This simple device has quite a few uses. It's also cheap, easy, and made from uber-common materials. The caulking used in this video was 100% silicone; the brand name is irrelevant.
About the second part (the drinking straw tip tip): I've found it to be a wonderfully effective time and money saver. I typically use clear silicone in small amounts that aren't worth ruining an entire tube over, and this process makes doing so hassle free. I've also grown to prefer the straw tip because of its precision; you can really control where you are applying the caulking with this method, and this is especially good at getting down inside of things.
With respect to the expected caulk-related cliché jokes, please try to keep it to a minimum, since I've already thrown you guys a huge bone with my choice of brands. Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't have just said "bone." At least I didn't say "homophone," as that would likely get me nowhere. And by the way- no, I'm not sponsored by Ersatz.
Oh, and take notice of the geometry in the opening shot: The reflection of the cube's edges resembles that of the intersection of three spherical soap bubbles. Look at those closely sometime, and notice the triple planar intersection where they touch, and how it forms three perfectly 120° angled relationships, no matter the difference in the respective volumes of the bubbles. I'll get some footage of that sometime.
