The videos are made like that in order to get passengers to watch them - you want the instructions to be followed or not?
I agree it was amusing the first few times. But if you are a frequent flier, it is far too long due to all the humour added. A safety briefing should be as short and as brief, covering only the essentials. Otherwise the important stuff is diluted.
As for the NZ couple. They ignored a flight crew instruction, which is illegal. Bye bye...
