Pretty cool. Looks like they are jacking the flash feed from a google server and then using their own skin for playback. Not sure about the legality of that, and I would wager that at a minimum it pisses google off, but still pretty neat.

You could make your own version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 with that...

That was my thought as well. Unfortunately I couldn't find any examples of it, but would be easy enough to do, and hilarious if executed well.
