Watch the Corners

Video for the single ‘Watch The Corners’ from I Bet On Sky.

Directed by The Director Brothers
Produced by Sean Boyle / Funny Or Die

Description via Spin “In the video for “Watch the Corners,” Dinosaur Jr. take on the role of pixelated protectors, obscuring faces like a local news exposé to shield the guilty from public shame — in this case, underage drinkers and teenage mischief-makers. Directed by The Director Brothers, the clip stars Tim Heidecker (of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!) as a concerned dad watching his daughter spiral into youthful rebellion. After landing a job at a grocery store, she falls for a goofy, liquor-swiping, skateboard-riding stock boy. As she watches him juggle fruit and break rules, she becomes smitten.

At home, she tunes into an equally censored Dinosaur Jr. performance on TV, as J Mascis groans about “no forgiveness” — a sentiment her dad likely shares. Things escalate when she hooks up with the slacker, emerging with some suggestive pixelated smudges on her face, sending her father into a rage. The teen romance unravels after the boy flirts with another girl, plunging the daughter into heartbreak. In a climactic moment of dad-fueled despair, Tim unleashes a hilariously unhinged meltdown in the dairy aisle — all to the backdrop of Mascis’ roaring guitar solo.”
