Why it worked
The video uses a popular meme format ('WASTED' screen from Grand Theft Auto) combined with the anticipation of a highly anticipated game release (GTA VI) to create a humorous and relatable piece of content that taps into gaming culture.
Summary
The video shows someone walking through a JB Hi-Fi store, presumably to pre-order Grand Theft Auto VI. The video ends with a "WASTED" screen, mimicking a game over state.

Product placement
GTA VI (Grand Theft Auto VI): Acts - it is the video game being pre-ordered. Removing it would change the video's entire purpose. JB Hi-Fi: Acts - it is the store where the pre-order is happening. Removing it would change the video's context. Paramount Pictures: Appears - it is a logo on the creator's jacket. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Xbox: Appears - it is a logo on a product display. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
