i think the song means, when i see the video clip, that the author of the song is like an observator of the scene and tells what is wrong with all of these kind of things... i can relate it to something unreal happens in real life.. something unpredictable, something wrong...!
This director is amazing. Not only does the video, strangely, go perfectly with the video, but its hard to make a scene of a man groping a mannequin compelling, but he did it.
Tim's character has had an empty and loveless marriage for years. She doesn't pay attention to him or love him, she just uses him for money and shopping. He is the typical neutered suburban husband. While shopping for shoes, she starts flirting with the salesman as usual. Tim is at a breaking point. He is so hurt and angered he fondles the mannequin in defiance to his ice cold wife. He gets more love from the mannequin than he does his own wife.
Everyone rushes to pull Tim off the mannequin but he doesn't care anymore. No one understands him. They just see him as a fat boring weirdo. His wife is completely ignorant to his inner pain, she doesn't even notice him acting out in the store. To Tim's dismay the mannequin breaks apart as he is dragged away from it. His wife continues merrily along.
I love this video. I just imagine Tim's character grew up in suburbia to some strict religious parents. He accidentally knocked up his girlfriend and his parents forced him to marry her. Having never had any control over his life and never truly experiencing any sort of sexuality - he snaps. When he fondles the mannequin he discovers everything it is to be in a sexual explosion. Overcome with pent up lust and frustration, he sexually assaults the mannequin. Cause he never learned how to love :[
Wow. That was great. Tims wife is a terrific actress as well. They should do more acting together, im sure it would be hilarious. The mustache was icing on the cake.
I also love this video, but I didn't find it funny at all. To me it was less about comedy and more about jealousy and desperation. It's amazing how the video seems to be planned out to the last detail. I especially like the bit where the woman is wrapping the salesman's tie around her finger. It really brings home the point that she's the one who drove the main character to the state we see him in, and how she's about to do the same to the salesman.
on the day of the shoot I got this email that said "matt, i am sporting a light mustache. is this ok?" with a little iphone picture attached. needless to say, it was more than ok.
@notgerardo No but I'm pretty sure that's Queen Latifah at 2:30, at the 3:00 mark you can see Megan Fox peek out of the dressing room, and don't forget Louie Anderson at 3:20!!
I'm so in love with this collaboration, I would have never thought to unite Clues and Tim Heidecker. Now I can ponder the possibility of Eric doing a video for 'Cave Mouth'...
thank you all so much for such positive feedback. this was an idea we had for a long time. Because of the little money we had and a lot of hard work from everyone involved, i'm very proud to see so much love.
Of course no short amount of thanks goes to Tim Heidecker for stealing the show and Clues for crafting such a powerful song.
Well it's original as hell man, and we're so lucky that Tim and Eric support low budget stuff, having a name like that would have been impossible 10 years ago
I am never disappointed when a Heidecker or Wareheim are involved.Great job on taking one continuous shot with no edits and keeping it interesting enough to want to watch again. Simply awesome.
