* Possibly the [[Ur Example]] and one of the most iconic examples, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMD7Ezp3gWc "I Wanna Be Sedated"] by [[The Ramones]]. Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Marky sit around eating cornflakes and reading while a bunch of people enter the room and go wild. Includes a blink-and-you-miss it cameo from [[Courtney Love]]. Almost the [[Trope Namer]] before being rejected for obscurity. |

* The other iconic example, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2lbiS1fris "Numb"] by [[U 2]]. The Edge sits and drones the lyrics while random stuff happens to him (the other guys tie him up, somebody [[Fan Service|cuts off his shirt]], a young girl slaps him, a belly dancer appears out of nowhere). Aside from being probably their funniest video, the concept perfectly complements the song's lyrics about inability to cope with information overload and withdrawal. |
