This video is called Video Game President. The reason that I know that the video is not serious, is because there is no such thing as a video game president. That and because some topics discussed in the video, simply do not exist and can not occur. It begins making fun of Herman Cain and certain policies he's proposes. The voice in the video makes the scene dramatic, and then calls Herman Cain a Socialist after launching a series of claims against him. Then the sponsoring candidate popes up. He says that he supports 2nd amendment and thing such as that. Then he adds that he will protect video game rights. The man calls himself Chit Cramney, which is a knock off of Mitt Romney. The name mocks Senator Romney. "Chit Cramney" starts off with something simple such as border security, free speech, etc.. Then he exaggerates the statements by adding a comment about video games in after it. Presenting thoughts in this way appeals to the audience that are gamers, and they won't get called out for making political comments, knowing that they are a comedy company. Also just coming out and saying things might make them lose supporters. This is how I know that this video has irony, how, and why the people use it in the video.
