This was bad enough that I bothered to figure out how to fix it.

VLC -> Media -> Open Network Stream, paste in the youtube URL.

VLC -> Tools -> Effects and Filters -> Audio Effects -> Compressor.

Enable the compressor. Here's where I moved the sliders: http://i.imgur.com/fGlPM5R.png

The last 10 seconds of the video is the best way to verify it is working. Without compression, the clapping is ear-drum-splitting-loud compared to the speakers voice.
