If Educational Videos Were Filmed Like Music Videos

There's a reason music videos look strange. I could just talk about framerate, cuts and continuity... or I could get an actual music video director. And a leaf blower.

    I thought about singing in this, then I thought better of it. Thanks to all the production crew who made this happen: pull down the description for full credits!
  • @mystiotto1792
    Friends: "What music are you into?" Me: "It's... complicated."
  • @SethColby69
    ain't a real music video unless youtube tries to help out the deaf people by putting the subtitles as [MUSIC]
  • @s4sausage135
    "this microphone isnt even pluged in" just killed me laughing
  • I did NOT expect to see dodie randomly pop up in a Tom Scott video. I can't believe they are such good friends that were definitely filming in the same room!
  • @C4GPU
    "We couldn't afford a wind machine" Next shot: Sits in bougie bath tub
  • @corbans5796
    "We're on our 15th take and everyone would like to go home." I've been in a music video 'party' this is accurate.
  • @carmiwrites
    "Because ending the same way we started makes the audience think there's a sensible, circular narrative that ties the whole thing together...even if there isn't." 😂This video was awesome and so accurate. I thought I was the only one who thought music videos were just weird, random and...well, senseless.
  • Little does Tom know he made quite literally the best broad summary tutorial of a music video we got in the year 2018
  • @Walduhu
    Confirmed: Tom Scott definitely takes a bath with his red shirt on
  • @Atlantis720
    The part with Tom just sitting in a fancy bathtub in his red shirt was hilarious.
  • This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.
  • @nouche
    It’s funny that this ended up on YouTube Music, despite not being a song. I’ve got a button for it at the top of the screen now!
  • @oui2611
    6 seconds in and it already captured the essence of a modern day music video to a T
  • @Hung_Nguyen_90
    If you wear a headphone while watching this, people around would think this is actually a music video
  • I love it when the actors of comedy act like everything is completely normal and don't even crack a smile, it makes it funnier for some reason
  • @HimanXK
    Dodie suddenly appearing is like a reverse jump scare. A jump comfort.
  • @toastbrot97
    And it's even uploaded in 21:9... in a 16:9 format. This video is essentially perfect.
  • @khadeejaaaa832
    You forgot the comment section being a freaking calendar
  • I love how people, especially if they're teens, always "understand" the deep meaning behind the video even if there is no meaning, its just randomness to promote an artist
