Tutoyer - can it be used to be funny?

I was watching a short youtube video in which, if I understood the gist of it, a bilingual gentleman was giving students advice in how to translate.  I thought I heard him address his audience repeatedly by 'tu'. I don't know if it was a tongue in cheek humour or was he being unusually familiar, The video was here:

Merci.
