Put them here between Code tags so we can read it all.

I'm helping to create a landing site for some friends doing some great stuff on Funny or Die. They own the content hosted there, but they would love to have visitors on their page still count toward their FoD views.

I did try the gigya short code workaround (in Safari), but didn't have success with it-- just got a blank area where the video would be. Has anyone had this work? I know FoD isn't a supported embed but boy do I not want to dive into WP.org if I can help it.

The content we're looking to embed is the stuff here: http://www.funnyordie.com/topic/swampoon

Any help/insight is appreciated.

In order to do that with Funny or Die videos, you'd have to have permission and then download them to your computer and then upload them.

I'm using Firefox 9.0 and have not been able to use it...yet...if the video uses iframes or script code they don't want it anymore than WordPress does.

If you're patient or smart or both (I'm neither), Panos' gigya shortcode workaround is brilliant. I've was able to use it a couple of times.

Like RC said, sometimes you'll find the same content on YouTube, but not always. Darn it.

Funny or Die is not one of their supported sites, and I thought it was because it had been listed as supported on another page within the forums.

Guess I'll have to go the vodpod route.

Thanks, timethief, and apologies for my typos!

an embed code's an embed code

Umm ... think again. WordPress.com is a multiuser blogging platform and there are code restrictions here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

If you cannot embed the Funny or Die video using vodpod then I suggest you try gigya shortcode. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/07/03/gigya-shortcode-1-videos/

Maybe Funny or Die doesn't support embedding on their content on WordPress?

I'm using Chrome. Could that potentially be part of the issue?

I've never had this issue before either...as far as I'm concerned, an embed code's an embed code and the only reason I've ever had them not work with certain Vimeo links where "user does not have permission."

Thanks for the help!

Since when do embed codes not actually work? It doesn't make any sense at all.

I'm not a newb to blogging/WordPress, or for that matter, embedding video which is what I'm having an issue with. I'm trying to share something from Funny or Die, but no matter how I try (copy + pasting the URL, copy + pasting BOTH "old" and "new" embed codes) the video will NOT show up. This is so simple on Tumblr and other sites, and I have no idea why I'm having such a problem now. All I end up with is either a hyperlink or a bunch of code, neither of which I'm shooting for. Are other people having this same issue, and if so, how do I work my way around it so that I can embed video easily? I made my first post on the new site yesterday and embedded a vid from YouTube without any problems at all. The URL of the site is unltdedition.com

Thanks in advance for any help!

I've been embedding videos from Funny Or Die for a long time. I'm an editor, and I have work up on the site. All my videos have been looking great up until a few days ago when I realized they had all changed to displaying "The Landlord", the Will Ferrell video. Is something now broken with that embedder? I just tried to add a new video today and the same thing happened. What is going on?

Why is that when given a code directly from the origin of the video, which would full support the site where there original content is coming from, I am still just essentially posting a bunch of coding links?
