I threw this together for the less savvy

  #!/bin/bash
  clear
  youtube-dl -U
  echo " "
  echo "YouTube Downloader Script"
  echo "A video file will be created in the folder where this script is located"
  echo " "
  echo "Please paste a URL and hit [ENTER]:"
  read URL
  youtube-dl $URL
Edit: youtube-dl -U only works if it was manually installed, so leave that out if you installed from apt or whatever

You can mark it execute on click.

Granted you still need to know how to cut and paste
