Google Is Making It So You Can Search Key Moments in YouTube Videos

Oh, being able to index stand-up clips or any sort of comedy video, whether it be a sketch, short film, (especially) a panel discussion/video podcast seems like it will be quite handy and, perhaps, open up a whole new audience and accompanying accessibility to comedy content. 

On the flip side, it’d be wonderful to find, you know, a specific joke, scene that really resonates (and perhaps share it with others to increase the visibility of someone’s stand-up, sketch comedy, etc.)

This functionality is available to all YouTube creators that have added timestamps to their video description.

Having a clean, simple, faceless interface to literally type anything you wish to query is part of why we Google anything our hearts, minds, and other parts wish to Google.

Making that process into something more akin to asking a librarian is such an awkward experience that it has helped make College Humor’s If Google Was a Guy starring Brian Huskey one of their best series.

Watch the latest episode here.

College Humor does a third installment of “if Google was a guy” with Brian Huskey as the “guy” and shows that interacting with Siri is just as frustrating on Google’s end as it is ours. Also, Google as a person must have a high tolerance for being aggravated.

Watch it here.

College Humor shows us why we should be glad that we’re asking the non-sentient, sans human body Google all the questions that we ask Google.

Basically, you’d get a real judgmental look from the guy you’re asking 24/7/365. Watch the clip here.

Google Planning To Put YouTube Into Cars

The plan for web video watching while driving is a scary prospect considering that so many great web series could be the cause of car accidents. Luckily, with this technology unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the driver can only watch YouTube through the car’s system while in park (that’s not to say you can’t still watch it on your phone).

In theory, coupled with hands free cars also from Google, that you’ll be able to watch something like Bo Burnham’s special what. while you’re in traffic (have you watched what. yet? It’s fantastic)
