Really, it's not THE video that will make "I'm with stupid" become a huge hit. The rhythm of the images makes the song slow. On top of that, only British fans will recognize the two actors. Finally, only PSB fans will get all the jokes. Where are Bush and Blair ???? Sorry...
I don´t think only PSB fans get the jokes because "Can You Forgive Her?" and "Go West" have been 2 of the most played and famous videos in PSB 90´s history. So everybody will enjoy it. :wink:

Yes it is very slow. The song goes faster than the video and it looks very cheap, I know it's part of the funny thing but.....

Another thing, the actors of LB are not famous in other countries and the video of "Can you forgive her?" is not famous for non PSB fans, maybe they'll recognize the "Go West" parody.

I like it, anyway.

It's great and far better than I expected.

@303krs: There won't ever exist a video to make I'm with stupid a hit.

Brilliant video, but I agree with those who say that it's a shame that Neil and Chris don't seem to want to be in their own videos anymore... :|

That´s something I missed and will keep on missing too. I miss them much in a video for much more time. :(

don't attack me for my opinion, but this video is the worst video I've seen, not just worst from PSB but worst of all videos I've ever seen
i cannot believe Neil & Chris have this kinda video in 2006 with all these technologies and opportunities
they could've presented themselves in new light with this video
they could've wear lots of make-up and look beautiful in video
but no, they had to spoil it with those two morons
OMG, i wanted to throw up when I saw those teeth lip-syncing to Neil's beautiful voice
it spoiled everything
this is such a waste of time to make video like this
people who don't know PSB will see the video and won't understand the joke - they'll just think - OMG look at these morons and they'll think Neil's voice is actually by that teeth-monster!
how sad would that be?
P.S.
I'm sorry if you don't like this but it's just my opinion, no need to rude about it or attack me :)

Its the kind of video that will get played. Therefore it serves its purpose.
