There is really just one thing I think a Christian should take from this clip: whatever bit of faith you have is a gift of immeasurable value. God has given you something no one can ever earn or achieve, and you should thank Him relentlessly for it.

Another reason why this is bad is that it distracts from one of the most profound spiritual gifts of the sacrament, which is the revelation that sin is boring. All the little salacious details aren't "juicy" or w/e, they're trifling. Sin isn't unserious, but it is uninteresting.
