I must admit that a good sized portion of this went over my head, but I found the imagery to be fantastic and the overall presentation very unique. It doesn't scream the Offspring in my opinion, but it is nevertheless an appropriate video for them.
ok the vid is very weird but the cd talks about the rise and fall of humans,the success or failures.talks about the life and death and about the facts in our days-like war or politics as you see on the video-and many other stuff.so the vid has to do with the song and the whole cd.i think its just bad made and the effects could be more better but it make sense.
This video(if you wanna call it that, more like a slideshow) made no sense. i was wondering wut this song was about and after watching the video that it was about nothing. with a song like this, any video should've been good, but they screwed it up. awesome song. weird video

There may be some underlying, intelligent meaning to this, but I and the vast majority of people haven't spotted it. The music channels won't play it, and everyone will hate it. I hope this video is a hoax.
You can't necessarily confirm that it is fake just because of the website it premeired on. Though IGN is primarly a video game oriented website, it does have other media on there like Movies, Music, Comics, Sports, Anime, Cars and TV.
I kinda agree, haha. Maybe that's why they had the contest? Check out mine. I guarantee it's a hell of a lot more entertaining to watch than this one, haha. Dirt bikes, crashes, trucks, and cliff jumping :-D
I think most of the people don't like it because it's such a far step in another direction. All the other videos were "real" ones. You could see the band. but in this here.well i think you can see things in the song whoich have something to do with the first album. some scenes could also be a little connection to jennifer lost the war or tehran. and yeah, i think the guys made it to have a video which is something really new. not everyone uses such animations. so i think you could like it too ;)
Nice video, actually one with a meaning after many commercial and meaningless Offspring videos. And many nice ideas in it too. Not easygoing and funny stuff like they choose from Americana and after, guess that's why many don't like it but definitely great for me.
I know. Everyone is dissing this video and fail to see the meaning and symbolism that it has. The Offspring have matured alot and it shows in this video and the album.
well, i see that my new idea is lost ._. well heres my idea again: dexter lies on the couch in their studio and is writing a couple of songs. then he sleeps and dreams or even remembers of a young guy with a pistol in his hand, lots of screaming people and yeah... the guys shooting around. and the police is searching him but he hides and yeah... you know what i mean? dexter wakes upo in the night because the other band members call him and tocuh on his shoulder.
So.... you see the floor and the camera zooms under the bed and there's a piece of a newspaper with the title: "Boy shot in school- three people are death" with a pic of dexter when he was young. ... or the newspaper should be on a wall and the camera zooms to the wall.^^ It should show that dexters dream is real. so, now you can think of it: a college, my idea for the beginning, the young dexter as a very bad guy and police, pistols etc. and my version of the end ;)
i think it could be better._. It shopuld be a mix of original prankster and pistols and yeah.... something like that. i think it should be in a college and a young "dexter" shoots around and the people are afraid of him, call the police and th boy hides and when dexter gets loud (in the song) the real face of dexter is screaming...hm... something like a soul or a ghost... and the other guys... well, they are shown in the end. yeah! i've got a new idea!
Wow... that kinda missed the point of the song? Though, I guess it gets some points for being the only video that actually included somewhat of a classroom.
Damn, I really wished that it wasn't only open to the US.
Not too impressed...I wish they would have just made there own video...Kinda lame and I don't really know what was happening...It definitely does not do justice for the song.
I know. All my friends on the Offspring myspace group are saying that this video sux. I love it. Its got alot of imagery and I couldn't ask for anything better. Thanks for the comment
