What the hell, I've noticed recently that giphy doesn't do gifs anymore. Now they provide HTML5 videos.

Looks like I'm exiting Giphy just in time!
 
You mean it's blocked from using in those threads?

I give up. This is way too much hassle.
No, I'm saying if they only support videos now, just post them in the funny videos thread.

Videos are usually deleted from the Funny Images thread because a lot of users cannot see them at work as they are blocked and some auto play which can use a lot of data for mobile users.
