The video service linked from what may be one of the (or the) most popular homepage in the world, Google, is showing the same old recommended videos (at least to me) since a long time now. http://video.google.com
Is this a polite way to tell us to go to YouTube if we're looking for funny videos?

(On a side-note, Google Video is currently down for me, which is really rare... other sites, including other Google sites, work as usual...)
[Update: And it's back live...]

This is my view on it, it may be in correct though. I don't like the recommendation feature on Google Video, unlike the Just For You on iTunes Store GVideo shows you clips related to what you already watch. You will never get any different clips added to the recommendations list because you don't branch out (same critera, same recommendations).

You should click on those videos or at least select "Not interested" (http://video.google.com/recommendations) to make them disappear. The homepage shows the top videos and the new recommendations are added to the bottom.

I clicked on those videos before actually. Possibly, I wasn't logged in though, but that happens, people switch computers and are at friends etc.... I think it should automatically switch them...
And if I click "not interested" it's wrong too, because the video itself might have been good and I don't want Google's system to have a flag that I don't like it... I just don't like to see it all the time! :)

Have you tried other browsers, computers etc., clearing cookies? If your behind a router with a dynamic IP turn it of and on. They're obvious, I know but just in case
