So at 2:10, Homeomorphically means you CAN'T rotate and reflect?

He states their the same picture, that you can "move them around" but then 'BANNED' flashes up and now I can't remember what my name is or where I live!

Reflections and rotations are homeomorphisms. However, if you want things that are homeomorphically irreducible, then you want them to be fundamentally different, and not just the same thing turned or flipped around.
