Okay, so the problem with anaglyph 3D is that the quality of the 3D effect depends entirely on whether your glasses match the filter used to make the movie. It works quite well for me when I combine two different anaglyph glasses. My left eye gets the red lens from red/green glasses and my right eye gets both the green lens from the same and the cyan lens from magenta/cyan glasses. They're all just flimsy pieces of plastic that don't filter particularly well, but by stacking the right pieces of plastic, the 3D effect becomes quite clear.  
 
The thing is, there are a million different kinds of anaglyph glasses and the only ones that really work well are red/green and red/blue with monochrome imagery. All the various combinations that were designed for coloured 3D require very precisely tuned filters to be applied to the video and only work with high quality glasses. Most people just have flimsy paper&plastic glasses which bleed like crazy even when they're supposed to work. Monochrome video might sound ancient, but I hear it's all the rage in games these days and if it can show the 3D effect well (with almost any kind of paper 3D glasses) I think that's potentially more interesting that color.

" I just remembered my copy of Coraline on blu-ray has some 3D glasses in it. Yay!  Edit: This is terrible. "
Coraline (at least the DVD version) comes with green/magenta. You need red/green. You can kind of make due by wearing the Coraline glasses backwards, but the green side doesn't block enough colours and the magenta side blocks some colours it shouldn't and doesn't block some it should. 
  
@HippoLauncher said:
" It was too deep. I couldn't focus that far away.     "

Keep in mind that this comes from a 3DS with a (relatively) small screen that you hold fairly close to your eyes. It might be easier to see the 3D properly if you take some distance from your monitor. Also, it's nitpicky, but focussing isn't the problem. Your eyes focus on your monitor as always. Your brain might have trouble combining the two different images into a natural 3D sensation partly because you CAN focus on everything at once, which isn't how our eyes are supposed to work.

I just ordered a few different pairs of plastic red/blue glasses from Amazon, even if Giantbomb doesn't keep doing 3D quicklooks, I'm sure they'll come in handy for other things... maybe.

I used my official Sly Cooper 3 red/blue 3D glasses and it didn't work so well. Had a few instances of enhanced depth but I think the alignment was off on the red and blue images or something.

I'm not kidding when I say I've got a pair of 3D glasses on my desk, ever ready for situations like this.
 
EDIT: For the record, it worked pretty well for me, too. Certainly not the worst implementation of this style of 3D.

" Wow, I actually got a bit queasy from that (Could've been the chili dogs I just ate though).  

It seemed like it kept being on the verge of working (I used the same Trioviz glasses that did some surprisingly good 3D stuff with Batman: Arkham Asylum and Enslaved: Odyssey To The West), but the videos were too far apart. They kept converging and didn't really give off a 3D image until the monkey was about to hit a banana for example. The UI popped.  A little calibration and you guys might actually pull this crazy scheme off "
The Trioviz glasses are not red/blue anaglyph and should not work with this video in any way. "
Well I'll be damned. Then it's either the power of suggestion or those damned chili dogs. 
Guess I'll wait for my Blu-ray of Jackass 3D to show up in the mail and try those glasses.

I used cinema style 3d glasses because I don't actually have red/blue. Cinema glasses do not work.

Man, I have a legit plastic pair of red/blue glasses I bought to play Left 4 Dead (and secretly, Rad Racer) in 3D, which worked, but this sure didn't! Maybe I have "red/cyan" lens or something lame, because the red filtered correctly but with the blue lens I was definitely seeing double.

YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT I SAW MAN. THE CIA! THEY KIDNAPPED ME! I SAW THINGS MAN, THINGS NO MAN SHOULD HAVE TO SEE.
 
 But no, there was no 3d effect to it, but at least it took away the harsh/red blue of it  so it wasn't like my eyes were on fire. If they're going to go this route at least those glasses will see some use for that.

3D doesn't work at all, no matter how it's presented. I have lazy eye. So even if this weren't a joke, I wouldn't be able to watch it. 
 
One time on a school trip we went to see a documentary on whales in iMax 3D, and I had to suffer through the whole thing. It fucking sucked, because I could actually watch the movie better with the glasses off, because seing 2 (out of 5) fairly clear images was better than seeing 1 extremely blurry image. 
 
Also, I haven't even pressed play, but just the still has fucked up my eyes. You should probably change the still image to be something that isn't dangerous to people's vision.
