You should see something like this instead:

% youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xuubjIrYkc"
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] 6xuubjIrYkc: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] 6xuubjIrYkc: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] 6xuubjIrYkc: Extracting video information

...
and so on.
