When doing more research on Google Video, I found an archive of data from the site. archive.org/details/googlevideo2011?tab=collection
Maybe, we could see if anything from this video is saved here?

That's a good lead, but idk how to really search those or what to even do with those links.

It looks like in order to search this archive we'd need to know things like the upload date, length, or hash of the video, which are all things that would require finding the video first to know, making it very much Catch-22-esque. Unless we can find more information about it - perhaps, hypothetically, a particular link to a google video that we know once hosted the ad - it seems like the metadata here just isn't enough to search without going through every single video individually, which would take a ridiculous amount of time.

Supposedly, about 40% of the content hosted on Google Video in 2011 was archived, and Google did migrate all videos hosted on that service at the time to unlisted YouTube videos.

There is a 4.2 GB text file listing the titles and descriptions of hundreds of thousands of Google Video uploads, but the file is far too cumbersome to work with - I attempted a few searches, but didn't get anything out of it.

After throwing about 30 minutes of my computer at searching the file, I found no results for "betta don't" or "betta dont", and 7 results for "better don't"/"better dont", none of which were related to the ad. Seems like it's going to be harder than just searching the archive.

I don't know what a hash is, so I can't find it for now.

I previously mentioned that Google Video had migrated most of its content to private YouTube videos - this video in particular (which I'm pretty sure isn't the ad we're looking for but I suppose probably could be) would be www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf4ScQ4T6io, but unfortunately it does not seem to have been archived in its capacity as a YouTube video either. And the Wayback Machine doesn't appear to have saved the YouTube url associated with the "-1912141977114675319" video, unfortunately.

UPDATE: I found the listing for that video in the aforementioned 4.2 GB text file, it reads as follows:

I don't have the slightest idea what any of this means, but it makes me hopeful that the video may be archived somewhere.

Did you at least try stuff like mcdonalds commercial 2004 or chicken selects or phrases like that?

Yes. "Chicken selects" returned nothing, "mcdonalds" returned 2,000 hits that I simply do not care enough to sift through. Here are the results for "mcdonalds commercial", though, if you're interested.

EDIT: I noticed that a description in one of the videos used an ableist slur. In the interest of appropriate content warnings, I've moved the results to a pastebin so they are no longer hosted on this site. This should also make the thread easier to read since there's no longer the massive code block.

I sent them a DM with the requested information. In future to anyone reading this thread: The file is publicly available. I understand it's cumbersome, but you can search it yourself. If you really want me in specific to search it (for whatever reason, since it would probably be faster for you to do it yourself) just send me a DM instead of posting in this thread.

On the thread topic: I was finally able to get the Google Video Download python script working, and sadly can confirm that the two videos (ids -1912141977114675319 and -3148298871695865244) mentioned in the forum thread linked on the previous page are not located in that archive, nor can I find further metadata for the first of those ids which remains mysterious. Still, now that I have a much better grasp of the topic, we should have an easier time dealing with Google-Videos-related leads going forward.

Sory, I just wanted to know if anything new was there. And there was.
I won't do it again in this thread.

We could ether do
A. Look to see if the saved date has any leads to any other searches.
Or B. Try and see if the other date regarding McDonalds commercials have something.

I still think it's unlikely that this exact video is the one we're looking for. I also noticed there's a lot of obvious spam in the original list - I'll try to prune some of that and get it in an easier to peruse state.

The video is from 2012 and from what I can gather from his other videos he's not even American. The chances of it being YBD are so insanely slim that I wouldn't even consider it a lead at all. This could be literally ANY McDonald's commercial.

I'd be weirded out if someone contacted me out of the blue about a video I deleted years ago.
