Why it worked
The video likely worked by using a humorous and unexpected comparison between a popular sport (football) and a popular subculture (anime). The relatable question about fashion choices, combined with the visual gag of anime characters imitating footballers, created a shareable and engaging piece of content.
Summary
The video juxtaposes images of footballers wearing long socks with anime characters also wearing similar socks. It humorously suggests that people imitate footballers' fashion choices by wearing long socks, referencing anime characters as the ones being imitated.
