I’d say two things – firstly, it’s meant to be in the style of a bar-room player, who would be likely to do exactly the sort of flourish you describe. The other thing I’d say is that I’ve always preferred musicians with a sense of humour – it doesn’t mean that they’re clowns, but does mean that they’re much more appealing than those who think they’re the next Beethoven.

Now naturally it’s well done, and he’s soon back in the zone, but was it really necessary? Well perhaps only if you’re incapable of taking your own music seriously. And if the musician can’t take it seriously, even when playing, then might not others do the same…?
