Music Videos with Weird Plots

Music videos tend to take some... Artistic liberties, one might say.

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

Long-ago, women (some, not all) used the tactic of rejecting a guy, to see if he'll give up so easily, as what can be described as half shit test and half an assessment on her part to see how much he is really interested in her. Now though, we live in an age where social standards have made it harassment if a man looks a woman for more 3 seconds. Then again, the alternative is you literally driving away from a guy who grabbed your ass and him clinging to the side of the vehicle.

Okay but like one more thing about Payphone: Adam’s verses are about how he regrets how he treated someone and he needed to call them to tell them he’s sorry. wiz khalifa’s verse is about how people from his past who did him wrong are always trying to call him up and apologize because they just want a piece of his fame.

I have a theory in regards to the music video where both of the main characters are played by the same singer. Haven't watched the original piece itself but based on what I can gather from your video, here's what I believe: The two men represent different phases of the man's life. The "bad neighbor" who hangs out with a group is a simply younger version of the singer, while the "good neighbor" who lives with his wife is an older form of the guy. The two are at odds since the older version dislikes looking back at his past self (perhaps caused by stupid mistakes he has made), while his past self sees his future self as a lame old man (nobody wants to see themselves get boring as they become old). This actually does tie into what the song is about because in the video, the future version of the performer states "When you see my face / hope it gives you hell" which, again, is most likely due to the fact that the past version of the man would not like to see himself grow out of the phase which he is in. I could go a lot more in depth but it's a KZbin comment. Hope you understand what the hell I am on about, Quinton.

[@elijahdavallos6955]

I thought the same thing!

[@yungdnny]

You make sense, maybe the video is really about reflecting on the past. I always assumed the "gives you hell" video was about 2 guys that were ex lovers lol. I felt like that was implied. Maybe I'm wrong though.

[@xwenty6552]

Again, never watched the original so maybe you're right.

[@SarahAndreaRoycesChannel]

Yeah, that definitivly weren't good examples for weird plots. Thriller e.g. was a spoof of typical horror tropes. Some of the most appreciated Guns and Roses videos would have worked a lot better.

[@queerlibtardhippie9357]

i just thought his girl left him for a doctor or something

[@Gabriel-wk3hz]

I think the Gives You Hell MV is about a guy growing up and trying to be two things at once: his college age grunge self, and his future suburban family man life. This causes a disconnect between him and his girlfriend/future wife (which coincides with the song) which ultimately tears their relationship apart. He wants to have fun and be grungy, but also be the family man for his girlfriend. He's angry at her until they come to the conclusion that they need to meet in the middle and/or open up the relationship (hence the wife swap scene). Both women are supposed to be different facets of the same girl.

[@greenman5907]

To be fair tho, I think the surreal and cartoon quality some of these videos have is exactly what they are going for. From a filming standpoint music videos have some of the artsiest stuff I’ve seen.

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

Y'all remember "Save Rock and Roll" by Fall Out Boy? It's an entire album where there's a music video for every single song, and they all link together to tell one cohesive story. The band members get kidnapped, tortured, brainwashed, killed, you name it, all by this group that hates music or something? And they're all racing to protect this briefcase, which in the end, you never really figure out what's in it, but it's supposed to be viewer interpretation. It was silly and over the top, but I absolutely love it.

[@spiderscum7290]

When I was younger I almost cried when I first saw “thriller “

[@shawnfields2757]

Same here. It still gets points for being the scariest music video ever made, and to this day, even though I'm 25, I STILL believe Michael Jackson was a werewolf/Thundercat hybrid. Fucking creepy. At least it lives up to it's name, it is a Thriller.

[@dottyContrarian]

i remember being really scared of the song, only hearing the audio

[@yourmidnights13]

Michael Jackson had a vision when he started a project, everything was calculated to precision. He didn't need to 'look cool' he simply was. Smooth Criminal for example, there's a moment in the extended version where him and the dancers just 'feel the music' before it goes to the dance break. It has meaning, passion, soul. They were short films. These artists just want to look cool and get a reaction. Michael didn't need to, he knew that the reaction was inevitable, he just needed to tell the best story possible. And he always did. And that's why no one will ever compare.

[@shawnfields2369]

Dude/lady, there's NO shame in admitting Thriller scared you. To this day, it scares me. It scared me when I was a little boy. How could it NOT scare you, at least a little? There's no shame in saying something scares you. It's ok, we've all got fears and things that scare us. There's also the "Land Of Confusion" video, which was just weird, but one of my favorite songs. There's the Foo Fighters, who've had pretty much every single one of their videos weird as hell, along with The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Gorillaz, with every video they've ever made being weird, but the RHCP and Gorillaz are 2 of my favorite bands, so i don't mind the weirdness. It works, and they always make it work, that's part of how they're 2 of the best bands out there, another part is just the fact that they're awesome and talented.

[@ThexDynastxQueen]

It still scares me lol. It's been like 20+ years and I have YET to finish the full video without turning on the lights or looking behind me. The horror atmosphere and designs are just so on point for a nearly 40 year old MV, Oscar worthy really.

The music video for “If It Gives You Hell” represents that during adulthood your “wild side” can torture you sometimes. Sometimes you really want to do bad things and finding a healthy way to live out your wild side can help you calm the battle between your two sides.

[@V-grandraccoon]

I'd recommend watching David Bowie's "Jazzin for Blue Jean" from 1984 the full thing is an amazing tale about two characters (both played by Bowie) the entire thing is 20 minutes long and even gets a meta ending Summary Bowie number 1 wants to date a girl who likes bowie number 2. Bowie number1 then pretends to know bowie number 2 to impress her Eventually Bowie number 1 buys a ticket for one of bowie number 2's concerts and gives it to her bowie1 then breaks into bowie2's dressing room begging him to help him impress his girlfriend Bowie 2 goes out on stage and sings a song Then Bowie 1 and his girlfriend wait until everyone else has left the theatre Bowie 2 approaches bowie1 and his girlfriend He then impresses her and steals her from Bowie1 Then Bowie1 exits the theatre furious and talks to the video's director demanding that the video gets a happy ending and that he should get the girl The video then pans out with Bowie1 and the director arguing

[@RuizaHana93]

Artists trying to make their own Thriller is just sad. Nobody can make something on the same level as Thriller. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Re: the hostage situation in "Payphone," there was that period in the late 90s/early 2000s when music videos with overwhelming diegetic noise or other interruptions were very much the rage.

The worst offender I ever saw, and I cannot remember artist or title now, was filmed entirely through the windshield of a car and consisted of the three guys in the car arguing up until they accidentally drove into a pond, whilst the song played on the car stereo EDIT: the car vid was "The F Word" by Babybird
