So once you find a clip on YouTube that you like, you need the ability to grab the clip and save it to your hard drive. for this task I recommend using an application called Clip Converter http://www.clipconverter.cc/. This application is easy to use and very stable.
After you have the clip, you need to be able to step through it frame by frame, for this I recommend purchasing Quicktime Pro http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/. This is the best solution that I have found for viewing frame by frame, plus there are a number of other features in Quicktime Pro like file conversion and compression, looping, file trimming and a bunch of other stuff.
With these tools an animator can quickly get reference and use it to help nail down that action they are attempting with their characters.
