Is that an actual gif or one of those audio-less videos that many gif services have taken to using lately, due to their higher quality and smaller file sizes? (RIP gfycat)

I downloaded it many years ago when it was published (I can't find it now). It is an actual gif but it's very low res (and obviously it's 256 colours) and very large, some players will fail to load it, and you can give up on web players

You can find it here (reddit tho)

According to the OP there, it is an actual gif.

Oh, and it should be pronounced as /gi eɪ̯ ɛf/, as it's an abbreviation of Graphical Interface Frame or something.

I downloaded it. It's a 39 MB real GIF, 60 by 60 pixels at 10 fps. When I open it in MPV it's pretty much exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes long, and I can skip around to different parts including to the end credits. Looks legit to me.

Little proof vid (ironically 1/7th the size of the GIF).

Please provide the download link for the air headed and lazy.

The parent comment would be pronounced "ghee A eff". /g/ is the hard g of "gift", not the soft g of "gin" (which is /dʒ/). (second word pronounced like "hey" or "say" without their first letters, or "eight" without its last.)
