YouTube seems to have made it unplayable (for now). You get a vague error when you try to play it.

That worked. I've seen a lot of MP videos, but I've not heard this. Very much their style, and funny in the most absurdist ways.

Thanks!

I went back to the original link and it still gives the same error. All good now though.

This one now show the same error

Works for me.

Strange. The alt link given to me in this thread worked. The original one says:

Video unavailable

This video is unavailable

Only after clicking it. The initial screen loads up as if it's going to play normally. Usually if there are geographical limits or whatever, it mentions that. But this error says the video simply isn't there.

Youtube seems to be acting weird for me recently. I assume it has something to do with their war against ad blockers. Moving too fast and breaking some things? I don't know, just a thought.
