Almost always PlayedForLaughs. Understandable, since it's not a concept that lends itself easily to drama. Or if it does, it tends to tumble into {{Narm}}. See also InactionSequence.

* [[Music/Icehouse]] had two releases for ''Crazy''; the Australian release has frontman Ida Davies wandering around a derelict industrial site with various dangerous things going on behind him, including random welding, grinding, pyrotechnics, an idiot or two on motorcycles, a vehicle crashing into a column right next to him; all without him apparently noticing until a truck runs into him, at which point the two girls who have followed him throughout the whole video at a respectable distance scavenge his jacket.

* The other iconic example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2lbiS1fris "Numb"]] by Music/{{U2}}. The Edge sits and drones the lyrics while random stuff happens to him (the other guys tie him up, somebody [[FanService 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.

* Music/SineadOConnor's video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-EF60neguk Nothing Compares 2 U]]" is basically her singing the song in front of the camera. It won her the MTV Video Music Awards in 1990.

Times like this call for the Inaction Video. The concept behind such a video is remarkably simple: the band or the FaceOfTheBand stand around motionless or calmly perform their song while the background's dedicated to either {{Funny Background Event}}s or a [[WildTeenParty wild party]] with lots of people. The key here being that the band never acknowledges their surroundings and just does their own thing independent of what's going on while looking completely bored/disinterested/high. May involve an extreme WeirdnessCensor. Usually they LeaveTheCameraRunning.
