I don't like to wear headsets so, when it happens to me to look a YouTube video while wifey is sleeping, I usually activate the "captions".
If you never try them, you can turn them on clicking the small icon between the clock ("Watch later") and the gear ("Settings") in the lower right corner below the video.
Not everybody knows it's possible to edit the transcript of a video, so generally captions are created automatically by a software trying to convert spoken words (and often noises!) into text, and the results are very often really funny.
Strangely, the language with the best automatic transcription is Spanish, while English, Italian and French are full of oddities and nonsense.
Warning: dirty words are not uncommon.
So, if you want to have a good laugh, turn on the captions, and if you post a video, edit your transcript by hand before the whole Net laugh too loud at you!
