We’ve got the Plaid Cymru video that was so bad they deleted it – and it’s glorious
A video by Plaid Cymru went viral but not for the reasons they would have hoped. So much scorn was heaped on the 60-second promo for Adam Price, the party’s newly elected leader and Wales’ ‘future first minister’ that they deleted it.
Fortunately for us, Matthew Champion kept it, and it’s glorious. (Don’t forget to turn the sound up).
Plaid Cymru deleted this video but I think it's brilliant… as a trailer to a gritty 90s detective show set in Carmarthenshire pic.twitter.com/kQ9yhC1HEo

Someone made a slight tweak and it’s even better.
I made a small change to the Plaid Cymru vid. I'm not saying it's an improvement but I think it works. pic.twitter.com/5nktBWEsZ8

Here’s a few of the comments it generated (before – and after – Plaid Cymru hit ‘delete’).
I want to do jokes about the Plaid video but it's too good, I actually can't stop laughing and I am grateful for it landing on a Friday

Brilliantly bad. At one point you start to wonder where he's walking, and then you realise he has a newspaper so he must be on the way back from the shops. https://t.co/9Mh3AmA9Dd

Plaid have just deleted their very memorable PPB of Adam Price looking like a provincial TV detective.

Plaid Cymru have very rudely deleted the video that was twitter’s only source of joy today. Boo, guys. Boo.

I see Plaid's new video lasted all of 10 minutes. Sensational.
