    It is an extremely well marketed, not terribly creative video

People are always trying to get creative with boobs, dressing them up with different pasties and piercings or whatever. They're classic for a reason. No need to mess with the formula.

For real though, I hope that kids won't start copying this guy's style and manner (as it is in the video. Maybe he's . . . better(?) in real life?). His presence, the other guy's presence and Pharrell's goofy face detracted from that video immensely, but I guess their presence was the only thing that made it a "music" video instead of one of those, "on the set" videos that accompany magazine shoots to bolster sales.
