Unprofessional Fridays: UPF - 031822

Video won't play, and when I try to download it says "blocked."

Kind of works for me, though streaming it only plays at a lousy quality 720p, if at a welcome 60 fps. The best download option on the other hand nets a sweet 4K 60fps! I hope the streaming version gets that option too.

I also watched live, and the best there was 1080p 30fps. A little all over the place in regards to quality. I'll keep hope alive for that 4k/60 all the time, in all the places.

Won't play for me either, but when I click download -> low, that plays at least

Playing fine for me, 9 minutes in, on HTML5 High.

EDIT: Also, wtf is this opening? Who the heck are talking about?

Thanks y'all!

yeah vid isn't working for me either. It just immediately gives me the replay sign like i just finished it!

Video played through for me without a hitch. It took a refresh and log out/log in for me.

Plays all off video and audio slow motion on video buddy. Won't even start on Firefox mobile.

If you're having problems watching / downloading the video, there seems to be a problem with the new server the video's are on and uBlock Origin.

If I've linked that right, that should be the message that has the fix for it. You want post #1277 in the Video Problems thread in the Bug Reporting forum.

I play GB videos on a little Amlogic STB that can't play 4k h264 videos at 60fps, but can do them in h265. Is there a way of encoding them that way? Or still offering the 108p versions?

Videos uploaded this week are on the new servers that seem to be tripping people's ad blockers, so check the url of the download and whitelist the url. I also could just download it fine from the download page even if direct downloads on GB caused it to stop immediately.

@dazzhardy: Appreciated!

I was also having issues. It was Ghostery stopping the player from working for me. I just added the site as an exception and all's good now.

Fine on my mobile no issue

Hey Jan, if you are going to do Chinese checkers again, there is a way to make your setup easier as long as you keep the camera angle/board layout you had. You can mark the balls as 1-10 or A-J or however it makes sense to you. Then for movement just use clock notation up would be 12 then 2, 4, 6 for down, 8, and lastly 10.

We learned a lot about our hosts, ourselves, the social and moral boundaries of self pleasure in porn theaters vs scat based social media videos, and chinese checkers. Good job?

@dazzhardy: ty bro u a real one

I'm not sure I've ever heard Laffy Taffy in any context other than the one Girl Talk song that sampled it. That's probably its longest-lasting cultural impact at this point.

@dazzhardy: This fixed it for me, thanks

Jesus Christ, Jan Jerome, watch Night of the Hunter, goddammit!

thanks admins for fixing this

I was suspicious of the origins of "Chinese" checkers but I didn't know the game was actually German.

The video finally plays for me after whitelisting GB in Adblock Plus.

If the video doesn't play just turn off your adblocker

Allow me to quote something from Stevin John (Blippi)'s Wikipedia page.

"John started making gross out videos in 2013 under the persona of Steezy Grossman, a boy who was born as poop after his parents had anal sex.^[10]Under his Steezy Grossman alias, John developed videos such as "Turdboy" and "Underwear Man". In a 2013 video John performed theHarlem shakeon a toilet and defecated on a naked friend.

Sounds like a poop fiend.

I'd rather my child watch the guy who jerked off in a porno theatre thanks.

I love that during the jerking off in a porn theater discussion im pretty sure that after Jeff made the comment about the concession stand selling kettle corn, that Jason was about to say "they both get stuck in the back of my throat" meaning both jizz and kettle corn but stopped himself. Jason, that joke was amazing and it killed me.

Can I please watch the video, please

This episode had the best opening 15 minutes, thank you friends.

If Harlem Shitting on your friend does not make you a shit fiend, than what does? What does, my friend?

Video work on my phone but not off the computer Using the same browser chrome

Jeff always has the best Mr. Show references.

can't play this video

I am using opera gx and the video wont load unless I completely disable my adblocker that is built into the browser. I am having the same issue it seems that Ublock users are getting. If I reenable to adblocker during the video it will keep playing for a minute then I will get autodirected back to the main home page.

I've done all the "fixes" mentioned here in the comments. Literally nothing works. I had to switch to Safari. No one should have to use Safari.

Just a heads up, the video wasn't working for me yesterday with Chrome, but today it suddenly does. Didn't change any settings or anything and GB was already whitelisted with Ad Blocker. Maybe it's fixed for everyone else?

@almightymint, nope, not working on my end.

I was having a bunch of issues trying to watch this on Video Bomb for Android on my phone. Horrible frame rate, video and audio not synched, and eventually the video always stops playing with an error. Only shows as available in HD quality, no other options. Video Bomb for Android also can't play the most recent episode of Voicemail Dump truck. It returns an error saying the video isn't done being uploaded.
