Hot Chip: I Feel Better

Music videos allow artist to convey profound emotion : Joy . Sorrow . Bliss . Anger . It ’s also able , in rare example , of making you nigh relieve oneself your bloomers with laughter . Such is the case with Hot Chip ’s classic 2010 video recording for I Feel Better .

The video recording starts off with a slick performance from a fictional boy band call off Hot Chip , a 2000s - geological era crew with names like Popeye and Octavian who posture and dance for a group of screaming Millennial fan . Pretty typical stuff and nonsense , until the entrance of a white - robed religious mystic in the configuration of British comedian Ross Lee , who consume the soul of the banding while fans — include the less - manicure , real - life ring Hot Chip — attend on in revulsion .

Things only step up from there . It ’s one of the eldritch , funniest video recording I ’ve ever seen , and even though it ’s four years old , I find myself returning to it when I need to express joy . [ YouTube ]
