Um... video's broken. Protip: If in doubt, press preview.

Any idea of what I did to make it break? I thought I did everything right.

you copy/pasted the wrong bit. For the URL you gave, the bit in square brackets should have been youtube=vJG698U2Mvo - everything past the 'equals' sign

Edit: and I got both of the questions 'right'. Sorry, I guess

Alright, I got things worked out, thanks for the help!

Easy one. This one is far too well known to trick most people.

Unfortunately I've seen this before. Thing is, the video is titled selective awareness, so people can kind of expect what's going to happen.
If you want awesome brain fuckery, well.There's actually a really cool Cracked article on this stuff, let me see if I can dig it up.

I've seen many of this type of thing before, so I knew there was going to be something like that, and therefore couldn't miss it.

This is awesome, Thanks for sharing. I just bought the invisible gorilla off Amazon because of this. Thank You!

 

[Lizardon]

Sorry but I've seen this before. First time I saw this I totally missed the gorilla.

Wow I didn't realise what he was doing at the start. The other guy looked a lot like him.

 

[DaKiller]

... was I not supposed to notice the guy in the gorilla suit? Cause I noticed him. He made me lose count. ^^;;

**high five**

Horrah! We're both apparently very attentive people... who are easily distracted by people in gorilla suits.

 

[Mallefunction]

I missed 3 of the passes thanks to the people in black shirts getting in the way, but yes, I did see the gorilla as I counted.

 

[Electric Alpaca]

Pretty proud of myself there, counted all 15 passes and noticed the gorilla. I didn't lock eyes on the gorilla, more saw it stroll in, clocked it, and continued counting. I made sure to register the double S and trio of life doors too.

I'm quite an attentive and possess an extensive memory too - which I use to my advantage both professionally and personally. One thing I can actually be grateful of my upbringing.

 

[silver wolf009]

I guess fourteen because I saw one I wasn't sure if they had passed it, and I saw the gorillia. Off by one, not bad.

 

[Llil]

There's another really interesting one:
The first time I watched it, I didn't notice anything. Of course now that it's posted on a topic like this, you'll know to look for something strange.

I did notice the curtain out the corner of my eye, but I didn't notice the player backing out of the game.

 

[EBHughsThe1st]

I counted 15, and I saw the Gorilla.

 

[Kieros]

I always seem to miss one pass. In the fist video, I counted 14, and saw the gorilla. In the second, I counted 15, saw the gorilla, watched the color change, and wondered "Wait, why are only two leaving off to the left side, while three on the right?" so I think a partial observance of the person leaving the game.

 

[Marmal4de]

First time I saw the ending I was sure this was a joke, how could I have missed a gorilla strolling through the middle of the screen? I should have guessed from the video title that something like this would happen, but I suppose the power of "Ooh a bouncy ball... shiny" got the best of me. Well at least I got the number of passes right.
