    What about the Dr Dre / Tupac video California Love? That whole mad Max thunderdome thing they were doing. Actually not the first mad Max thunderdome rip off because Tina Turner did it with the theme song from the movie or one of the songs that was used in the movie. Anyhow California Love seemed like a very very expensive video.

    11:34 no…. No… No. Nothing surprised me more than hearing Xenoblade Chronicles X OST. Ive listened to this song way too much because of the time spent trying to figure out how am i going to afford the repair of my skell without insurance. In 2015 and still again in 2025. So it makes me laugh at how fitting the song is when talking about the expense of expensive things. Seeing that this video came out before the definitive edition by a couple days is crazy and cool points 🤙🏾

    no joke, as soon as you said the GS song was about Gavin, I did the head tilt "are you sure??" thing only for you to pop in 3 second later and correct it. It was a surreal moment and I though I was watching a live stream for a second lol.

    The fact that no OK GO video is on this list is all the proof I need that a high budget does not necessarily correlate with quality or creativity.
