Other commenters seemed generally unimpressed with the quality of the video.
One user with 13,000 likes said: "Is it just me, or does this seem low budget?"
Another said: "I'm impressed. They mange to make it worse every year."

Eugene Lee Yang’s Coming Out video features first in the montage, with Ariana Grande’s 7 Rings as the backing music.
Tati Westbrook, Jenna Marbles and the Sidemen also feature, with a countdown of the top 10 most liked videos, including Shane Dawson’s conspiracy theories and,James Charles’ No More Lies video.
The biggest music videos also feature including Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road, Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy and Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s Senorita all getting a shout out.
Dance, gaming, and beauty all have their own sections, before the video runs through the break-out creators of 2019.
Then the most viewed YouTubers are counted down with stars like MrBeast, David Dobrik and Felipe Neto all high up on the list with PewDiePie taking the top spot with a whopping four billion views over the year.
