Gaming skit transitions to product promo from @wantsandneedsbrand_

The creator starts with a first-person Minecraft gameplay sequence, showing a character falling from an impossibly high pillar through various game dimensions and even space, parodying the new "mace" weapon mechanic. The video then abruptly cuts to a real-life person landing on a plastic bin lid, revealing a skit. Finally, the person models a branded sweatsuit as a text overlay announces that the product has been restocked.
