This video comes at a rather interesting time. Just last week we had Black Friday, the day where people will literally stampede over each other so that they can get [INSERT ITEM] at a ridiculously discounted price. I guess saving money is worth maiming and sometimes even killing each other, right?
That’s why when comic editor Zac Thompson sent me the video for Mr. Oizo‘s “HAM”, which was directed by Eric Wareheim, I knew I had to make it this week’s Twisted Music Video Of The Week.
The video shows a heavily made up John C. Reily riding his electronic scooter into a discount store with the intention of buying a stuffed monkey. As it’s the last one on display, people naturally start fighting over it – gotta have the last one, right? – and it ends in violence and bloodshed.
Yay holidays!
