It doesn't seem to have been uploaded on Youtube, so there you go with a Facebook link:

The music in the first part of the ad made me think of the theme song for Friends.

Why are they holding a mixture of actual cards and randomizers in their hands?

I guess it has to with drinking too much.

The video is indeed weird. But the promoted thing, a German-Austrian Dominion Championship 2019, actually sounds kind of fun. Players are required to represent one state (16 in Germany, 3 in Austria), and the best 4 players from each state will be invited to the final tournament.
Guess I want to take part now.  ???

That playing up the game by having people laugh along as they play would work better if Dominion wasn't so themeless and abstract compared to other games. There isn't even a dice bubble or anything!

Yeah, I already saw it on their facebook wall and was mocking how "accurate" it depicts my boardgame evenings. Because every time I buy a Village, I get incredibly excited about it and show it to the other players so they can see my awesome achievement. And if somebody plays a Militia, my joy knows no bounds.

"What? A PROVINCE? Oh man, that's INCREDIBLE! Ha ha ha ha!" *clink*

You can see the people in the video have absolutely no idea how you play Dominion. If you claim to be happy about something you don't know about, who's gonna believe you? Maybe reveal a Moat and smile about that instead of Village, Lady?

Yeah and maybe don't use the randomizers for playing.

Wait, what? Are you telling me you don't use those? Why are they even there, then? It's even there in the rulebook (translation by me): "Use the randomizers as the bottom card of each kingdom pile. If somebody buys this 11th card, other players will be able to see which card they hold in hand. This matters for cards like Gardens."

I think I saw that lady take the Village into her hand after buying/gaining it. Has she been playing too much Nocturne?

I saw it too, after Awaclus pointed it out. If you ever were in foubt they might actually know the game, this gives it away.

I have to admit, this is the best video advertisement for a card game that I've ever seen.

As with most ads, the majority of it has nothing to do with the thing its advertising.  But since I don't speak German, I don't know whether the narrator is talking about Dominion or beer.

Why are you guys trash talking them so much? They clearly know some advanced strategy, since chainmail guy bought a Villa (because how else would you play an Action card after Treasures).

He is (and take this in a positive light Skumpy) eccentric, flamboyant and excessive at times. His posts are ones that cause people to look at him and say "huh?"

Even if the format might look a bit weird, I think it's super cool that something like that is going on.

That one guy played a Mine after playing his Treasures.

They play with the old rules where trashing was not optional and he needs the Mine to activate his Conspirator but does not want to trash coppers because of Well. 
So he played the coppers, bought Villa, played Mine (with +Action token) and will now play the Villa and Conspirator to activate his mega turn.

Edit: Added Quote for clarity because my post is on a new page
