Could it be he turned terrorist wannabe because he felt rejected by society in general.

That's a common story actually. A lot of terror suspects that have been caught, or even carried out their acts, were fluent and on the surface relatively well-adjusted in the West; hell, many have been second-generation. Rejection is relative; surely it plays some role, but it is also known that extremist organizations often target young, well-adjusted, second-generation kids - as well as converts from non-traditional backgrounds for Muslims. I wouldn't underestimate propaganda aimed at radicalizing them.
On the other hand, it also doesn't hurt to make light of this. There's a lot of rhetoric aimed at dehumanizing terrorists and viewing them in a totally detached light. Meanwhile here is one of those terrible terrorist bogeymen, bungling his way through a silly audition. I think it's good to laugh at them every once in a while too.
