This is a spoof of a series of commercials that Apple did...I think about the time Ipods first came out. It's a World of Warcraft-inspired video trying to convince people to switch from Alliance(the side that most people are on; humans, dwarves, gnomes, night elves) to Horde (orcs, undead, tauren, trolls).
WATCO switching from alliance to horde on your desirability as a character people need in groups?
Enthymeme: Switching from alliance to horde will increase your desirability as a character people need in groups because switching from a paladin to a shaman makes your all-around stats go up.
Logos: More than half of the "commercial" is about the problems with being a paladin. (Just as an FYI, you can only be a paladin on alliance and you can only be a shaman on the horde.) It points out the problems of being a paladin, such as everyone expecting you to be able to heal. It also points out the better attributes of shaman, such as totems.
Pathos: The entire thing is made up of jokes that are generally much more funny if you actually play World of Warcraft. None of the arguments are new; it's only the style in which they are presented that makes it interesting. Also, spoofing directly from a Apple commercial adds to their appeal, because it makes them memorable and gives them something to link to whenever they see an Apple commercial or hear this music they might think of these spoofs. I do, at least.
