buffer monster


when loading a video on the internet, this is the figurative monster that prevents you from seeing the entire video as one smooth video. this occurs when your progress in a video “catches up” with the part not yet loaded/buffered and the video is prevented from progressing until the next part loads/buffers.

usually, the buffer monster gets you when you least expect it to or at the most inconvenient time of the video. most common forms include the spinning circles, the “dot-dot-dot,” and the growing and/or glowing bars. (note: the buffer monster can also sometimes be invisible.)

to avoid the buffer monster:
1. let the entire video load before pushing play.
2. get a faster computer and/or internet connection.
“this next part of the video is amaz–dammit! it’s still loading.”
“haha, yeah…the buffer monster got you!”
“shut up, todd.”
