That looks just like David Tennant. Not that I'm surprised that he's that awesome

[–]mordecaidrake 238 points239 points ago

That is David Tennant, which is why this gif is awesome.

[–]beenman500 53 points54 points ago

he was doing an advert for sky or virgin I believe

[–]Hypnosaur 41 points42 points ago

Virgin, Richard Branson goes in to a time machine or something at the end.

[–]VanDerLinde 30 points31 points ago

The BBC complained saying that Virgin were using the idea of Doctor Who to promote a product.

[–]MrMcQuone 6 points7 points ago

Good, I don't know why but I really dislike Virgin. Colour me a Sky Ultralist.

[–]Danbu42 21 points22 points ago

Sky Ultralisk? Mother of God...

[–]MrMcQuone 10 points11 points ago

[–]FrENTchCanadian 2 points3 points ago

A tyranid ay, cant pick this one. Hive tyrant? its the hooves that are throwing me off i think.

[–]MrMcQuone 0 points1 point ago

I'm not going to lie, I only know that an Ultralisk is something to do with Starcraft. Anything else is beyond me. I'm sorry.

[–]they_call_me_dewey 0 points1 point ago

I think Richard Branson should trade places with James Dyson.

[–]Matyr_mcfly 0 points1 point ago

I dislike Sky because of the large percentage of it owned by News Corp. I currently have Virgin Media and think it's great. I'm on the 60Mb package and normally get around 63Mb. I can download a 7GB game off steam in about 15 minutes. It's mental.

[–]VanDerLinde 0 points1 point ago

I (my family) have always had Sky, and now we have Sky broadband. I wouldn't say I favour them, but their internet is at a decent speed, reliable and cheap, and their TV services never have any major problems.

[–]MrMcQuone -1 points0 points ago

Yeah its the same here. I get a nice 16Mb Avg. speed AND I get Sky Sports F1 and Sky Atlantic.

WATCH ALL THE GAME OF THRONES!

[–]PromaneX 0 points1 point ago

enjoy your 16Mb while we enjoy our 100Mb connection with virgin :P

[–]MrMcQuone 0 points1 point ago

I'll enjoy my Game of Thrones >:D

I'm a virgin, which he can take away at any time.

God, I loved watching David Tennant on Top Gear. "So I hear some call you David Ten-inch?"

[–]tasslehof 35 points36 points ago

Was that not Bille Piper?

[–]imjustmichelle 9 points10 points ago

twas!

[–]iarenotamused 10 points11 points ago

Which episode is David Tennant in??? I must know! :D

[–]Mattshyd 17 points18 points ago

Series 10, Episode 10.

[–]iarenotamused 13 points14 points ago

you mean to say he's the tenth doctor as well?!

[–]Hailogon 9 points10 points ago

Wake up sheeple!

[–]WonderPhil92 1 point2 points ago

Isn't it funny that David Tennant was the 10th Doctor? Maybe they did that on purpose? WHO KNOWS.

[–]smred 0 points1 point ago

Is that two fives?

[–]zerophewl 15 points16 points ago*

It is David Tennant. He now does ads for virgin media, this particular ad was about how their on demand service doesn't buffer.

[–]Zerosan 3 points4 points ago

What did you try to achieve here?

You correct one mistake and make another one.

[–]Rixxer 5 points6 points ago

At the beginning it looks like David, but after the swing it looks like Jim Carrey. I was extremely confused.

[–]GeorgeTaylorG -2 points-1 points ago

Looked like the new Spider-Man to me.

[–]spiraleclipse -2 points-1 points ago

But The Doctor has the time to wait for buffering!

Wait. He doesn't have to wait. He's killing the buffering for US. The HUMANS. Because he's that badass.

[–]Piotr555 89 points90 points ago

[–]Ihateyourdick 28 points29 points ago

Even with the head trauma, he looks like he's having a good time.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points ago

He should have squatted down. Standing up, his momentum wasnt being distributed properly.

[–]Se7en_Sinner 16 points17 points ago

Everyday I'm bufferin'

[–]Believes_in_Gosh 4 points5 points ago

I have to ask, did something happen to Youtube within the past year? My internet connections haven't changed but it is so much worse than it used to be. Only 6-7 months ago, I could put on almost anything in 1080p and paused for maybe 5 seconds and play the entire video with no buffering/stuttering. Now I can't even do that with a 480p video.

[–]Captainpanda55 1 point2 points ago

This is how everyone feels about buffering. It's why the gif exists.

[–]zhandz 1 point2 points ago

Awkward when my internet sucks so bad this gif took 5 minutes to buffer

[–]no_pants 1 point2 points ago*

The best part is that developers couldn't figure out how to calculate and update an actual percentage progress bar in a consistent way. It is tougher problem then it looks. So instead they invented the circular load bar animation that just repeats to take its place. Netflix on xbox has two circular load circles so you know its working twice as fast! But youtube takes the cake with their gray buffer bar that is just a blatant lie. I can imagine the meeting about this... "Just tell them its already buffered, no one will ever notice"

[–]Paxjax 1 point2 points ago

Yes, I thought it was David Tennant. Any gif of him makes me happy.

[–]gentlemandinosaur 1 point2 points ago

I am sorry, but I am going to "Grandpa" it. If buffering nowadays bothers you... you have no idea what buffering really is.

Swing a bat with decent form? (I give him credit though since he's a Brit, maybe they should have given him a cricket bat.)

This was answered by a youtube dev in one of these threads. Basically audio and video are loaded seperately, thus why you can see video but still have to wait.

Ironic because I had to wait like 2 minutes for that .gif to completely render.

[–]jeblis 0 points1 point ago

Not the problem is youtube lying about buffering. It stops and buffers when there is clearly more on the buffer line. Also YouTube is buggy it just hangs and reloading or moving the slider around fixes it.

[–]mysticdickstick 0 points1 point ago

Geez, give it a second, will ya... it's a marvel of since and technology that was nothing but a dream 20 years ago... and all you can do is be like: meehhh pffff fuuuuuckin piece of shit takes forever.

The pictures and videos travel magically through air and sometimes even space, would you give it a second???

[–]Forhavu 0 points1 point ago

I thought it wasn't going to load at first

[–]PizzaGood 0 points1 point ago

OK, the alternative is that it just locks up until the entire clip is downloaded start to finish before playing. Would that be better?

[–]Lereegon 0 points1 point ago

This is good because of David Tennant.

[–]Buck515 0 points1 point ago

A friend of mine firmly believes that videos only buffer when other people are watching them and we need to wait our turn. I don't bother to correct him.

[–]tehteh67 0 points1 point ago

Actually ironic that while the gif was loading, it looked like a video that was buffering every second...

[–]PETC 0 points1 point ago

I will never complain about buffering ever, because I was around during the early days of the Internet, where they promised us streaming video and non-midi quality audio. Television, radio, they promised it all. Their vehicle was RealPlayer, and if what we have now does something called "Buffering" the streaming content, RealPlayer did this thing called "Really, we're never going to Play your content."

My internet is so slow that the first time through I thought the gif stopped intentionally as the joke and the guy had to wait for the buffer mark to get through so he could finally hit it.

[–]snapplesauce123 0 points1 point ago

Its funny, because the gif was lagging, and then it went fast as soon as the buffering was broken

Enjoy Verizon Wireless. Their 4G is terrible. It is constantly dropping out mid activity and then switching to 3G (so it freezes, restarts at a slower speed) and then catches 4G again (so it freezes, switches back to 4G) and goes again.

Literally twice as much buffering than 3G.

[–]RDandersen -4 points-3 points ago

No, you love buffering. Without buffering you wouldn't be able to watch on the internet when your connection is acting up or when it's slow. If all video played the frames instantly as they loaded it would be (the invention of dubstep and) bullshit and you would beg for someone to invent a feature where you could just not play the video until a good portion of it was actually loaded.

That gif is how you feel about your shitty internet.

[–]mattxblack 3 points4 points ago

It's two different meanings of the word "buffering". There is the technical term and the one in common use.

See programmer hacking vs naughty hacking, rap=rhythmic poetry vs rap=hiphop, screen=plate of glass vs screen=monitor, Linux=GNU/Linux vs Linux=just the kernel, flu=Orthomyxoviridae infection vs flu=any mild viral infection.

Specialist words often change their meaning when they enter the mainstream. It is pretty obvious which one was meant. The fluidity of English makes it a wonderful language, there's no point getting upset about it.

PS I just learned that "buffering" is easily mistyped as "buggering".

[–]RDandersen 0 points1 point ago

It's two different meanings of the word "buffering".

Fair point, but which one do you honestly think most people complaining about "buffering" refers to?

[–]mattxblack 1 point2 points ago

Well, I think they are using "buffering" in a non-technical sense, to mean that the buffers have run dry and the video is paused while the tubes catch up.

This is not quite the full technical definition of buffering, which you alluded to above. But it is a common definition, probably originally coming from RealPlayer back in the day.

[–]RDandersen 0 points1 point ago

Sounds about right. And used today to describe the first world problem of Nicky Minaj's newest "music" video not loading instantly in 1080p on your 2mb/0.4mb connection that is constantly strained from downloading Jersey Shore and Whitney season packs.
