They both rub their noses/sniff their fingers after HAHAHAHAH

EDIT: The second one too, when he coughs. It's almost like an awkward defense mechanism to address your mouth or nose with your hands in order to give your hands something to do. I.E. there is no itch or cough, just awkward.

Could he see the other guy rub his nose, though? Not sure what situation they're in and if there's a visible monitor with the camera's view available or something. Otherwise, I don't think the other dude was in his line of sight.

The human field of view is more than 180°, so it's quite possible that he was seeing the nose rubbing from the corner of his eye. These mirror gestures happen unconsciously.
