He sounds very professional about inane stuff, I think the scene is set up to provide irony.
It reminds me of American Psycho (II) where the guy had this strange obsession with Huey Lewis and the News. I've seen APII with my cousin, because he's into to those slasher movies, (I don't care for them) and I came away just hating Huey Lewis from that one scene, I still have to look over my should when I hear a song by Huey Lewis and the News.

That's problem I have with the monologue - to some people, it turned Phil Collins into a joke. I've tried to discuss his music online and have had people disrupt the conversation with the Bateman quote.
