I just found out if you type j when watching a YouTube video, it lapses back about 10-20 seconds, depending on the video, I think.
What are the keyboard shortcuts when using YouTube?

Simply pressing up does not work. I believe it does work if you press any combination of left/right and then up/down. Commented Jan 11, 2013 at 23:00
