The videos are made like that in order to get passengers to watch them - you want the instructions to be followed or not?
But you're assuming that people watch them for the message; basic observation and listening skills will inform that people are watching the celebs, not the briefing. High attention, but potentially low recall when it is most needed.
You might like the Chabuddy G video, it's your perrogative, but having watched the original and the newer version well into three figures, it grates and feels like 60 minutes, not 6. Ryanair get the message across in about 90 seconds with an audio only track.
