Sure, i found it mildly amusing. I have no idea who the chap is, but he is likeable and funny. Sadly I had trouble understanding everything he said and some of his references escaped me completely. Lord knows how passengers without a robust command of English, and knowledge of American culture, connect to this.
I can see my interest piqued by the first showing, but I'll be getting heeby-jeebies by the Xth time. Cabin crew get fed up of hearing it too and, and (at least those i know) prefer a direct, manual presentation. That type of presentation ver in a couple of minutes, versus four times that - and it concentrates on safety rather than humour that must mystify an awful lot of passengers.
