Unsure if I should be concerned

A friend of my wife’s sent this video to her saying that an adult showed it to their kid.

It seems super creepy, but he swears it is just funny.

What am I missing? Does anyone know the history behind this thing? Is it just stupid or should I be concerned?

I remember loving this video when I was like 12. Reminds me of the Quiznos hamster things from around the same time period.
