After watching this video, I would have to say that the creator of the thing was trying to make fun of Nickelback fans. The main piece of evidence of this is at the end, in the credits, it says “Thanks Nickelback for taking the hit on this one!” But it also contradicts itself because at the top of the credit slide, it says “Nickelback rules.” I truthfully don’t think any of the Nickelback love in this particular video was truthful mainly because everything the guy said sounded staged and seemed like he had just memorized something someone wrote for him. If the creator’s intention was to make fun of Nickelback fans, I think this video fits pretty well but at times, sends a confusing message to the audience. I think they should have either made the video more extreme in terms of identity/fandom, or they could have just straight-up made fun of the fans.
This video is the definition of sarcasm. From what I interpreted from the video, none of the things he said was true. Based on the Nickelback stereotype too, he doesn't fit. aka this:

Everyone in the comments assumed he was joking, just as I did, and I think the way he conveys his feelings for Nickelback is good too because it's basically a 5 and a half minute rip on them. I did, however, 'lol' when he said NickelMac. I think a joke like that spawned the idea for this video, upon the other jokes said. Him and a group of his friends probably rip on Nickelback all the time. I mean, I do the same thing.. but with Creed. Because they are the best band ever. Now I'm rambling, bye.
Caitlin. That. Photo. Night made.
No. Never. Ever ever ever.
I think I'd be good friends with this guy. The dude is blowing sarcasm out the butthole in a way that's almost discrete, because he is acting as such a hardcore nickelbitch (I don't feel like capitolizing it). But the youtubers -some nicklebak fans (or to spell it right) - who have watched the video totally picked up on the humor and even appluaded the creator for making it. They obviously are aware of the image nikkilbac has and gives to the fans, but don't seem to care because they can still appreciate this. Power to them.
I think the creator of the video was obviously being sarcastic. There were some scenes where at the end he smiled a bit or he was trying to not smile and as twilson390 wrote, in the credits it said “Thanks Nickelback for taking the hit on this one!”. I think the creator might have liked nickleback atleast alitte bit because he did have a few of their cd's and songs. I don't think he is actually as obsessed with Nickleback as he acted in the video. Most of the commentors were able to assume he was joking about his obsession. I think he's just trying to make people laugh by poking fun at the real obsessed Nickleback fans.
1)The creator is AWESOME
2)none of the love was real
3)The commenters love it cause they all probably mutually think Nickleback is a tool.
4)This video=genius. He really nailed it on the head. I think because he was so serious, it put a little doubt in your mind at first whether he was actually being serious or not. This would make those who actually are obsessed with Nickelback seem obsessive and crazy.
Obviously this guy is being completely sarcastic throughout the video. It seems as though he is trying to make fun of Nickelback and their fans by making people who listen to Nickelback look less masculine. He does this by not knowing what to do under the hood of his car, by drinking a girly Starbucks coffee, and by talking about the Twilight soundtrack. His love for Nickelback isn't real, and if you didn't realize that by watching the video, he makes it pretty obvious by calling himself Nickel-Douche in the credits. I think the way that he is trying to convey his point isn't really doing too much for him other than making him look like a total tool. I'm not a fan of Nickelback either, but I wouldn't make some ridiculous YouTube video to let people know that. To make it even worse, it's not even funny, it's pretty much just like listening to Nickelback; around five minutes of total and complete boredom.
Obviously this is sarcasm. You know he is not a true fan because at first he thought that Nickleback was American. This means it's not a true fan love. This guy probably is close to someone who is a big Nickleback fan because even though it is extreme, I feel like that's how an extreme Niclkleback fan might act (to an extent) especially the buying the Now CD. When I was obsessed with BSB, I would buy a Now CD that would just have one of their songs on it. I think his message is clear though, Nickleback fans are obsessed. This can be said for other fans as well. Nicklecat was my favorite!
I think the creator is poking fun at Nickleback. I dont think however that is was extremely mean. He seems to be trying to make fun of a sibling or friend by all the "insults" that he says.
It seems like this guy’s purpose it to make fun of male Nickleback fans, emasculating them by not knowing what he is doing with the car and referencing to the Twilight series. Although I like some of their music, I am not a huge fan of Nickleback and I am not really sure if this is a good representation of their fans, however I still didn't think he was very funny. It was obvious that he was making fun of the band and their fans so maybe if I knew more about them like a huge fan would, I would have been able to find the humor in it. I think people can sometimes be funny to all audiences regardless of the audience’s knowledge of the subject when they portray someone or something in a worse scenario than it really is (even if some of nickleback’s fans are like this, its certain not all of them are) but I don't think the author did a good job this time.
