Search for Google on Google Video and Get ... Nonsense

Not sure what's going on here. I was, admittedly, wasting time a few minutes ago and decided to look for videos about Google on Google Video. The top 10 results (with personalized search turned off):

Not sure I understand those selections, save for the three videos that are obviously about Google. Nosferatu? Searching for YouTube is interesting, too. The results are culled from some of the most popular videos on the site, but none of them seem to have anything to do with the topic of YouTube. Just an example of how far video search has to go.

Below is "Google Factory Tour," in which Larry says "Users expect from Google that we give them the exact right thing every time."

Tim :

I was doing the exact same thing yesterday. I had to put a bunch of negatives in my search - i.e. -11, -911, -11th, etc. Even when you search by Label: google, you get a bunch of trash. I did find what I was looking for eventually.
