The "mouth pop" Rosen performs is a signature move that has become as iconic as the word "nice" itself. It is often sampled by musicians and sound designers for its clean, percussive quality.
The title "nice.avi" refers to the common practice in the early-to-mid 2000s of naming downloaded video files with the .avi extension. It became a shorthand way to refer to the specific 2-second segment of the poem. Meme Evolution
