Okay, that was on TV. I'm sure they had permission and/or royalties paid to do that. Otherwise, they probably would have gotten sued like almighty hell.

Why would any copyright holder even give permission for a TV show to make fun of their product?

Also youtube itself says that even if say, you went to a concert and recorded the music with your own equipment, you still dont own it, even if you paid for the entrance, and therefore you can not earn money in any form for that too. Or when you buy a disk, rip its music and upload them on youtube. You still have no rights to the music.

That's something else entirely. It's not like LPers are reproducing or selling the game. 2 Reasons:

1 - Video Games are an iteractive medium, the person won't be able to fully experience it through video

2 - There's freaking commentary, editing and whatever, it's not just a plain showcasing of the game and definitely not relatable to piracy.
