Thats just the dumbest thing ever, Just to know 9x4? wtf? Here is a better way to do it, for the 9 times table: You place your open hands in front of you and for example 9x4 you count the forth finger and you put it down, then you just count the fingers on the right (3) and the fingers on the left (6) = 36, you are welcome!

This is not really a computational technique, it is a method for memorization. Associating numbers with images and situations can probably help a lot of kids with their times tables. It's kinda weird, but I see what he's going for here.

It's a joke. It's meant to be funny because the method is very convoluted.

This video isn't on BOYT because it's a new and wonderful way of doing math. That would be "science". Instead, it's under "wtf". At least try to understand why the video is here before voting :)
