I thought ethanol boosts octane, so you get less knock not more.

I think the reason he refers to it as crap isn't due to the octane rating. All things the same E85 will run leaner than regular gas. I saw a video where they were talking about the differences and the E85 needed roughly 30% more fuel to be happy.
