The video has been criticized for its treatment of the toddler who appears to be truly frightened throughout the video, although it is stated on the MGMT website, "No children were harmed in the making of this video." Stereogum noted that the video "essentially polarized everyone old enough (but not too old) to know what the internet is." While MTV noted that "They really don’t make videos like this any more … mostly for legal reasons", The band later released a "behind the scenes" video through their official YouTube channel that shows the toddler laughing while interacting with the puppets and actors in monster costumes.

After that, the toddler is seen in his crib, as monsters suddenly appears and show their claws at him. Then, a crudely designed countdown sequence from five to one plays, with a rapid set of fuzzy, low-quality pictures of children in the background.

The video follows a toddler menaced by monsters that his inattentive mother (played by Joanna Newsom) cannot see. It was directed by Ray Tintori, who directed MGMT's previous videos for " Time to Pretend" and " Electric Feel." The video was released to the Oracular Spectacular version.
