Agreed!
It's rather offensive. I find it happens with English men too. Is he gay or just English? (as in the stereotype effete some particularly upper class English men tend to have)

I'm sorry OP, but all this did was get the Legally Blonde musical stuck in my head again.

You don't have to. I mean, I haven't seen any for while, but when I have they're never actually serious. So yeah..

I feel you. Like... I don't necessarily find it offensive, depending on who puts it together-- certainly there are other gay (and European) fans who poke gentle fun at themselves along with a character when they joke about certain stereotypes. But the videos just... there's rarely enough to stretch the joke out long enough for the song without just getting TIRED. When the video maker tries to fit the cast of characters to all the different singing roles, it often feels forced, but when it's an animatic rather than clips, then not having characters in the different roles feels pointless...

I seriously never seen that joke which is weird considering I am both gay and European nor do I get it? Someone, send help!

It's from a song (which I only in this thread learned was from the Legally Blonde musical) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LN_L85b2zQ

The gist is that, based on American standards of masculinity, both gay men and European men act effeminately(focus on personal grooming, dressing stylishly, greater interest in the arts, etc etc).
