That song is now stuck in my head. How do I shake it off?

Can anyone give a synopsis for those of us who can't watch videos at work?

jkcoehoorn: it's from the MTV Music Awards. It's a "comedic" song about how, in movies, the cool character never looks backwards as things are exploding behind them.

I didn't find it that funny, personally. The concept is there, but the execution is weak. It looks like something they whipped up in a couple hours, instead of putting real work into.

...And, Mark Wahlberg is wearing a hat.

It kind of looks and sounds like they used some of the concept of the Literal Videos guys (http://www.dustfilms.com/literalvideos) with a montage of explosion scenes instead of a music video.

This always bugged me. I always wanted the cool character to get pegged in the back by shrapnel.

The flipside of that would be the "Johnny English" trailer (not looking at the explosion for a different reason).

Thanks, I will never look at an action flick the same way again. ;)

@2: It'll probably be on the next The Lonely Island CD. Their Incredibad CD is pretty hilarious.
