"Wat" at the start really turned me off. I realize that was probably (?) part of the shtick, but it's one misspelling in particular that really drives me nuts. Real hacker humor is fairly dry (the story about magic comes to mind); this felt more like script kiddie-level humor. I can see valid points (and humor) raised with the Ruby interpreter, but the delivery could have been better--at least more adult-ish.

I managed about halfway through. I did have the audio turned off, so I'm assuming I missed out on some of the redeeming qualities it may have had. Given the liberal usage of "wat" throughout what I did watch, I suspect that my gut feel is likely correct.
