Add Captions to Videos. Rule the Interwebs.
PSSSTTTTTTTH. Hey Failers, can you check out a new beta project we’ve been working on?
It’s called Tofulator. We’re gathering a collection of YouTube videos that have been captioned for lulz.
We’ve also built our own video captioner. So you can put captions on any YouTube video and make hilarity ensue. You getting this, Camera Guy?
Another project, jeez, you guys have been busy!
I know!
So, the Tempehlator was too gassy in the end?
do you have permission from Youtube to do this? if you don’t have, then isn’t it illegal?
i mean the captioner
Sounds like fun. I just hope people don’t spam the video with comments so it loses it’s “funny” quality.
Exactly. I can’t stand that pause for, “something funny happens in 3…2…1.” It sucks all the funny out.
That’s right up there with “this is great. Check this out” Come on people…
EXACTLY!!
Please stop ruining videos. Watermarking is enough.
Sadly, I think you’re in for some disappointment. There are always people who do that.
I know. I am just hoping that it isn’t excessive. I think that sometimes the extra stuff enhances it, but if the poster isn’t funny, it will drag the video down too. But I guess that is they way of it, and I am determined not to let those that misuse this new system (which BTW sounds good… from a fellow programmer – keep up the hard work) ruin the fun of the videos.
THe fastest way to prevent fun from being derived from comments is for the top guy to type “FIRST! HAHA LOL! I IS AT TOP OF PAGE d00d 1337!”
More annoying and fun killing are the comments complaining about how they don’t like what FailBlog is doing. Be it captions, picking images, whatever.
I don’t agree. A funny fail is a funny fail. if its ruined with 3..2..1.. countdowns and unfunny commentary, its no longer funny. Comments complaining about something ruining something that would otherwise be funny isn’t at all more annoying or fun killing.
Comment fails are exponential fun though…..
Even more annoying than that are fanboys, like you Avis.
Female, for the record. And you are not required to come to this site. To my knowledge no one is holding you at duress to post here, so deal with it!
LOL… Female
Benny Lava, here I come!
Absolutely Benny Lava & Bunch! The funniest video stuff on the web, (if you aren’t from India)! It totally confuses, conflicts & confounds me even with the sound off.
Cat Tech Support is absolutely hilarious!
i cnat wait to start tagging videos with
‘insert potato here ->’
hilarity DOES ensue
And she does die.
Am I getting myself? Absolutely not.
Hey many generic avatars on this site look like a swastika, but never so much as yours!
Wow! You aren’t kidding! Yikes!
Nazi!
last!!! (until someone else posts) but whatever yay anyway
Kind of like YouTube annotations?
WIN
?
You can add notes to Youtube videos when you post them. I’m sure you’ve seen it by now. I haven’t cared enough to check if you can add them to other people’s vids. (If it were me, I’d sure as heck turn that feature off though.)
Oh my. Possessed by Satin again, was I? I certainly didn’t forget to change my name back, anyway.
*innocent whistling*
Satin? Vouliez-vous dire Satan?
I’m thinking BFF was questioning letmecomment’s comment.
Ah, that makes more sense. At least I’m not the only one running at less than 100% this evening.
LOL! I already made one called Shamwow… The inappropiate version.
I hate all the “win” counters in the new FAILBLOG videos.
agreed! the countdown totally ruins the spontaneous hilarity!
I also agree, the countdowns are just annoying and distract from the video. The intros are not that wonderful either…
I think most of the captioning is really annoying. Usually captions end up being more of a distraction to the lulz in the video than anything else.
‘Specially when the guy making the caption is 10 years old and makes the caption as big as the screen.
I really enjoy the current music overlayed so it drowns out that from the video.
Commenting in 3…2…1….
*shoots self in head*
If only!
They’re not so great, to be completely honest.
You put that line from the Shamwow guy, Vince Offer at the end. Hear that? That’s Billy Mays coming to kick your ass.
i cant wait for another hitler video….
OMG hitler hates LINUX!
oh that sucks
man this is my favorite fail
Oh god, the captions ruin the videos. Please stop. Think of the children. Or at least think of something.
Seriously. Don’t. The captions aren’t funny.
If you’re bored, trying knitting but don’t ruin perfectly good videos
Video improvement Fail!
Stop whining about the intro/countdown
Personally i think the new intro is great! Its not a tacky mess made in movie maker, its short and doesn’t effect the video at all.
The 3, 2, 1 thing doesn’t ruin “the spontaneous hilarity” as one guy said. The countdown comes AFTER the video is played. Intro > full playback of fail with no captions > countdown to highlight the fail > credit to uploader
One guy moans about it and everyone just jumps on the “Oh the intro sucks wah wah” bandwagon. Just enjoy the fail!
KTHXBAI
this is a total copy off of smouch.net
No, NicoVideo did this ages ago. But since it’s only available in Japanese, Chinese, German, and Spanish, I guess this is all English-speakers have.
OUT OF ALL THESE OTHER ITEMS WITH HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS, THIS HAS ONLY 57…..I’D CALL THAT A FAIL!!!!!
