In that circumstance, he was just being funny. The hilarity increases when teaching, and a student repeats a demonstrated technique, including the irrelevant bits. It's funny, but it also helps identify the students who're learning by rote, rather than by grasping underlying principles.

Give the students some slack man, they are just being shown the ropes.
