Line 31:
* [[They Might Be Giants]]' video for ''With the Dark'' has them portrayed by small action figures. They end up being killed and taxidermized by a giant squid.
* A somewhat extreme inversion of this trope is the [[Nine Inch Nails]] video for ''Into The Void'', which consisted for the most part of extreme close-ups of frontman Trent Reznor's face, hair, eyes, and skin.
* [[Korn]]'s video for "Twisted Transistor" replaces the actual band members (Jonathan Davis, Fieldy, David Silveria, and Munky) with four famous rappers ([[Lil Jon]], [[Xzibit]], David Banner, and [[Snoop Dogg]], respectively) for a ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]''-style mockumentary. The actual musicians only appear at the end of the video as music company executives.
* Serj Tankian only appears in two of his twelve videos for his solo album Elect the Dead.
* [[George Michael]] did this on purpose for the videos for singles from ''Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1'', as he didn't want to objectify his person and he was in the middle of arguing with his record label. Due to this, "Praying for Time" features just a static background and the lyrics being shown on screen (there's a good reason you haven't seen it, ever). For the [[Music Videos Of Note|more famous]] "Freedom '90", [[David Fincher]] decided to throw in a bunch of models.
