I love the blatant reuse of the same bits. You can see the same person in yellow doing the same thing behind the drummer when the camera isolates him.

My brother loved mocking those guys back in the day.
Based on the video, I can only assume 'Black Betty' is some type of particularly insidious and crippling mind-altering drug, of which the band members and the video's director have all partaken freely before commencing filming.

Heh. It's actually a much older song, performed by Leadbelly among others.

I've seen the Roots work an uptempo version of it into their set.
