Donald Trump, the atypical front runner for the Republican nomination, is promoting one of the most atypical campaign-like videos ever. Or at least what may be one of the most over-the-top parodies.

Called “Trump Effect,” the two-and-a-half minute video was tweeted by a group calling itself “Immigrants-4-Trump” and mimics the launch trailer for video game Mass Effect 2 with music dramatically crescendoing as a voice-over from Martin Sheen declares “humanity is under attack.”

“One very specific man might be all that stands between humanity and the greatest threat of our brief existence,” he says.

“That man is my father,” Ivanka Trump then says in the next clip.

Among the testimonials — in place of reviews on the video game trailer — are these:

“Donald Trump is simply awe-inspiring” – all who gaze upon him “I wrote the Art of the Deal” – Donald Trump “No more oreos!” – Donald Trump

The video also warns "Beware of dog" after a clip of Hillary Clinton barking and some ominous music plays over footage of President Obama lifting weights.

The strange nature of the video had some gamers wondering if it was actually for real Monday.

The video itself was yanked from YouTube due to a copyright claim from the video game maker.

But not before Trump himself pinned a tweet of the video to his Twitter page:

And posted part of it to Instagram:
