Internets Celebrity Dallas Penn did the unthinkable, putting Doctor Doom and MF Doom together for this music video, something so simple and obvious that no one has thought to do it before. Upon your first viewing you expect stop-motion animation with Doom walking through the city, but you quickly realize what you're watching is The Doctor just rapping in different locations.
You look right into his face, instead of the background where the "action" is taking place, Doom's clutching hand the only emotion you get from the Latverian dictator. Subtleties make the video more than what it seems, talk of the recession illustrated by Dr. Doom's hand clutching the Time's Square Virgin Megastore logo.
The slight changes in Doom's pose look like they really convey different parts of the song. He isn't just a toy placed on a street, he is MF Doom rapping in the middle of traffic, cars not hitting him because they are only stuntmen who have been hired, no one looks at the camera because they are extras paid to just walk around minding their own business.
Similar to AMVs, I can see toy music videos catching on, nerds breaking out their oldest and rarest super hero and G.I. Joe figures to make Souljaboy videos. The new wave of "digging" will be dusty hands sorting through dirty boxes at yard sales, hoping to discover that impossible to find legendary Rouge with "accidental" pubic hair.
