[mrisaac1995]

You guys are fucking weird.

I hate emo people.

[saxy4]

[Missfeygale]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

[Shkerks]

This was Sick as Shit.

[elgntlove3]

The dancing is gay.... Other then that i like it.

[WinterLibby]

@elgntlove3 D:

[McNutty42]

Ice age coming. Yes please.

[cheyne3464]

beautifully edited.

[rubengloasis]

Oh damn i am in the wierd part of youtube again.

[beccastardust]

I love the transferring of money & the flashing of the US flag in the strobe light. It's making me form a kind of allegory in my head.

[SOURCEw00t]

When I was in Okinawa in the Marine Corps back in 2006 I accidentally downloaded this song. I heard it the first time and was like, WTF? This song is the SHIT!

[mmike222]

@SOURCEw00t stupid marine...

[davidseeh]

ess brutal el momento en q le pintan las lagrimas al niño.

para mi es una de las canciones de radiohead por no decir la mejor. y llevaba tiempo queriendo ver un videoclip decente .

un saludo

[klaymen64]

How could someone dislike this?

[Mizzuru]

Love all the little Iraq war images that flash whenever the strobe light appears. really clever.

[jmj540]

GREATEST RAP SONG EVER

[KingM4tt]

@jmj540 Not sure if troll.

[BroSisProductions7]

Radiohead would more then definitely approve --- Great video!

[onadav]

At the end of the world the first thing I do is listen to that song and dance in Bray

Hope u do it too.

[weareaglitch]

i'd appreciate if people checked out my cover. it's pretty weird

[MasterYumyums]

From John McFerrin:

"What the song captures perfectly for me, and I'm serious here, is a sense of utter despair at the disconnect I feel with those around me when I watch other people enjoying themselves dancing, particularly to beat-heavy music. You have to understand:"

[MasterYumyums]

"I don't like dancing (in the "clubbing" sort of way) at all, but more than that I hate being around people who are enjoying themselves dancing, because it reinforces to me that I am fundamentally different from everybody else who is enjoying themselves, and watching people dance always triggers a deep (if temporary) fit of depression within me."

[ihatewii1]

ah the more u watch the freakier it gets!!! awesome

[ihatewii1]

nice tie :p

[ihatewii1]

a bit suppressive but really good! its like my 5th watch in a row :D

[sar1428]

wow. it took me a while to find those images out during the up-close flashes, and man does it bring the point across even more...

[32mrmanic1]

I REALLY fucking like this! Great synchronizing with the song..fuckin genius!

[trcharles7]

Why are there always people to dislike everything? What didn't you like about this one: the fact you couldn't understand it.....or that you did?

[XLemonCitrusX]

This. is. amazing.

[necroluke]

noma que video tan mas chingon y la cancion uff chingonsisima <3



[PatagonianWarrior]

disturbing picture of dead frozen baby @ 4:34 !!!!

[facecheek]

@PatagonianWarrior yes! yes i saw it too! ther's even more creepy pics in this video too

[naty3543]

brilliant! excelent video, congratulations

[ENIGMAxXxCOMPLEX]

better than the official video! and im a radiohead fan and normally would never say that. just amazing!

[funisgreat81]

perfect.........

[AgunZagunCom]

This video should be the OFFICIAL video of the Idioteque.

[neil8642]

Whoa... Now that's art.

[Weirdo87]

fucking spectacular. nothing else to say.

[no1GeorgeBarnett]

Brilliant. Just..... Brilliant.

[LisaSnicket]

First saw this like 3 years ago :P

[WatchIt2040]

Ha ha I'm a MEGA big fan of Radiohead, love this video neat... DOUBLE NEAT!

[KarlAndAlbert]

This is fucking awesome. Great job.

[moonpearl666]

won you tube.com do it. without the spaces

[Gh0stFLOWER]

if anyone actually understood what this video was about, then they wouldn't be so ignorant to say 'those pictures are sick. youre sick'. this video opens up our eyes to what is really behind our 'glorious america'. honestly, this is the absolute best video i have ever watched in my entire life, hands down.

[adaQ9]

incredible great video!

[weareaglitch]

Very cool video!!! I sampled this song for my new song so if you could check it out on my main page that would be very cool :)

[miiirandajai]

SOOO COOL.

[Slainsoul656]

One of the best 'unofficial' videos I've seen.

[mistergots]

wowwzers.

thanks.

[tubeskiller]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaawesoooooooomeeee­eeeeeee

[anger2power]

lacking inner coherence, therefore boring till the end of this brilliant track;

still worth watching

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

Now THIS is art!

[Jcharles1791]

SO GOOD. i would very much like to know how they do the seamless transition between the 'live action' and television set from (0:10)

[natedoggcata]

@Jcharles1791

Am assuming the camera was zoomed in on the television the whole beginning of the video

[Jcharles1791]

@natedoggcata yes your right! the camera is zoomed in on a television set which is playing the pre-recording of the the white room scene. Then when the suited guy presses the remote camera zooms out. simply genius!

[dabuik1]

this is great- thanks

[krnbboyprd]

watch it high..AMAZING 

[bxymox]

I dig it.

[reverendkillj0y]

this is a spectacular video.

[YerJob]

Compartmentalization. The modern condition

[BrightEyedBurglar]

The video actually looks a lot better if your computer has a dark screen. I know this because I used to have an old computer and I didnt realize how dark my screen used to be until I got a new one. The dancing looked better.

[magnafin]

this is amazing! not at all a fan video (at least not as we expect allways, since is so elaborated and autoral)!

beautiful and delicate! =0)

[invadercheeze]

Modernism at its best. This is an awesome video.

[Tignus2099]

eccezionale! 5*

[MySheLXD]

Awsum! D:

<3

[Djjonny101]

great video

[leytonwellon]

Dudeee, exelent !!

[zolnierz07]

this is good song but this movie is ..... you know, odd. :/

[SamCurran41]

this song is fuckin incredible

[LittleC1991]

A perfect circle is better :)

[HeinoKrier]

Great work.

[Matzemc]

great video!

[iFamot222]

woah....

[shmuen]

ITS TOO GOODD BAHHHH

[shmuen]

Wow

[Psypomp]

This is even more relevant today.

"Drill baby drill," anyone?

[crissc993]

this is fuckin amazing

[parkksy]

need really good speakers to appreciate the vaccum effect this song has

[suppenhannes]

pure creativity, pure art.

[jennaashoocckk]

Brilliant.

[Islingtonians]

We're not scaremongering,

This is really happening!!!

OMFG.

[cle2000]

way to show respect

[culvre]

the pad chords are a sample of a paul lansky track. i believe from the album 'alphabet book'.

[NameERF91]

oh and i just noticed the flashbacks like in 0:32 for example... thats superbe work

[NameERF91]

by all meanings great work

[KaliYugaForKiX]

Ha the ignorant sheeple dance away while the real movers & shakers fix up something horriffic & generaly lube the wheels of this terrible machine...brilliant

[whitelght]

That's really creative!!! Amazing really... I am so curious as to what program you used ??

[dashdanw]

brilliant, love the visual harmonies

[licideux]

don't think just because they're young, they can't understand the meaning of a song.

art in general has many meanings, it's not just black and white.

maybe you're idea of the meaning of this song is different from theirs, so what?

it takes all kinds

[AlephNeil]

This is great. I don't care if people think it's inappropriate.

The song is about how we're ignoring our premonitions of something horrific on the horizon, and your video gets this across brilliantly.

My only problem with it is that there are a few moments where the camera is fixed, the room is brightly lit, you can see all the wrinkles in the white paper background, and my suspension of disbelief fails - I just see a bunch of students who've been told to dance about.

[fishpasted]

this is really creative! 5 stars! i took a film class in highschool and believe me, i know how hard it is to edit footage.

[mikeisway2coolforu]

Bloody brilliant vid. I don't agree with what some of the other people are saying, I thought it was a great tribute to Radiohead.

[DouchebagReadsThis]

i gave you one star for those disgusting pictures you put it. you're sick.

[jakeforking]

how did you get from the first scene so that it came out of the tv?

..if you know what i mean?

[7CATALYST25]

Great vid, with a budget you guys coulda done the real thing

[pinotostado]

Brilliant

[veedubber707]

this video isnt even meaningful its in bad taste, why do students think they know everything when infact they have no common sense and are totally stupid

[acboldt]

there are a lot of inappropriate pictures in this video of dead or seriously hurt children. 4:34 is one. You guys are sick

[Unknown8732]

pause @ 0:24. thats totally inappropriate

[einendrehen]

who cares about the vid. the song is great

[dopesick187]

to everyone on the topic of the dancers, do you actually think that this guy has that many friends that can;t dance and/or dance the same way. Dont be so obtuse please, you're killin his vision, whatever it may be. good vid, keep it up!

[3mun5]

@ the garbage posted 5 down, thanks I guess for keeping youtube comments in line with the gutter sludge you revel in ignorantly. Stay classy. -1

[WheresMyChain]

pmsl at the dancers

[zillabong420]

thats not stereotypical wracism atall lol

[rob5000x1]

the dancing in this video is way to corny...

[MyCatsBreath]

Women and children are, for the most part, useless workers. Especially if they are distressed or hungry. So, yeah...women & children first. Makes sense to me. Those Jew guys were skin and bones and they still did a good day's work...when the bosses weren't watching. That's a big part of why so many Jew guys are successful now...hard workers.

[sharrison1329]

To quote Barney Frank, "On what planet do you spend most of your time?"

[leomessi102]

uranus!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonmonkey33]

This video is silly

[systmdown006]

If you pause when the "flashes" happen on the close up of the people's faces, you'll see that it's actually cut-outs of pictures of different people's faces. Also, the dancers are drinking that black liquid, causing them to make those erratic movements that is sorta like dancing but not really. So I guess they're supposed to be under control or something. It's not that they can't dance, the director is probably trying to convey a message.

[tbm234]

damn, those white kids can't dance at all. They look like they're just jumpin around on hot pavement with bare feet.

[jeffdizzle19]

i really like this except for the dancers. it just kind of looks amature when they come in and i feel something else more interesting could have been done with that. but i really love the whole close up flashes of the peoples faces and the switches between the dark and light rooms. seriously very well done

[stelioshead]

one of the best songs...

[systmdown006]

I can't stop watching this video, it's great! Good job!

[wheresgeorge1025]

Wow, this video is great!

[LongSausageMAN]

Quality song and quality video!

[KaliYugaForKiX]

Dislike dancers cause they dont look natural, they look like some kids moving for the guy with camera. but thats the only thing:P

[rhgbrfdenjhcxhjtr6jn]

Radiohead makes the scariest damn music

[emosdieslow]

glad I'm not the only one to think that.

[rhgbrfdenjhcxhjtr6jn]

fuck, me too

[katrinajosefina]

thats really weird, before i even saw this video i imagined making a music video and yours is very similar to the one i pictured. good job..

[KaefShi]

I love Radiohead, but I like more your video than the official one! :-)

[Luvinhas]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[rekojehtmai]

Wow looks like it took a lot of time and editing nice job

[jari34]

4/5! ++++ Great editing and concept - But I felt it lacked something.

[BFRX]

thats how i dance

[leomessi102]

I dunno why every1 dislikes the dancers i like em hahah. They create a chaotic and out of sync mood reflected by the music

[wenseslao21]

excellent work, but some dancers just didn't wanted to cooperate right?

*****!

[julianread101]

Excellent Video!

[TheAmyyProject]

Love the song and this is a great video!!

[scamsgalore]

Great concept! great editing, overall, up to professional standard. Although the goofy dancing ruined it for me. (it would have been nice to have some modern dancers in it, but I suppose you had to keep within your budget)

[Pvpdeouf]

La transe...

[Megatrousers]

This is a masterpiece... better than most professional music videos.

[akmstarsun]

I agree.....This is amazing....Very thoughtfully done...Good job man....Looks like a great deal of work was put in to it....Plus a great song

[roosterhake]

Totally Incredible!! I loved this video! It's excellent!!!

[AngryAngryDeathBunny]

Very well done!

[iloveyourmumsmum]

the editing is very good however the video lacks a plot it seems like a load of things you "thought" would look arty and cool mashed together if you are going to do a music video atleast let it tell a story as thats what songs try to do in a way if not just a film a band

[SharedNightscapes]

great video!

[adulto91]

iespi=ietsi=iexi=iesi=iezzi

[namingauser]

complete crap, give up directing...

[PivotBoyproductions]

oh fuck off. u make something like this

[shannonmarielewis]

i thought it was a great video! the only thing is whenthe people are dancing in a group, it don't look like they're dancing to the same song or that they're that excited to be there, the chick with the bottle in her hand is trippy, all in all it was great!

[qwertyqeys]

I find it strange that it has to be a LITTLE BOY'S tears. It seems to be the only way people will actually start to care. If it's a grown man people will say SUCK IT UP! and kick them. If not then they will behave very condescending towards them. That's why they had to make the person crying a child. And also on a COMPLETELY unrelated topic. THERE'S SO MUCH CRIME IN THE DESERT!

[progreadicto]

this is a good song, but isn't the best song on kid A, the best songs are: The national anthem & motion picture soundtrack

[krazydave4dundy]

sick!

[americannapalm]

that was retarded....not to be mean....but woah...

[leomessi102]

better than anything you could direct. I thought it was a great video that fit the mood of the music.

[americannapalm]

that took directing?....i highly doubt it took much...you are probably friends with the guy so i wont even bother getting into this with you

[leomessi102]

haha no i have no idea who this is.....and theres 200,000 views....that says enough in of itself that people admire his work.....and it probably did take good directing....getting that lighting and the effects set up right....im guessing a lot of work went into this video.

[americannapalm]

i would say its more that people admire the work of radiohead....not some hack who decided to obliterate their song...dont get me wrong...the editing isn't all that bad..but the dancing etc is ridiculous

[leomessi102]

yea i dont think so.....you make a video of idioteque then. Let's see it get 200,000....the dancing isnt supposed to be brilliant i think its supposed to be silly.

[americannapalm]

well i do think so...go do a search on radiohead and see the # of views they get....and because i dont like it...i have to remake it?...if i decide to make another music video...maybe ill consider this to be the project...but as of now...no thanks...and as far as dancing....i never commented on its style...im simply saying its addition to this video is overdone...half the song is them acting retarded....

[americannapalm]

thats my opinion man...but if you read the comments on here..its not just mine

[Wedsheport]

This is probably the most instantly catching song I ever heard...

[sebasthechecka]

crazy video

[badazzpresidents23]

too many times have i listened to bands that ended up disappointing me one day. Like Nine Inch Nails, Mindless Self Indulgence, Coldplay, various grunge groups, various ska groups, various goth groups (The Cure, Siouxsee and the Banshees, The Bauhaus, etc.)

I'm glad to finally have come across Radiohead. They are among some of the few bands that will never fail to disappoint me.

[macarion]

NEVER FAIL TO DISAPPOINT YOU LOL LOL

[dubbleagent22]

definitely missed the point and feeling of the song :(

[oscarsangle]

wow very original, somebody in a white room looking at a closed-circuit television!

you've nearly ruined this song. Thom Yorke would not be pleased.

[Evelyyn70]

i love this song. when i listen to it, it makes me feel really different. i feel like im remembering something..but i dont know what it is.

[vint7107]

great song...lousy video...it's a good thing that this song surpasses this video so much that i'll still be able to listen to it with a smile and not have the horrible and cliche images of a chessy music video in my head. thank you and have a nice day!

[xClaraJaynex]

awesome sauce!

[slimmcbrah]

Great job. Wow.

[moonroot]

Is this possibly about the holocaust?

-"First the women and the children"

-"throw them in the fire...in the fire..."

-"Take the money, run, take the money, run."

[darkxspectre]

how does that specify the holocaust in any way?

[moonroot]

The german death camps where women and children were burnt first, and people trying to get out of germany to escape the death camps.

[annaelyse28]

great job. this is really well done.

[latiex124]

gooood

buen video esta de lujo

sobretodo la rola

[KalixWyntircat]

Song is great, anti-bush sentiment not as much.

[tomfranz123456789]

nice video!!!!

[UpTheWazooFilms]

Wow. This is probably the best fan-made music video I've ever seen, no lie.

[cenipoti1]

i'm very like

[kaylaplays]

a pleasant surprise!

[killerfuzzz]

very good (blood & beer)

[TheRealDivineAnarchy]

yep

[gabe4mdema]

i like........

[notyoursavior78]

............a whole lot.
