I agree: astonishingly unfunny.
Now this is funny: sign language explained in English.

Maybe it would be funny if I/we had any idea what “ventrilo” is.
I admit posting ventrilo humor to a forum where the average user is on the verge of collecting SS may have been foolish on my part.

No. The two? girls are voice chatting using Ventrilo and someone breaks in and is only replying in movie clips (ETA: The girls do not seem aware at first that they are only movie clips. They are the butt of the joke, not a party to it.) It’s essentially a crank call, only via computer server.
I think the caller is using a “soundboard” which is basically a Flash file featuring various quotes from a movie or TV show. I have to disagree with all of those who didn’t like it- I thought it was like a “Who’s on First?”- type thing- I could predict (and laughed at) each use of “I’m Maverick” and “That’s classified” and the whole Highway to the Danger Zone “Chad Chad” thing was funny.

Now it starts to make a bit more sense. Is it safe to assume that the original exchange was audio-only, and that somebody has turned it into a video after the fact? (The “subtitles” of the girls’ words would seem to be evidence for this idea.)
As presented, it simply looks like a very poorly-edited string of clips from Top Gun interspersed with comments, as if attempting to artificially create a “conversation” out of sound bytes. That would be similar to a comedy bit I heard on the radio way back when I was a pre-teen/early teen. The premise of that bit was that a reporter was attending a national political convention and interviewing attendees; the reporter asked serious questions, and all the replies came in the form of snippets of popular songs. The only part I remember is this:
Reporter: “So tell me, which candidate to you support?”
Reply: “My mama told me that you better shop around.” (Captain & Tennille clip)
Heh. I’ve got a good 25 years to go before I can collect 
Your only mistake was in assuming everyone would know what Ventrilo is. I just investigated a bit and found the Web site, and now I know that it’s an implementation of Voice over IP. It makes sense that I wouldn’t know about it — I avoid even talking on the telephone as much as I can. But now I at least understand the joke.

I should confess that I didn’t watch the whole thing the first time. I watched a couple minutes and said “WTF?” Once I got an explanation I went back and watched the whole thing, and I’ll admit it was somewhat amusing. I’d compare it to those annoying chatroom spammers back when I used to hang out in the GeoCities chat rooms - the strangers who’d come into the room and fill the screen with ALL CAPS NONSENSE, making actual conversation next to impossible.
