The very best of Google video

These are...
  • Videos that directly play in your web browser (if you have Adobe Flash installed).
  • Videos that I might want to watch a second time.
  • Videos that I think are worth inflicting on other people, without the risk of boring anyone too much
    (with the possible exception of the really long videos). None of them should be too offensive.
Google's video service has become unusable since they took over YouTube.
Their search results come from other sources, and the vast majority of new videos are inappropriate for this list.
There are not expected to be any further updates here, sorry!
