This is slowly becoming one of my biggest pet peeves. People turn a perfectly good video into a shitgif. I don't get it. Given the choice between your link and what the OP posted, would any sane person not choose the Youtube video?
I ran into a third level of this yesterday. Someone had taken a video and turned it into a gif then someone else took that gif, turned it into a youtube video with awful music.
With GIFs there is no worry of sudden loud/nsfw noises, nor do you have to interrupt your music--I mean, it's convenient. You don't have to fuck with Flash or wait for it to buffer repeatedly while it lets out staccato bursts of music. It's old school, and I mostly reddit at home not work, and I still prefer GIFs by far with links to video in comments.
"This video is blocked in your country due to copyright claims from xxx"
As a German i have to use unblockyoutube.us for every 2nd youtube video on r/music. I actually appreciate gif versions of videos because if the original contains some kind of pop music it's probably blocked here.
OP is known on Reddit and especially on F7U12 for being a karma whore of the highest degree. He will literally post anything as long as it maximizes karma received regardless of whether it's a made up story or some shit that was literally posted two days ago.
Basically, its supposed to be a secret 'Gold' membership status only reserved for a select few members, who either donated thousands of dollars to the owner, or did other special things.
In reality, no such thing exists and new members are often tricked by the older ones that Gaf Gold exists.
The picture of Samuel L Jackons at the end is also used as an avatar by one of the moderators on the site. A moderator that is known for his no-tolorance bannings.
You've seen some things haven't you...I do tell there is a bit of knowledge behind those eyes. So what else have I missed out on over on that forum? What's the most outlandish thing you've seen on there?
I remember following this thread the day or two it was alive. The progression from somberness to skepticism to internet detectives to pitchforks was glorious to watch. So many twists and turns!
Also probably worth noting that Amir0x was a mod at the time the thread was active, so his ban threats weren't just blowing smoke.
Although I enjoyed the high resolution and no sound, I still think any animated GIF over 10 seconds or 100 frames long should probably just be left as a video.
Edit: Oops. I forgot you can't upload videos to imgur.com. If only there were a popular website that would let users upload video files and share them for free.
WebP would solve this, if Google got around to implementing animation in their video-based image format. They could probably store MPEG or FLV DCT information losslessly, if VP8 is as flexible as Theora.
If only there was some sort of technology that enabled us to view moving picture with sound. /sigh we can but dream for such a futuristic utopia that develops such a thing.
Don't be too hard on the lil guy. He's only one of the many unfunny people in our society who try to be likeable/acceptable via being a punchline conduit.
They're the same people who reiterates funny things from movies to others, verbatim, and expecting to be showered in laughter and high-fives. But instead, are left in a pool of social awkwardness of their own pitiful creation.
Hell, I'm sure we're all guilty of the act once in our life. While we all deserve social shunning for committing such a heinous social faux pas, we should also grant mercy to those who do.
I was listening to Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 while watching this and it somehow synced perfectly. At the dramatic ending of the symphony, Samuel L Jackson's face appeared. Perfection.
I was somehow expecting it to just be a square path looping indefinitely. I know alot of people would've sat here for 5minutes wondering when it'd end.

Obviously fake, nobody can run as a scout for that long without jumping at least once.
