I think that video does about as good a job as is humanly possible in capturing the essence of the Trachentburg Family Slideshow Players in a video, but even so, you really have to see them live for the full effect. In the video, they come off as amusing but nothing special; seen live, they're fantastic.
(In case you don't want to click on the link to their website, their gimmick is that they go to yard sales and buy old family slide collections, and then make up rock songs about the slides, which they project while they're singing.)
