This is correct syntax for insert() method:

DB::table('videos')->insert([
         'video_id'       => $videos[$i]->title,
         'url'            => $videos[$i]->url,
         'default_thumb'  => $videos[$i]->default_thumb,
         'thumb'          => $videos[$i]->thumb,
         'publish_date'   => $videos[$i]->publish_date,
         'tags'           => $videos[$i]->tags
    ]);
