I think you need to be a cellist and be familiar with the all the musicians he's imitating to actually get the comedy behind it, else its a peculiar looking man with a dodgy haircut doing manic things with a cello!
I'm sure if you're the right sort of person its hilarious though!

I like the goofball appeal of the fellow.
But since I'm no musician, and especially no Cellist, I don't get the references, (but I kind of get the joke...).

You don't really need to be a cellist to get the joke, especially if you've seen videos of these people performing. :p I was amazed at how he got each one right. xD

Well, I must admit, I didn't recognise any of the names mentioned, although I don't watch an awful lot (read: virtually none) of classical performances, so I had nothing to relate it to. If you could link us to a few videos of the people he is imitating though, which highlight their particular nuances, that would be awesome!

Although I'm not familiar with most of the cellists, I thought that was really funny. I especially like the Yo-Yo Ma imitation, it was pretty spot on.

Hahaha, yeah, I don't know Cello much, but this was still funny. It's like if you gave Jim Carrey a Cello.
