Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames

This particular set is, as far as I know, originally from Showderp, which, if you don't know, is when someone from /vp/ ladders with sets that other players suggest. Most of them are intentionally bad (e.g., Specs Weedle), but this one, usually called "Citizen Snips", is one that actually does work.
"Citizen Snips" is actually a popular set on Durant teams in the Battle Maison, with Substitute/Protect used instead of ResTalk for easier PP stalling and protection against OHKO moves. So it's not surprising that this one was able to sweep a whole team, especially with the generous evasion boosts early on.
 
Somebody kill me

Deoxys declares war on Vine memes and Undertale and wins

also really satisfying

Showderp can make some really potent trolling sets when they aren't just using trash for the lulz. Remember: They made Funbro.

Considering that Marowak hadn't had a Thich Club, it really is. Is Cheek Pouch even viable outside of that stalling Dedenne set?
Not really, because Knock Off exists. I've only ever really seen it on the stray Cheek Pouch/Belly Drum/Sitrus Berry Slaking, and even on Belly Drum sets it's outclassed by Unburden due to Unburden allowing for easier Imposterproofing.

I'm not sure if this person realized that this was Mix and Mega. Also, Kyurem choose to Dragon Pulse the Landorus instead of using an Ice attack.
