Why is YouTube so slow sometimes?

I´m doing household stuff,like doing the dishes, laundry etc. and have YouTube playing some nice playlists in the background but for some strange reason, it takes ages for the videos to build up and I have to go back to the computer all the time,which is a bit irritating.
What is the reason for this, why is YouTube so slow sometimes, and what can I do about it? Is it a computer related problem or is my connection too slow today or could it be that too many people are watching YouTube videos today?
Constantly going back to the computer is ruining my flow while doing the dishes !
I need HELP ! lol

youtube does that to everyone dont feel bad.
it's like a billion people on a very tiny server.
plus they are so in love with their copyright bullshit.

I think it is a combination of traffic, and that some videos are encoded with higher quality than others, so they take more memory to buffer before playing.
