Watching this makes me think I should have been able to work out how to cut a pineapple for myself. However, staring at the exterior of a pineapple, you end up thinking, "how the heck am I going to tackle that?"
I worked in a buffet restaurant and one job was to dice fresh pineapple. A couple of suggestions. Don't use a serrated knife. They will drift at an angle. Twist off the top, don't cut it. Cut lengthwise in half, then in quarters, then slice the core out of each quarter. That will leave a flat spot to further cut into eights. Then run the tip of your knife just deep enough to take off skin and eyes. At that point you can dice and leave in "boats" or make bulk dice. Minimum waste and maximum speed. With practice about 60 seconds to completely dice a pineapple.
Ripened pineapples are orange coloured. It is best to be eaten when they are ripened as that's when they are sweet. For the green ones, they are not ripe, yet edible. It is typically used in cooking.
Does anyone else find fresh pineapple blander tasting than tinned? It's not uncommon I guess, as tinned stuff is packed up straight away, not left hanging around.
If the fresh pineapples that you have tasted are the same ones he is cutting, then yes, it should be bland. Green pineapples are not ripe. The good, delicious ones should be orange in colour. Orange coloured pineapples signifies that it is ripened. They are way sweeter when they have turned orange.
