All the people posting Brady's [1] various channels (numberphile, sixtysymbols, etc) left out the best one: periodic videos. Not only is it interesting chemistry in the same format as numberphile/sixtysymbols, it also features the best mad-scientist HAIR on the planet [2].

Incredibly detailed and insightful discussion of games from a what you might call a sociological perspective. They speak both as a game designer and as a player. A special emphasis is given to showing how "games" are a type of art, enabling certain new kinds of expression.
I'll caution that I don't mean "game theory" (Nash Equilibrium, etc) - Extra Credits discusses things like "interactive experience" vs "passive reading/watching", how mechanics can be used as a storytelling medium,
industry issues, abusive (or just plain annoying) design choices, and theories such as the Uncanny Valley and the illusion of choice.
All packed into short ~5-6min, almost-animated, fun little videos.
