Great. Rickrolls.

Cool idea. I think I looked for something like this before :P

Hands up.... who thought that was going to be Rick Astley?

www.theeter.com is a similar site. it also lets you choose your own domains :P.

check out chrome.theeter.com to see an example.

Dailymotion is worse than YouTube :

Oh great! Now we get ... "goatse.cx – The Movie!"

Thanks for the mention, Philipp :-)

Doesn't really have the same effect now that YouTube embeds the title in the movie. They need to append &showinfo=0 to the embedded URL to remove this info apparently...

done :-)

You don't need that. Instead of linking to youtube.com/watch?v=1234, link to youtube.com/v/1234.

Example: http://www.youtube.com/v/oHg5SJYRHA0

Ionut, plus you need to add "showinfo=0" as parameter to the final URL, now that Google shows the title in the video.

Interesting, you can also adjust the "title" parameter... e.g. make it read "foo" instead of "RickRoll'd".

You can also fake the rating and the length displayed initially.

&title=Cute cats&avg_rating=5&length_seconds=900
