If you want to post animated gifs and embed youtube videos you can't use IRC. Everything depends on the requirements. To find the right solution you have to understand what your client needs, not what he thinks he needs.

Yes you can, plenty of IRC clients let you post animated gifs, some would let you embed youtube videos I am sure.

Nope. And you have no guarantee that the server supports sending that, or that anyone else is using the same IRC client.
