uh, never thought about that 
Here's what I think about other languages
Albanian: I don't know what to say about this. It doesn't sound weird at all, but nothing special. Just a language.
Greek: It would be THE BEST language ever, the language of heaven if it wasn't for too much of the letter s. :/
Russian: When I was a kid, I hated Russian like hell!! I thought it was so rough, but now it sounds really good to me(especially in songs!). Still I feel like they have no vowels.
Romanian: It sounds so Slavic to me and I think they use "sh" a bit too much. In addition, they speak very fast.
Swedish/Danish/Norwegian: They sound like singing rather than speaking.
Finnish/Estonian: These languages are... MAGICAL! I simply love how they sound! How can a language be rough and sweet at the same time!!
Italian: This language is also magical, it sounds flawless. If I said Italian swear words to my friends they would say "thank you!"
German: It's so hard to say something about German. It's undeniable that it's rough, but that's what makes it special. Moreover, after some time you get used to it.
Portugese: As I see I'm the only one in the forum to hate Portugese. I hate how it sounds, I can't stand hearing the 2010 Portugese entry. No offence. ^^ Portugese people are awesome.
Spanish: It's just OK for me. I don't love it, I don't hate it. Maybe I'm a bit too used to hearing it.
Arabic: Words are incapable of expressing how much I hate this language. I can stand the Egyptian accent, but can't even stand hearing other accents. In contrast, its grammar is WONDERFUL!
Hebrew: I hated this language with a burning passion at first. I thought it was the worst language ever along with Arabic and now unbelievably it's one of my favourite languages! Now the ch and sh don't annoy me at all!
Let's go eastward!
Georgian: I have friends who speak the Laz language which is from the same language family as Georgian, but I still find Georgian weird. It's just too... alienish. :/
Armenian: It sounds a bit rough but it's nice in songs.
Mongolian: This language drives me crazy!! It's like they're speaking Turkish but I can't understand it.

Really? Perhaps like Greek with Portuguese accent?
I hear nasal tones so it reminded me of Portuguese, don't know if it's because of the video
.Anyway, it's a nice language (variant).

He talks really fast
Is the dialect like that or he is just doing it on purpose to be fun?
Actually, it doesn't sound Greek to me, it sounds more like Portuguese

I think he speaks with the typical Nicosia accent!

Btw, I was looking to find a video from any Cypriot tv series, here is a sample:
It was a very silly tv series, but you can hear a dialogue in Cypriot Greek!
And here is another one, a comedy series (most successful Cypriot series ever actually!)

I like the Cypriot TV-series more than Greek! But we have to admit that they are of low cost...
Cypriot tv-series are of higher cost than the most Greek ones! How can you explain that the half Greek actors came to Cyprus in the past 2 years to participate if they were not paid well? You walk in Nicosia, and you see in front of you Iosif Marinakis, Giannis Tsimitselis, Natalia Dragoumi, Giorgos Ninios and others too... Some years ago it was near to impossible to have them here!
But as regards quality, I certainly prefer the Greek tv series. From Cypriot tv series, only 2-3 of them were good. The rest were crap and the same stories all the time!
For me, Greek & Cypriot TV-series are awful (also the "actors and actresses") but I prefer the Cypriot TV-series more. Now for all that persons that you mentioned, in case of their acting, they are worse even from my neighborhood's grocer!
