Blocked in my country. Damn.

 

[kurupt87]

Ahaha, that was awesome. Not often the BBC does something that cool.

 

[sephiroth1991]

That was really good

Ahaha, that was awesome. Not often the BBC does something that cool.

what he said

 

[dthvirus]

Nothing for us Canadians either.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

The BBC hates us of the US.

 

[child of lileth]

Blocked here. :<

 

[Charli]

Your broadcasting stations often hate us too America... it's okay.

 

[rockingnic]

Blocked in my country. Damn.

why does the BBC hate America?

Because we whooped them in the revolution! This is the only way they can get back.

 

[kurupt87]

Serves you NA's right, the amount of times this happens to us Brits (Europeans too?) is infuriating.
Muahahahaha (evil laugh)

Seriously though, geographical blocking of videos is such a pointless and annoying part of the internet.

 

[InvisibleSeal]

I think it's possible it might be blocked everywhere except Britain

 

[Bloodstain]

"This video contains content from bbc, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

Aww.

 

[BeeRye]

The thing that annoys me is that I'm in Ireland and it's blocked. I mean I can switch on my tv right now and watch the BBC, why on earth do they need to block online content. Raging.

Yes it is but since you saw it could you describe it to the less fortunate?

 

[reg42]

No video-love for me either.
What happens in the video?

 

[MGlBlaze]

I hate it when videos are partially blocked based on regeon. What's the point?

It's a shame too, because that video's pretty frickin' funny. I like it when big things like the BBC have a sense of humor; especially gamer humor.

Seems I'm not the only one who thinks that way here.

 

[CrystalShadow]

Indeed. Everyone blocks eachother...

Don't they understand this is the internet?

 

[kurupt87]

Err, ok I'll give it a whirl, bear in mind of course this will not convey the funny.

Spoiler: What the vid is about...

It's about University Challenge, a quiz game for university teams.
It's set up with an old school mortal kombat visual, the health of the quizzer (jeremy paxman) vs the health of one guy from one team. The guy is clearly a pretty knowledgeable. Quick fire questions and answers through editing, get them right = paxman loses health, wrong = guy loses life. Guy has a huge "handicap" (he deals little dmg, paxman deals loads).
MK sound effects and visuals, the MK announcer saying "combo" etc, as well as the stonking hard and nearly unintelligible questions, and him getting them right, make it funny.

Its stupid enough that the Americans get blocked but the Irish get it blocked too! Thats just stupid.

Funny video though. Paxman got owned.

 

[Ben Legend]

Haha, That was simply brilliant.
