Want to Embed Comedy Central Video? Get Ready to Advertise!

I was a little surprised when I went to make this post using the comedy central “video embed” and upon previewing my post saw tiny text-link advertisements for other comedy-central programming underneath the embedded video. I did not want this! I only wanted the video!

Direct Embed From Comedy Central:

Code Trimmed to Show JUST the Video:

So I hacked their code [deleted] to get rid of the advertisements which I never asked for to begin with. Want to see the difference between my “pure video” embed and the “advertised embed”. Here is the code comparison:

Pretty lame that they try and get people using the embed to unknowingly run their advertisements.

  • Why should they give it out for free, if we want to see good stuff online I don't think its to unreasonable for the people who made the stuff to make a little money out of it. Besides that a lot of the free and pirated clips go down often. Well I agree it is annoying, I would rather at the end of the day, put up with the adds but at least have the clip not be deleted in a week. Are you willing to pay comedy central to let you put there clip up without advertising?
