I have friends who are more heavily into YouTube than I am, but I've certainly enjoyed my share of videos there. As with television, internet videos can be funny, educational, entertaining, thought-provoking, or total garbage.
I've been referred to goofy and mildly amusing videos there, and have also watched documentaries and educational programs, including some videos recommended for classes. I think there's certainly plenty of good stuff there, but I generally wait to hear about it from others since I find trying to sift through the mountains of random junk a little overwhelming.
I understand that there's a social networking aspect to YouTube, since you can befriend other members, subscribe to their videos, check out what other people are watching, share videos with friends, etc., but, again, lack of time to explore has limited my use of this feature.
I mostly rely on out-of-site social networking, otherwise known as people I know who specifically send me links, or finding videos linked on (or embedded in) blogs.
Here's my attempt at embedding a video (Sesame Street!):
