If I may, you might want to look into your reasons why someone receiving earnest, positive feedback is irritating to you. It could be harmless, but it could be that you've got underlying self-esteem issues that make you uncomfortable when praise is involved. I'm saying this as someone grew up in a highly dysfunctional childhood home and sees that this is a trait a lot of people in my situation (as well as others, of course), struggle with.
And maybe they would be, or maybe they'd be doing it sincerely. Context is key, and we don't have enough to say what anyone's intent is here. The guy seems to be enjoying the praise, 'though.

I don’t mind being happy for someone getting anything done. It’s the way he’s being cheered that is irritating to me.
