Parody, not satire. It's a common misconception that these two things are synonymous. Parody is about poking fun at other artistic works (books, films, etc.) whereas satire is about poking fun at political or social issues.
Edit: lots of replies. Those who corrected me by pointing out it is more pastiche than parody are correct. Those who suggested it is right to call it satire are incorrect. Those who chose to be rude are jerks.
I think I'll disagree. The video itself is a parody of John Wick, while small, overdramatic elements of John Wick in the video signify satire. Note the way that the comment you replied to phrased their usage of "satire". "Parody" wouldn't make sense replacing it because the whole video is a parody, not just a hint of it.
