I saw an interesting video today showing laminar flow, I want to understand how this happens but everything I looked up was too complicated for me.

It just means that vast majority of the fluid in a flow is moving in the same direction. It will generally happen in short distances, with lower velocities, and smaller pipe diameters. Those factors contribute to what is called a Reynolds number, assuming the isn’t an obsticle top obstruct flow. Lower values will give more laminar flow.
