If we exclude cultural differences, I think the most cringeworthy thing about this is its total misapprehension of the target audience. Of course, this includes assuming the entire crowd is male and loves nob gags; but if I was to have live music on for a bunch of developers, that is the last thing I would think of.

Enduring that travesty would be totally analogous to hitting up one of the UK's many tacky nightclubs that host an 'electro-house' (read: trance) night every Friday and have the same monotonic 'MC' drawling all over the track.

Maybe it's fine in Norway and they love that sort of thing, but I think it'd be very difficult to reconcile the developer and trance scenes elsewhere.
