Those Awful Pixel Yogscast Adverts

Info - The Yogscast were originally going to do their own promotional thing for pixels. However, this was only at the beginning of talks, and after being told that the owners wanted full control of this promotion, the Yogscast backed out... Dodged a bullet there.
However, (probably upon realisation on what an abomination they were trying to promote) advertisements were then made, to exclusively be shown on the Yogscasts videos, where stars of the awful movie called out upon Yogscast fans to come watch the movie. Against the Yogscasts wishes.
This meant that fans of the Yogscast would believe that the Youtube stars they loved so much were happy to promote this movie and even put their name to it. This was not the case, and the Yogscast, their fans, and others were rightfully rather angry at this.
And so these adverts started getting put on private and deleted. I think this huge blunder and incredibly devious tactic should not be swept away, so here's what I managed to scrape together that hadn't been wiped from existence.
And as a bonus, I'll also just let you know that upon the release of the Official Pixel trailers, they tried to flag down thousands of videos that just had 'Pixels' in the title, without the content being anything about their shitty movie.
