The music video is available [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F57P9C4SAW4 here]].
* AutoTune: The ending of the song where Katy repeatedly calls out "California!" is rather exaggeratedly auto-tuned, putting Katy's vocals in the background to ensure focus on Snoop Dogg's ending remarks.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Sugar Daddy spends most of ''Candyfornia'' overlooking the board and rolling dice, until Katy and the Queens get to the end of the board to confront him.

The music video, in contrast, goes in a very different direction. It stars Katy Perry as the unnamed main character, a player piece in a board game called ''Candyfornia''. In Candyfornia, Katy must rescue trapped women called Queens of Candyfornia and has to confront the main villain, the Sugar Daddy (played by Snoop Dog).
