Many videos seem to have completely arbitrary thumbnails which are not from the video. Most of the Epic Rap Battles videos, for example.

Perhaps this option 'unlocks' after you reach a certain subscriber count.

As mentioned upthread:

> partnered accounts are allowed to upload custom thumbnails (which can be any image, not necessarily even a screenshot from the video).
