The video is worth just for his expression at 1:07. Highly recommended. Have no interest in the topic and watched the whole thing!

For those who don't know, it's a reference to Technology Connections[0], another incredible YouTube channel. Alec, the host, is very fond of that bit[1].

It’s short, it’s snappy, and it’s only deployed appropriately (by Alec, and by Steve here), so it stays fresh and not overdone.

And other similarly nice recurring gag is Tasting History’s hardtack.
