That's Alvin. As much as I don't like yellow bamboo he was an ok guy and
invited me into his home. I hope he is still getting something out of it.

Well good buddy, that may have been your experience of him, and I
respect that...but to my mind, he's a lying asswipe, stealing money
from the gullible and vulnerable. Do you remember when we first met
him, and he was doing his spruik to the crowd about his career in
banking....gee, he said he ran a big hunk of a big Aussie bank?

Ah, the joke is YB claim that their 'force' is chi.
I find this clip no funnier than all the fall-down guys in all the chi-
master clips we've seen, which are of course hilarious.
The question therefore is, why don't you find *those* clips hilarious,
too?

How is this any different than seeing some old dude do a physics
parlor trick and assuming that he has chi powers? Or watching a well-
understood and well-established physiological process like the
"levitating arms" trick and assuming that chi must be involved? Or
some "master" who films himself pretending to throw students who are
obviously pratfalling for him? They look every bit as ridiculous as
this yellow bamboo schmuck.

Well simply put, if you don't get the joke by watching the video no
amount of explanation will make you laugh.
