In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B5R1lkR9mA 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: An unlisted behind the scenes mockumentary of the controversial advert for Go Daddy, which was supposedly scheduled for the 2015 Super Bowl but pulled after receiving complaints. It is believed by many that Go Daddy intended to cause a shock (and therefore receive free advertising in the form of news stories), given that they very quickly came up with a replacement ad. The advert has a story of a golden retriever puppy named Buddy, who falls off the back of a vehicle. He finds his way back home to the farm (or puppy mill), only to be sold via his owner's website. GoDaddy is an internet domain registrar, web hosting, and cybersquatting company.
