The most popular video-hosting site. Millions of users upload their videos on virtually any subject out there (although nudity is not allowed).
Each video can be rated and commented on, which is not a good idea at all. Most of the comments in almost ANY video consists of 12-year old kids with no spelling or grammar skills; 30+ year old pseudo-intellectuals who try to tell everyone else how they're right and the others are wrong; racists; or people who just like to pick fights for no reason. If for whatever reason you feel like losing a few brain cells and want to look at the comments, be prepared to see a lot of "noob", "faggot", "gay", "Republican/Democrat", or "nigger" being used.
Aside from the comments, Youtube used to be a decent place, until the following started happening:
1. WMG started deleting music videos and muting videos with ANY piece of audio by any of the music artists under their labels
2. Viacom sued Google, which Youtube is owned by, having them delete many videos of TV shows
3. The majority of the user base became 14-year old tween girls obsessed with Twilight and the Jonas Brothers
4. Fred became the most popular user. Seriously, that alone is reason to avoid this place like the black plague.
Now, there is almost nothing left worth watching on Youtube, except for maybe some Failblog videos, Youtube Poops, or music videos of bands NOT owned by WMG. And even these can be ruined just by looking at the comments. It can be the most non-provoking, non-violent, socially-acceptable video ever, and you'll still see someone flaming the holy hell out of someone, whether it be the author, or another commenter.

Common examples of instant Youtube sensations include the Star Wars kid, Crazy frog, Cadbury gorilla and recent eyebrow advert, Sarah Silverman's "fucked Matt Damon" sketch, etcetera. Basically any video that matches the definition.

The weird part of YouTube is typically an area full of video irrelevant to what you were originally watching. These videos would normally go untouched, but become popular when a significant amount of people follow of a chain of "related videos" into said area of YouTube. These videos usually have misleading titles and thumbnails, or are just plain... weird.
Since most people become confused when they somehow cross into the weird part of YouTube, they share the experience by commenting about it, usually to find that a great many of YouTubers have also reached this conclusion

"I was watching a video about Gary Coleman and 5 'related videos' later I got stuck in the weird part of Youtube."
"Somebody help me! I've been stuck in the weird part of Youtube for 5 days! I'm surrounded by deformed babies and old people!"
"Somehow I stumbled into the weird part of Youtube and I've never wanted to punch something so badly."

Get the The weird part of Youtube mug.An app that parents of young children download to let their kids watch Youtube. Basically, Karen thinks it’s “appropriate”, just wait until these kids get older and look back! It’s all a sign of crappy parenting.
Karen (and every other soccer mom): I don’t let MY little angels watch vulgar content. Thanks YouTube Kids!

Get the YouTube Kids mug.The comments that users can write under the videos on the website youtube. It sounds very creative and useful since it allows fairly anonymous users to comment on the video about their likes and dislikes. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the the comments seem to be from either idiots, people full of shit or people that are insane. The best examples of this are comments from people that haven't watched the video to the end, people that think that they know everything, people that haven't researched the topic or even know about the topic that the video discusses which is normally common with videos about anime characters, comic books or movies, people that are highly illiterate or are little children with too much free time on their hands, people that are insane, racist or are conspiracy theorists and people that are highly religious to the point where they think the end of the world is coming every other day.
What are your opinions on youtube comments?
They are from people that are stupid, full of shit, or are just plain nuts.
