You can technically make money off anything you upload to a site where you agree to have advertisements in your video and can be paid in CPMs (a rate of cash, usually mere cents paid to you for every thousand viewers or so, i.e. cost per mille, or cost per thousand "impressions" or views), as far as I understand from a thatguywiththeglasses panel I watched in college. It takes a lot of viewers for that to net you any sort of income, if you've opted for ads to be run on your videos (at least I think you can opt in or out).
It was part of a paper I wrote for my Advanced TV Techniques class, but I don't have that paper in front of me, and that was a year ago, so some of that info could easily be a bit off, but that's what I remember being the case. Yargz and some other people could probably tell you better, since they actually do Let's Plays.
