One time I got an ad the STARTED with a 5 minute countdown, and then proceeded into a "live stream" of some dumb mobile game. It's amazingly clever advertising, as someone only half paying attention with videos just cycling through might leave that going for an hour and a half thinking it's a legit video of some game.
Edit: I watched for a good 7 minutes just because I was so flabbergasted by it and wanted to see where the countdown was taking me.

Huh, Nintendo really wasn’t fucking around when they said they’re serious about advertising.
