Yeah, I had to put my journalist voice on when I was typing up that stuff, and remain as unbiased as I can, but now that I can use my me voice I will tell you: OMG!!

When that video first came out, I rewatched it multiple times, because there is just SO MUCH THERE. Obviously, like you mentioned, the impersonation -- it tells a lot. The impersonations were very (accurate) and telling. She portrayed him as, basically, a jester, which he is (a lot of the time) publicly. But when it was his turn to do her: he decided to accentuate her sensuality to the point where his version of her comes off as flirty. And while for a lot of people (whether friends, siblings, or couples) those sort of impersonations would be a recipe for hard feelings and a fight, they end up smiling, conceding agreement with said impersonations, and then high-fiving.

And on that note: did you hear what Jennette was saying after "Jer" did his imperssonation? "Do me! Do me!" Jennette thinks so quickly; I would wager she realized the duplicity of her statement WHILE she was saying it. Normally, despite being a bit hilarious like him, she's actually really mature, but in that second, she sounded like any other excited teenage girl. Also, I think her eagerness was more because it meant something to her to hear him impersonate her, because she looks up to him for A) his sheer talent and B) his friendship. (I mean, saying other things about them is speculation, but no one can deny they are very close friends.)
