Not really related to WA. But it's handy to know and something I'd never heard of before. I always used an add-on to the browser to do this. But there is a far simpler way.
SS
They are the magic letters. And all you need to be able to download any Youtube video
Take a Youtube video - e.g. this one which is a compilation of Superbowl ads : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPR3PB_VGVs

Now add the two letters between www. and youtube . . .
https://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=HPR3PB_VGVs
And away you go.
You'll be taken to a download page. Click the yellow download button.
You then see the options available for the video quality you want to use. Click the one you want and it's downloaded onto your PC. It'll probably be in a .mp4 format, so you know it's just a video file with no malicious adware or crapware.
Easy.
BUT . . there's always a catch.
Take care NOT to install the 'Ummy Video Downloader' that is offered. That's the sort of thing that will probably start messing with your computer.
