Nice idea. However, for me it's currently too slow to be really usable (sorry!). Just goes to show how amazing Google Instant is, I think.
Update: it works much, much better (faster) now - good job.
Kudos. This is great. The only thing I'd like to see is a row of, say 5, related videos just in case the first isn't exactly what I want.
Can you extend it to show other results below, too? Right now - as fun as it is - it seems more like YouTubeRoulette. (Yes, I'm in a pedantic mood today ;o) )

Cool. Would be better if it had a list of thumbnails to choose a different video.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm curious: how do you get around crossdomain XHR limitations using tags? Thanks!
tags aren't subject to cross-domain restrictions. Think about it - all those website statistics scripts are hosted on external servers, but their Javascript gets executed just fine. By dynamically inserting tags into the page, you can force Javascript from another domain to execute in your domain.
JQuery's $.ajax API handles it automatically for you too (if you use the 'jsonp' or 'script' dataType options), which is very nice.
I like the minimal interface. This website is perfect. Your getting something unexpected stumbleupon style, but you are controlling the seed of randomness, making it more interactive and game like. The funnest thing is entering random letters\nonwords. For example "rowlz".
It would be great if there was a stumble button that proceeded to next random video. I always thought there should be a stumble upon for video.
