Video Still Waiting (Sum 41 song)

Music video

The video, directed by Marc Klasfeld, starts with the boys entering the office of a record executive (played by Will Sasso). The executive is on the phone and ends his call by saying "I gotta go, I think I'm about to get mugged." (a joke concerning the band's ragged appearance). After Sum 41 enters his office, the band asks him if he liked the new album. He says he has not heard it yet but he guesses it is all sort of songs about skateboarding and getting dumped (referring to the band's change in sound with the new album). He said he called them in because the "number band thing" is out and lists examples Blink-182 and "Green Day 75" (SR-71 are listed in a different cut, but it was never used). He says "The" is the new thing (mocking the garage rock revival of the early 2000s) and changes their name to "The Sums" and the members' individual names (Deryck is "Sven", Cone is "Thurston", Dave is "Holmes" and Stevo is "Sergio"). He then throws Stevo a pack of cigarettes, because drinking and smoking is the "in" thing. The set is a spoof of The Strokes and The Vines and includes various images of arcade games. At the start of the last chorus, Deryck breaks the choreography and starts trashing his equipment and Dave, Cone and Steve do the same thing. The video ends with the four band members pushing down The Sums' name behind them.

Apart from the introduction, the performance was recorded at 30 frames per second (on video) as if it was a live performance.
