Where are the local ad link ads?

How can I find a link to a YouTube Ad?

  • I opened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upDIZjGWY4s (NSFW) YouTube video yesterday and before it played there was an ad made by Android that goes on for about 7 minutes basically imploring you to hit 'Skip Ad', it's hilarious and I would love to find the actual link to the video. Unlike other ads, there is no direct link at the top or a share button for it and when you click the ad itself, it opens android.com and the video isn't there. It's not on Android's YouTube channel either. Searching Google or YouTube doesn't help because words like 'Android' and 'skip ad', bring up an entirely different set of results. I guess it's possible that the video was only uploaded on the Adwords side. I refreshed the original video a ton of times and finally got the ad again, http://imgur.com/a/J3rFm are some screenshots.

I been in this situation before, and it's so odd because you'd think that - being an ad - the one thing that every ad would have is a standard mechanism for watching it again. Not that it would happen often, but every now and again one of those things is actually worth seeing a second time, and if there was a link so you could view it again, or even *gasp* send it to friends - the damn thing might even "go viral".

At least one of the ads in that campaign was directed by http://creativity-online.com/work/google-android-lollipop/37541 Maybe you could find them on email or social media and ask?

Is it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvcj9xptNOQ or one in https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwTsyIROsachsy3ayB3N7YVQV-a_9Ymue? [On preview, sounds like it's a similar ad, as these are not for Android. But it's relevant, so I'll leave the links]

Thanks themel. I see it's an unlisted video and as explained in the video description below it's intentional. We're not sure how you found this video...but you did. Congrats. It probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense (since you were only suppose to see it as a skippable YouTube ad with that skip button and everything)
