It's great. I think it looks more professional for some reason.

i like it at the end when all the robots party. i was expecting the robot to see sum 41 trashing the toy store then fall down. but that whole robot party thing was completely enexpected and hilarious.

i repeat: best Sum 41 video ever.

it caught the concept of the song perfectly. the robot goes out into the world, finds out its not that great then come back home

It's a departure, and the video has style.

Great Video!

Like a combination of Still Waiting (trashing the store and all in the end), The Hell Song (the robot, especially the part where he's on skateboard reminds me the dolls) and Underclass Hero (just the mature feeling and the way the sums look, the external look as well as the fact its their second video as a trio).

Yeah, it was a great Sum 41 video. Way better and more original than the video for Underclass Hero.

it shows the 4 sides of sum 41.

1. that they can creat a beautiful song
2. they are still their old selves (trashing stuff)
3. funny and great at making piontless concepts
4. can make a great video even out of a silly, metaphorical concept.

Awesome video. I loved the bit where Deryck hit Cone in the ass with the big 1.

I loved the contrast in colours, it was really bright in the toy store and then really neutral outside.

The bit with the 2 lost toys was sad and sweet. Like the robot and the teddy bear?

i thought they showed them performing a little to much, i wanted to see the robot get into more trouble

but its still an awesome video

^Alright, seriously. We ALL really need to get over this. Dave isn't in the band anymore, and he won't be in any more Sum 41 videos. It's been over a year. Move on and deal with it.

started off great, after 30-45 seconds I was thinking, "allright, great video. this could be the best one they ever made", but when the fast part begun it sank like a rock. the toy store was too much, if you have to perform at all, i dont think thats a necessity for a video, dont do it in the toy store. it sort of took away the feel of the video that i thought was great. the store was too bright and happy, too many colors, i mean, it's a sort of mellow song.

i wouldve liked it if they had used a more low-tech robot than this one. had heard beforehand the concept of the video and i was imagining sort of an 80's feel robot, if you know what i mean. large, probably man-sized, humanoid square thing, this one felt like too much of a joke.
and lastly, hmm, trashing the set... it feels familiar. where oh where have i seen this before

lots of opinion, feel free to disagree and discuss it with me

it's not like they're going to just call up Dave and say 'hey buddy, wanna be in the new video?'
