Re: Duck and Cover with Bert the Turtle
Rather surprised that it was only now that this surfaced. If anyone wants HQ versions of the clip, archive.org has it in a bunch of formats:

Re: Penn and Teller: Intelligent Design
If any of you have an hour to spare, you can watch Catholic biologist Kenneth Miller as he tears open a new asshole on Intelligent Design and the Discovery Institute here.

He was one one of the witnesses in the Kitzmiller trial.

Re: Olbermann: Free Speech
First, when a City shall be as it were besieged and blocked about, her navigable river infested, inroads and incursions round, defiance and battle oft rumoured to be marching up evening to her walls, and suburb trenches, that then the people, or the greater part, more then at other times, wholly taken up with the study of highest and most important matters to be reformed, should be disputing, reasoning, reading, inventing, discoursing, even to a rarity, and admiration, things not before discoursed or written of, argues first a singular good will, contentedness and confidence in your prudent foresight, and safe government, Lords and Commons; and from thence derives it self to a gallant bravery and well grounded contempt of their enemies, as if there were no small number of as great spirits among us. [...] Next it is a lively and cheerful presage of our happy success and victory. For as in a body, when the blood is fresh, the spirits pure and vigorous, not only to vital, but to rational faculties, and those in the acutest, and the pertest operations of wit and subtlety, it argues in what good plight and constitution the body is, so when the cheerfulness of the people is so sprightly up, as that it has not only wherewith to guard well its own freedom and safety, but to spare, and to bestow upon the solidest and sublimest points of controversy, and new invention, it betokens us not degenerated, nor drooping to a fatal decay, but casting off the old and wrinkled skin of corruption to outlive these pangs and wax young again, entring the glorious ways of Truth and prosperous virtue destined to become great and honourable in these latter ages.
[...]
And though all the winds of doctrine were let loose to play on the earth, so Truth be in the field, we do injuriously by licensing and prohibiting misdoubt her strength. Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse in a free and open encounter?
- John Milton, Areopagitica

Re: Murloc
Buzzed through this one pretty quckly using the following setup:
For Fury, Only get Heroic Strike on the Left Column, then aim for Adrenaline Rush ASAP. Prior to getting Adrenaline Rush, Cold Blood followed by Heroic Strike helps to move things along relatively quickly. After you get AR, you can pull off at least 4 of these combos, and one regular Cold Blood strike. I didn't find anything particularly helpful in the Magic talents, except maybe for having the armour upgrade.
I finished everything at level eleven, but I'd say you get get all the useful talents after six level ups.

Re: What is Love Compilation
That one does seem out of place. Though Katamari Damacy isn't the only game there, it lacks a distinct audio mash-up that characterizes the rest of them.

Re: Robot Chicken
Here's the non-IE method I found posted on a forum:
First of all, check the source of the page. I'm using the first link I saw above this.
This One:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5175441951317283851
Find the location of the flash file.
/googleplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideoplayback%3Fid%3Ddab88aaa11364c51%26begin%3D0%26len%3D166632%26itag%3D5%26docid%3D-5175441951317283851%26urlcreated%3D1128410266%26sigh%3Df3IxVF825IKjlAhrAejuFpI0tU0&autoPlay=true
Cut out all of the beginning part and the end bit, so you have this:
http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideoplayback%3Fid%3Ddab88aaa11364c51%26begin%3D0%26len%3D166632%26itag%3D5%26docid%3D-5175441951317283851%26urlcreated%3D1128410266%26sigh%3Df3IxVF825IKjlAhrAejuFpI0tU0
Replace all of those %hexvalue things with the actual character they represent, so that becomes this:
http://vp.video.google.com/videoplayback?id=dab88aaa11364c51&begin=0&len=166632&itag=5&docid=-5175441951317283851&urlcreated=1128410266&sigh=f3IxVF825IKjlAhrAejuFpI0tU0

There's probably some more stuff on the end you could take out, but this'll do. Go to that address, you'll download a file with no extension. That's a Flash Video File. Convert it to an actual usable video file by downloading the (free) Riva FLV Encoder. Install that.
Add the extension ".flv" to the video file, then browse for it in the input section of the Riva Encoder, then change the extension of the destination video file to .avi or .mov.
Hit encode.

Re: Robot Chicken
There's a more complicated way, but for these clips, I use IE and load up the video (helps if you clear your cache first). Then dig into your Temporary Internet Files, and take out the file with the largest file size. If it's not labeled properly, rename it as a flv file. Then you can watch it with an FLV player, or use RivaFLVencoder to change it to a more orthodox format.
