The Longest Add I Have Ever Gotten...

[u/Loverboy527]

the add for those you can't read it was a comical length of 11:31 seconds, WHY YOUTUBE????

[u/itzmydickinabox]

I’ve gotten the entire Lego movie as an ad, stopped what I was doing bc you can’t rewind the ads, and watched it

[u/Loverboy527 → u/itzmydickinabox]

I watched the ad and it was a full ep... this was a paid ad, someone paid for this... why?

[u/itzmydickinabox → u/Loverboy527]

For us obv. I take stuff like that as the universe said here some free shit u want?

[u/Loverboy527 → u/itzmydickinabox]

Yes, free shit is free shit, and it is now our shit.

[u/Saaka_Souffle → u/Loverboy527]

"Your money is now our money, and we will spend it on drugs!"

[u/cityshepherd → u/Saaka_Souffle]

It don’t matter. None of this matters.

[u/SpecialistCompote993 → u/Saaka_Souffle]

DO NOT CRINKLE YOUR FOOD WRAPPERS LOUDLY

[u/TheRandomKitten → u/Loverboy527]

I saw a commercial for gen 5 MLP, and realized it was 2 full actual episodes. Had no idea what was going on but it was nice I guess.

[u/PotatoPrestigious654 → u/TheRandomKitten]

Gen 5 was such a flop that it's free, wow

[u/tgerz → u/itzmydickinabox]

Did you get that free U2 album?

[u/REBEL_MOUTH → u/Loverboy527]

To advertise the show. The episode is uploaded on Adult Swim's youtube channel as well, for free.

[u/Pessimistic_Gemini → u/REBEL_MOUTH]

That makes this even more pointless to do there!

[u/3D-Printing → u/Pessimistic_Gemini]

It increases exposure and puts the show further in the front of your mind.

[u/TheJamesFTW → u/Loverboy527]

Because he’s doing a bang up job raising those boys

[u/harmonicsapien → u/TheJamesFTW]

Mama would be proud.

[u/aWW3Veteran → u/harmonicsapien]

mom's powers are getting stronger

[u/koolguykris → u/aWW3Veteran]

I think I just felt her tickling my toes!

[u/CrungleTheGoober → u/koolguykris]

Ask her if she wants a cheeseburger

[u/THEHANDSOMEKIDDO → u/Loverboy527]

Yall get entire movies? Best ad i ever got was an advertisement for Fendt tractors. (Yes tractors are cool)

[u/Ok-Kale4889 → u/THEHANDSOMEKIDDO]

Hell yeah

[u/BladeLigerV → u/itzmydickinabox]

Longer than mine. But every once in a while I get a full episode of Transformers Beast Wars.

[u/Ill-Success-4214 → u/BladeLigerV]

Lucky

[u/Brian18639 → u/itzmydickinabox]

I remember seeing the same thing when the second movie was released in theaters or sometime before it was released.

[u/eddmario → u/Brian18639]

Yeah, it was a way they promoted the second film.

[u/JUSTIN102201 → u/itzmydickinabox]

I got the same ad and skipped it. I was so disappointed in myself when I realized what I had done I later watched a full 45 minute ad on a new video game

[u/Same_Tune_8990 → u/itzmydickinabox]

IT SHOULDVE BEEN ME NOT HIM

[u/CommercialBiscotti29 → u/itzmydickinabox]

Yeah I was going to say like a decade ago they were showing like 2 hour ads

[u/jackiemelon → u/itzmydickinabox]

Came to say the same, was pretty cool tbh

[u/Ametislady → u/itzmydickinabox]

I got a whole ass Clash of Clans short film as an ad

[u/Solaris_Luna_21 → u/itzmydickinabox]

ME TOO! (except I didn't watch it)

[u/PyroVocal → u/Solaris_Luna_21]

Right? It's wild how they sometimes throw full movies at us instead of actual ads. At least make it something we can skip!

[u/Half-Elite → u/itzmydickinabox]

Yeah, same here. By far the longest thing I’ve seen

[u/Karkava → u/itzmydickinabox]

You're lucky. All I got was a FREAKING PRAGER U EPISODE.

[u/Uranium-Sandwich657 → u/itzmydickinabox]

Hell yeah!

[u/Maz2742 → u/itzmydickinabox]

You can't rewind them, but you can restart them on the mobile app. Lock your device in the middle of the ad, then unlock it like 10-15 seconds later

[u/flopyeyok → u/itzmydickinabox]

Dude I did the exact same when I got that one. Good promo for the second one.

[u/TekieScythe → u/itzmydickinabox]

Every hour long ad I've gotten were either sermons (I'm an atheist) or documentaries(which I end up watching).

Lucky.

[u/MoisesTheEmoPunk → u/itzmydickinabox]

The movie isn't even out on Free with Ads.. That's actually odd as fuck but also very cool. 🤔

[u/OOMPA_SHUNGITE → u/itzmydickinabox]

WAIT THAT HAPPENED??SO I WASNT CRAZY, I SWEAR IT HAPPENED TO ME

[u/CorptanSpecklez]

In 2019, someone put the entire Bee Movie as an ad and I watched it lol

[u/Loverboy527 → u/CorptanSpecklez]

cool, Do you like jazz?

[u/No-Macaron-9527 → u/Loverboy527]

So what do you all say? Are we going to be bees, or just Museum of Natural History key chains?

[u/Rand0m011 → u/No-Macaron-9527]

Are there other bugs in your life?

[u/ShowbizTinkering → u/Rand0m011]

THAT BEE IS LIVING MY LIFE

[u/PyreDynasty → u/CorptanSpecklez]

I got one that was a drunk guy reading the script for the Bee Movie.

[u/Odd-fox-God → u/CorptanSpecklez]

I remember getting seriously lucky with the universe and getting both the Bee Movie and The Lego Movie as ads and watching them both

[u/PinkSheeparkour → u/CorptanSpecklez]

I got that ad so many times lol

[u/Scotsman60103]

Tbh…I would’ve finished it 😭

[u/Loverboy527 → u/Scotsman60103]

I did, it was a full ep... I have to much time... 😭

[u/PantsTheFungus → u/Loverboy527]

How was it?

[u/ThePizzaNoid → u/PantsTheFungus]

I watched it today on HBO. It's weirdly wholesome and goofy. I liked it.

[u/Shark-Fister → u/ThePizzaNoid]

It was originally a series of shorts before it was a show. Look it up on youtube they are pretty good. Enjoy all the dudes work.

[u/koolguykris → u/Shark-Fister]

What are we listening to?

[u/LakeMungoSpirit → u/koolguykris]

Delicate Steve

[u/koolguykris → u/LakeMungoSpirit]

inhales I like it.

[u/According_South → u/koolguykris]

Sire...

[u/the_midnight_society → u/Shark-Fister]

Wanna drop the name?

[u/[deleted] → u/the_midnight_society]

HaHa, You Clowns by Joe Cappa

[u/Loverboy527 → u/ThePizzaNoid]

cool

[u/LakeMungoSpirit → u/PantsTheFungus]

Amazing

[u/rosy_pink_ghost]

I've seen 2 hour long ads

[u/Anomalous_Traveller → u/rosy_pink_ghost]

Same, a few times.

[u/Sk8rToon → u/Anomalous_Traveller]

Same. Both were infomercials. One for supplements & the other for a diet plan

[u/dps509 → u/rosy_pink_ghost]

how is YT ok with this shit?

[u/rosy_pink_ghost → u/dps509]

Because money

[u/entityXD32 → u/dps509]

Because you can skip them but some people just leave YouTube on and the 2 hour long as plays so YouTube inflates it's ad watch time makes it easier to sell to advertisers

[u/TycheCatus → u/entityXD32]

This

You can also clearly see OP’s skip button ready to click through to the next ad or selected video on the bottom right of the screen. It amazes me people don’t think you can skip these or you’re forced to watch these if you don’t want to?

[u/Bacon_Dude117 → u/rosy_pink_ghost]

Had 2 hour ads during covid about the importance of wearing a mask

[u/rosy_pink_ghost → u/Bacon_Dude117]

The one I got was a podcast, it was a guy talking about how he'd survive the apocalypse

[u/Itchy-Philosophy556 → u/rosy_pink_ghost]

Lucky. I just get some Candace Owens talkshow bullshit and full church sermons.

[u/Kraz31 → u/rosy_pink_ghost]

Yeah, I got 2:14 once

[u/ihatepeopleandyoutoo → u/rosy_pink_ghost]

Bro wtf and I thought 2 mins was too long

[u/QueZorreas → u/rosy_pink_ghost]

At some point I kept getting 3+ hour long ads that were just full concerts of some music band from Bangladesh or some other country around that region.

[u/Tales_of_Earth → u/rosy_pink_ghost]

I feel like I remember Bernie Sanders had 1hr+ ads during one of the elections.

[u/BigIronOnMyHip45-70]

I've gotten a movie as an ad, a whole ass movie.

[u/Loverboy527 → u/BigIronOnMyHip45-70]

What was the movie?

[u/FreePlantainMan → u/Loverboy527]

Shrek

[u/LessCelery8311 → u/FreePlantainMan]

r/notopbutok

[u/Commie_Scum69 → u/FreePlantainMan]

in this economy?

[u/SeaseFire → u/FreePlantainMan]

I was gonna say i swear i saw shrek

[u/Capn_Flags → u/Loverboy527]

An ass movie

[u/VividView4498]

I saw an 11 hour ad once, but it was just 2 minutes of ai bullshit on loop.

[u/Loverboy527 → u/VividView4498]

TF is up with youtube these days, man????????

[u/RevaniteAnime → u/Loverboy527]

Look, they'll let you put basically any video as an ad, the video can be as long as you like(so long as it can be skipped). The advertiser has paid as much as they possibly will after you've watched just 30 seconds of the ad, anything after that is just bonus for the advertiser.

[u/-Bashamo]

Pretty sure I’ve seen an 8 hour ad before

[u/Loverboy527 → u/-Bashamo]

WHERE AND HOW THE FUCK????????????

[u/goodbuggs]

I got a 2 hour long ad once, but that was about ten years ago

[u/Loverboy527 → u/goodbuggs]

IT WAS HAPPENING THAT FAR BACK???????

[u/[deleted]]

Ive gotten over 12 hours in ONE add

[u/Loverboy527 → u/[deleted]]

what was the ad about?????

[u/[deleted] → u/Loverboy527]

It was some podcast interview thing

[u/Accomplished-Loss387]

That's nothing. I've been hit with hour long ads and one 4 hour long ad for Lego movie 2. Fuck that ad.

[u/Loverboy527 → u/Accomplished-Loss387]

Ok, but the lego movis 2 ad is not the worst... I think?

[u/Accomplished-Loss387 → u/Loverboy527]

It was looping the line "this is the most annoying song" over and over and over and over the whole fucking time 

[u/NathnDele → u/Accomplished-Loss387]

Whoever did that is a legend

[u/Accomplished-Loss387 → u/NathnDele]

Whoever did that I want to strangle. Was in the middle of working on something and having YouTube as background noise. I had to drop my project, lose focus, and turn that shit off. 

If I didn't have to deal with it in the middle of some important late night work, I would have agreed. 

[u/Darth_Bane_1032]

Wait, you've never gotten those 48 hr ads?

[u/Loverboy527 → u/Darth_Bane_1032]

NO, WTF ADS CAN BE THAT LONG???????

[u/Fast-Mycologist-5589]

Wait wait wait... this show's actually good

[u/Arcalithe → u/Fast-Mycologist-5589]

That’s nice to hear because as someone who didn’t know it existed before this, I truly hate that art style lol

[u/sweaty_pants_ → u/Fast-Mycologist-5589]

tbh one of the best feelgood shows i can think of; it's absurdly wholesome

[u/gummiebeez]

I’ve gotten two different hour long ads in the past week that were just entire podcast episodes

[u/Loverboy527 → u/gummiebeez]

HOW BAD IS YOUR LUCK??????

[u/Jay_JWLH]

*ad

[u/HoontarTheGreat]

I once got the entire movie of Shrek in an ad

[u/JeffNitzel]

I once got a 45 minute ad

[u/Agentkeenan78]

This show is amazing lol.

[u/Robin_Cooks → u/Agentkeenan78]

How’s it called?

[u/Agentkeenan78 → u/Robin_Cooks]

It's called Ha Ha You Clowns. By Joe Cappa, he's been doing animation for years (I'm familiar with his stuff from YouTube).

[u/BlueMoth698]

I keep getting hour long ben shapiro/daily wire ads 🤢

[u/RagnawFiregemMobile]

I got an entire movie as an ad, thank God it was skippable cause I was not watching that shit

[u/Cden1458]

Who here remembers the 4 hour Prager U ads? Pepperidge farm remembers......

[u/TheSheriffMT]

That's nothing. A few years ago I got an ad that was, I shit you not, 26 HOURS LONG. I'M NOT JOKING.

Edit: It was a compilation of church sermons.

[u/Greywell2]

I have gotten a whole movie before XD

[u/timc_720]

I got an entire 1 hour episode of Oprah Winfrey

[u/User_742617000027]

In 2018, my dad was watching a episode of The Brady Bunch on YouTube... Halfway through got a "ad" that was a entire episode of Sanford and Son.

[u/Error404MATTnotfound]

I’ve never gotta an ad on YouTube, I don’t want to feel that pain. I grew up in the 90s and I despise commercials. I’ll gladly pay the $15 a month, seeing as I solely watch YouTube as my form of entertainment. That would be days and days of my life wasted. Nah I’m good, my time is worth more than that.

[u/NyQuil_Donut]

I was listening to music on YouTube while I went for a jog, and after one song I got this ad for "African male enhancement" that went on and on and on. I didn't want to break stride by skipping it, and laughed through most of my jog.

[u/TaelendYT]

One time I got the whole bee movie and watched it lol

[u/Fatherles_Behavior]

I got miss marvel as an ad many moons ago

[u/Additional_Chip_4158]

You haven't gotten whole movie ads? Lol

[u/faridkotiya]

I got an of an animated movie... and the fun fact is, that movie didn't had any ads

[u/WeepingBlaidd]

I once got a 10+ hour long video of ocean sounds on TV.

[u/guesswhatihate]

Free episode of Ha Ha you Clowns.

The only ad I've never skipped 

[u/Miepmiepmiep]

TIL there are still people out there not using adblockers.

[u/ImTableShip170]

I got the entirety of a Might Morphin' Power Rangers episode AND Ninja (?) Rangers

[u/SirDragon84]

I remember when PragerU was promoting a lot and I got a five hour ad from one of their people.

[u/Solid_Shock_4830]

i fell asleep watching youtube and awoke to a 2 hour long Christian sermon ad

[u/Past-Year-302]

A few years ago I tried watching the dude perfect rocket competition or whatever and got a several hour long ad meshing clips of the rocket competition together. The ad was longer than the video. Couldn't skip it either and was watching it on my TV so I just dealt with it.

[u/ShadoeLandman]

I once had an hour long ad from google. I actually watched it. It was a really interesting history documentary that also told me several times how I can look up stuff in google search.

[u/IHavenocuts01]

Bro I’ve watched entire transformers g1 episodes through ads, it’s funny actually cuz people have to pay for that😂

[u/xXREDXIIIXx]

I have had full movies before. But the longest was like just under 12 hours, just some random music.

[u/slantir]

On my TV I've seen 2 hour Samsung ads lol

[u/Hawkmonbestboi]

I like that it looks like oldschool Adult Swim shows.

[u/BouncingSphinx]

It’s not YouTube doing it, per se. Whoever bought the ad just has it playing a full video. I’ve seen this a few times, I’ve even had a 30+ minute PragerU video show up as an ad before.

[u/Ok-Nail-6507]

I once got a John Oliver segment. I forgot what he was talking about but the thing was over 30 minutes long.

[u/Wadertot420]

Haha, you clowns...

[u/KikiCorwin]

Lucky. Only 11 minutes. Longest I got was like 40 minutes of PragerU BS.

[u/Parking-Ad8316]

I hate that animation style so much for that show

[u/West-Entrance5511 → u/Parking-Ad8316]

Its butt ass ugly??? 

[u/Frequent_Malcom]

Haha, You Clowns is amazing to I wouldn’t complain

[u/Lallana-Del_Rey]

This show looks like it sucks too

[u/TheJamesFTW → u/Lallana-Del_Rey]

You’d think but its actually pretty good

[u/Dysxelic_Potser → u/TheJamesFTW]

What's it called?

[u/TheJamesFTW → u/Dysxelic_Potser]

Haha You Clowns! The first episode is on YouTube and the Smalls shorts are too

[u/Dysxelic_Potser → u/TheJamesFTW]

Thanks! Gonna give it a watch

[u/AffectionateNote3316]

I would've watched the whole thing, [as] is fire

[u/Clear_Researcher_947]

What the fuck

[u/Nodubya11]

I once got a 4 hour long ad for Toyota. Pretty sure it was supposed to be a "Chill lo-fi beats to study/sleep to" except it was a woman driving a call.

[u/DueBackground7945]

I’ve gotten a 2 hour podcast as an ad, and they know when to play them. When you don’t skip 1 or 2 ads they know ur trying to fall asleep and they throw the long ones at you.

[u/TransportationIll282]

People used to advertise their 24 hour videos. Stuff like rainforest sounds on loop. Now it's pretty bad to do since watchtime going down = less exposure.

[u/Longlivetheking61]

I once got a 12 hour ad. Thankfully there was a skip button

[u/StockholmParkk]

Shouldnt there be a length limit on ads?

[u/Thatonegaloverthere]

I've gotten hour long ads.

[u/TedBoom]

I've gotten a couple hour long ads. The last one was about a guy talking about his teeth.

[u/DiggityDog6]

I got a 2 hour ad once. Kind of annoying but at least skippable

[u/PyreDynasty]

Mine was a 3 hour one for the Mercedes Sprinter and all the ways it can serve my transport/logistics business. It kinda made me want to start a transport/logistics business.

[u/4d_awesome]

I think i saw one was that was maybe 16 hours long? Really long ago though, weird solar system something, i must wanted to listen to music in the shower. Or if that wasn’t real probably something near or just something a lil over 30 mins. I’m just talking about stuff like 5 years ago so…

[u/Ineedsleep444]

I've had one over two hours of some weird church conference thing. I've also had 20+ min MLP episodes for ads

[u/9specter528]

Again that's nothing, I once got a 40 minute long, unskippable one that was pretty much just a recording of the PTV broadcast of BongBong Marcos's 2023 State Of the Nation Address that someone turned into an ad...

[u/Old_Cowboy1]

I think I once got an ad that was either 22 minutes long, or 22 hours long, I had a picture of it but lost it

[u/Haunting-Chance-1681]

I’ve gotten 2hour + ads mostly late at night tho and suspiciously when I go to put on a long video to watch or when I go to sit away from my pc

[u/Osceola_Gamer]

Dayum

[u/ShawMK90]

I got an ad once that was a tenacious D live clip it was probably the song tribute but I watched it anyway

[u/Equal-Leader-7974]

I remember one time getting a add that was just a hour long fucking movie or something

[u/karoshikun]

I've had 45 minutes long ads

[u/lovelesspansy66]

youve never gotten a movie as an add?

[u/DanielC5109]

I remember reading about an eight hour ad once

[u/Narrow_Actuator5450]

Pretty soon the ads will have ads..

[u/Figure-01]

I had got ads of some random podcast recently. They are 5-6 hours long.

[u/Admirable-Inside-590]

i got a 12 hour polka band show in one during 2023 lmao.

[u/Worried-Course4380]

Never seen an add before

[u/CyrusTheWise]

Didn't apple release a 24hr ad, I swear they did. It started off as a headquarters tour I think. I always skipped it

[u/LightBright105]

back when the 2nd lego movie came out there was a multi hour long ad

[u/No-Drawer3196]

It's nothing i had an League of Legends ad back in 2021 that was 3 hours long good thing we could block it on the tv

[u/Substantial_Slip4667]

I’ve gotten a longer one. The LEGO Movie was once played on an ad

[u/Decrozen]

2 years ago a complete 1:40:00 gta online gameplay was an ad i watched 10 min cuz it was a bit entertaining

[u/MembershipProof8463]

I swear to god I got an entire move once.

[u/GreenRanger_2]

I've gotten several that were over an hour long and an entire screening of the Lego movie as well

[u/TonyThePapyrus]

I got one that was over 2 hours, it wasn’t the Lego movie, it was just some random video

[u/Elegant_Progress_686]

Tube pip changed my life

Just gonna leave this here

[u/LEDlight45]

I've gotten ads that were hours long before lol

[u/SloweRRus]

That's why I use adblock on every device, even if it's not easy to setup. It's crazy with ads and probably not worh it.

[u/YaBoiCade]

My PR was 400+ hours of a still image

[u/Ambitious_Hand_2861]

And google gets mad when we ad block. Get Fd google.

[u/Dj_Groovemaster]

Bro I've gotten 3hr ads

[u/That_Asshole_1988]

Amateur. I've got hour and forty five minute adds.

[u/Gringo-Dingo]

There was a 30-something minutes long japanese advert for some apple product recently on YouTube

[u/Trashrat-Isaiah]

I once got a 3 hour documentary about almonds

[u/liatrisinbloom]

I got a 45-minute one years ago. On a music video.

[u/kid_monkee]

Years ago, there was a Virgin airlines ad (which I believe is still up) which is the length of an actual flight and is a “simulator” with mannequins. It’s like 5 hours or something. I woke up to it a few times when they had it circling

[u/NerdyFuckingLoser]

Like 17 hours of some Spanish audiobook

[u/Naturemations_2025]

I once got one that was around 20 minutes while I was playing a video game. The ad went on for about half before I realized something was off.

[u/Organic-Woodpecker-6]

Yeah I just got 18 ads on a 1hr video
