Ahead of Saturday afternoon's NFC divisional playoff game between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings at Levi's Stadium, the Vikes' social media team posted a video to Instagram that can only be described as incredibly weird.

The video in question depicts a time-lapse of Levi's stadium with two cartoon characters in the foreground that are basically team helmets with arms and legs. The 49ers character says "Welcome... to Silicon Valley" and we're then suddenly in the Matrix (?), the 49ers character pulls out a space gun that says "Big Tech" on it and starts shooting tech company logos at the Vikings character. After slow-motion dodging Twitter, Facebook, Apple, Google Chrome, Instagram, What's App, and Uber logos à la Neo, the Viking character jump kicks the 49ers character.

The whole thing is as odd as it sounds, and even users on Reddit struggled to understand it.

"Did they hire The General Insurance graphics team?" Reddit user Ohsbar asked.

"It looks like something that'd pop up on screen when I pick up a tricky split down at the bowling alley," Reddit user Throwwayback555 commented.

"Makes sense to me, this is the kind of thing kirk cousins would share on facebook," Reddit user HaywireNZ joked.

The video, posted on Friday, had over 100,000 views and more than 26,000 likes as of Saturday morning.

Kickoff for Saturday's game is scheduled for 1:35 p.m.
