SSL cert is very suspicious. It is by Google Trust Services LLC valid starting on Thu, 01 Apr 2021 02:07:46 GMT. Video was uploaded to YouTube on April first.

I would go with a fun joke.

There's nothing suspicious about that CA. If you do a search[1] you can see plenty certificates issued for benign sites. My guess is that's the CA for google related products? eg. GCP, app engine, or google site builder.

Yep! but the dates are suspicious. There is no record of this happening anywhere before April 1st.

Youtube, SSL, domain, everything. April first. Also, humorously hosted on google.

What's so suspicious about celebrating the 25th anniversary of a prank by publishing it, but preferring anonymity because people on the Internet are terrible nowadays?
I believe GTS certs are Google (employee) only, correct? The hostname also goes to 1e100.net.

Doesn't seem like it

Ah ok, I thought Letsencrypt was the only available auto-issuing CA on Google Cloud but that must have changed with GKE. The 1e100 address is probably pointed at a gke load balancer then.
Why GKE? It's probably just a static site hosted on Google Sites or something...
It is hosted on google sites. The little (I) pop up in the bottom corner gives it away.
IIRC, Google sites doesn't actually have static sites.
