That's too epic. Next time I pick up a cup, I'm just going to study it from different angles for a while to confuse people around me.

This is terrific!

An intelligent person proves one doesn't have to be an idiot just because he's got a microphone! Refreshingly amusing.

I agree that he isn't coming off as pretentious in this video, but while I love Ubu and The Modern Dance might be my favorite record ever, he does come off as such elsewhere (in other interviews). Read some of the interviews on Ubu's website, he unfortunately does come off as pretty pretentious, which is a shame. Still like him though.
