As I understand it if you have Fred Flintstone in your title it is still a good idea to put "Fred Flintstone" in the tags. This would let someone click on "Fred Flintstone" in your tags and then see all the other videos with that tag rather than doing a search.

I don't have a problem with a funny tag as long as it doesn't replace a useful one. A tag like "you, have, to, see, this, to, believe, it" should not be used as it's pretty much useless.

This is a research I did some time ago:
http://www.videosift.com/talk/Video-tag-cloud-a-quantitativequalitative-reseach
The noise is negligable all together, but I think in general one ought to try to add tags concerning..
1-credits (e.g. beerdude367, The Acid Radio)
2-when and where produced (e.g. 00s, 2007, madagascar)
3-important keywords that are not in the channel name (e.g. youtube, fire, explosion, romance)
