In case anyone is wondering, it's a dude beating some drums with one hand and beating his meat with the other.

I listened to Jordan Jesse Go today, where they talk about the video and Jordan reacts to watching it for the first time. I think folks may be better off listening to the podcast over visiting the website.

I look forward to the lead guitar version, also.

Part of the humor it is that the few times you see full frontal male nudity in media, it is either pornographic or incidental. This is ... neither of those things.

I guess I don't get this.
As I understand it, there are basically two jokes:
1. Jerking off is rhythmic, so his dick is like another part of the drumset.
2. Drum solos are masturbatory. Ultimately self indulgent and only satisfying for the person performing them.

And I want to note here something that may not come through at first glance: he's not just sort of randomly stroking. Note the lack of a snare for most of the video. He's actually playing the snare part on his ol' Vic Firth Jumbo there. Attention to detail. This is a craft.

There are a few jokes going on here.
1. Male nudity, when not in an explicitly pornographic context, is kind of funny. I think it's almost a parody of Goatse and similar sites. It seems like it should be offensive, but it's too silly to be offensive.
2. The idea of masturbating to a beat is also kind of funny.
3. A parody of the crummy production values of instructional videos.
4. A parody of promotional sites for books and albums and the like. It's ostensibly advertising an album, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with that album.
The JJgo segment about it was pretty hilarious.

Best post I've seen in a while. Although it may be too nuanced for many. I'm serious about that. If anything, it wasn't quite deadpan enough, the joke about "practicing" was elbowed and we didn't quite need that final penile thump. I really wish they'd gone all the way and made it a full-length instructional video.

The making of podcast was quite good. It takes them a while to get to it though. They talk about having to get a porn magazine because they didn't have a computer to spare, and discuss what the market is for these magazines now.
Also, when the magazine wasn't sufficient, one of the crew loaned the star their iphone.
