He's the chairman of the Federal Reserve. So pretty much, when he says "Interest rates hereby go down", they do. On the other hand, he says "OMG, watch out, recession", people start jumping out of buildings because the market does whatever he says.
But exactly! The suprise was the best part, because who stands there and goes "Hey, let's make a joke about the Federal Reserve!"
