What does "Funny guy, I know." mean in the video?
 
I think (hope) he's using the phrase sarcastically, or as a bit of self deprecating humor. I sure didn't find it at all humorous. I'm not even completely sure what he's suggesting is the funny bit.
 
I think the joke is that he says 'a' means 'one', and since one is a number, that's why he wrote a/number on the board. His shrug and comment show that he knows it's a poor joke.
