Thanks Gary Price for pointing this out. It’s a non-substantive video promotion for the new Google Offers service, which is now rolling out in Portland (and soon other cities):
Below is Google’s merchant solicitation/sign-up page for the new service:
There’s no discussion yet of margins or terms for merchants.

To Greg and all other readers,
what is about Google that makes their product totally BORING and unappealing?
WHO is their marketing guy? Come on Google! This product has so much potential and here you present me with a crap guess-who video “what will it be?” that makes a kids movie more interesting.
No wonder why Facebook and Twitter are gaining momentum, this company is run by nerd-geeks who have no idea how to give an identity to their products.

It’s true that consumer marketing has been a huge weakness for Google historically. However in the recent past they’ve made more of an effort. But I agree the video is pretty uninformative.
