Wow, just wow.

Yep, look for beer glasses with "nucleation sites" etched on bottom, like these:

A nearly flat beer will do the same thing as your video if it’s in a dirty, scratched or etched bottom glass like @passedpawn and @VikeMan mention above. It isn’t necessarily a good thing nor a good indicator of the amount of carbonation in the beer, in fact it’s the CO2 escaping your beer that will eventually cause it to taste flat.

Well, the key to this is to drink it fast enough for it not to go flat...lol
I prefer to let that reaction happen in my mouth when I take a drink instead of in my glass.
Beer will also begin to do that naturally in the glass as the liquid begins to warm and more and more CO2 comes out of solution.
Like the others said, definitely from an etched bottom glass. I have a couple I keep for IPAs and other hoppy beers.
Do a search for "nucleated beer glasses." Those will make even a lightly-carbed beer look bubbly.
Dropping a few grains of salt into the beer will do it, too.
