Not everyone loves a good scary. A five second teaser forThe Nunhas been deemed too terrifying, and Youtube had to pull it.Valak the Demon Nunwas popping up before videos that had noting to do with horror, and Youtubers just weren’t having it.
Remember those viral videos from a few years back, where the viewer is lulled into watching a seemingly innocuous ride through the country or two lovers making out? Then all of a sudden a zombie jumps out and scares you to death like a heart attack inducing Jack-In-The-Box? That’s essentially what this new spot forThe Nunis. It’s a big jump scare, and some folks having been flinging their coffee across the room because of it.
“YO PUTTING AN UNEXPECTED COMMERCIAL FOR THE NUN ON THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO IS NOT FUCKING OK I JUST SCREAMED MY HEAD OFF. WTF.”
One individual tried to shame Youtube for playing such a dirty trick, and was quite shaken by what she saw in the video. She tweeted out this.
“Shame on YouTube for having that ad of the nun pop out of no where bc I just had a heart attack”
Another individual also screamed in all caps after witnessing the horrors of Valak. This demon sure knows how to rile up a crowd, doesn’t she?
“IM LITERALLY SHAKING AND TEARING UP RIGHT NOW I JUST WANTED TO PLAY EPIPHANY BUT WHY DID YOUTUBE GAVE ME A FUCKING THE NUN JUMPSCARE AS AN AD AT 5 FUCKING AM.”
Ah, it was all in good fun, and well played byWarner Bros. and New Line. Some people just can’t take a joke anymore. The teaser is quite effective, and now that it’s been pulled, it should put a little extra attention on theupcoming horror movie. While most Youtubers complained about the content of the ad itself, most were also concerned with the fact that it was playing before comedy and music videos, and had noting to do with horror. It took them by surprise, and most people under 40 hate surprises.
Youtube had to look at the ad under its policy on shocking material. Usually, this covers things like Logan Paul showing a suicide victim in a forest, or graphic injuries. Youtube believes that Warner Bros. and New Line’s attempt to scare unsuspecting folks also falls into this category. So they got rid of the ad. It’s been re-uploaded and now comes with a warning, but you won’t see it pop up before your Amy Schumer video or how to make a pie. So, now that you’re well aware of what awaits, do you dare click on the horrors of thisThe Nunspot? I dare you.
