The reason I think this video is so great is because it hits right on the head on so many little instances that make the electronic music scene ridiculous.
First, you have the exagerated "performing" that so many DJ's and many livePA acts do.
Second, I think it has the obligatory "knob twisting" which for whatever reason just comes off as hilarious in any LivePA video.
