But I'm sure everyone here has seen those already.

[Kharrak]

Thank you youtube for all the time wastin' :D

[Miktar]

I love the world.

[Chippit]

It's a bit scary that I've seen most of those videos too. Eek. Time wastin' indeed.

[FEN1X]

I'm more amazed by what I haven't seen :O

The fireball when that guy hits that ball and the slide :OOOOOOO

[Garson007]

Four awesome chords they are.

Also, it's suddenly sunk in... five years? Is that all it's been? I find that ****ing terrifying.

[Cleric]

YouTube has only been around for five years?! It feels like much longer than that.

ZoRPA, you only need to paste the video "code".

So instead of
[ youtube ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqi0M8X7KXw[ /youtube ]
just put down
[ youtube ]fqi0M8X7KXw[ /youtube ]

(You need to remove the spaces, of course)

There is an "embed" button under the video. I use it and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, not sure why :S

[Chippit]

The embed button is html for websites. The forum software will shield out html to prevent script exploits. It shouldn't work here.

Ah, right. Gotcha.

Must have been baked and confused where I was posting ****.

Also, to add to what CrashHelmut said, the video ID code may also include an underscore, occasionally immediately after the equals. It is part of the code, so don't leave it out!
