* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: The video ends with three in a row for Baldes (the bassist), Allen (the drummer), and Jeremy (lead guitar). They're all SwallowedWhole by a giant woman.]] Each of the three guys deaths are undignified in different ways. Baldes chose to stand on Vallery's lips, which makes it easy for her to eat him and makes him look [[TooDumbToLive stupid.]] After that the surviving members are running run for their lives, but Allen is easily caught by the woman and starts pathetically putting up his hands hands, pleading not to be eaten, only for her to ignore him and callously eat him anyway. Then Jeremy spends his last moments [[CowerPower cowering]] behind a speaker while Vallery sneaks up on him. And after ''he'' tries to plead for his life life, she slurps him up and casually spits out one of his shoes.]]

* ClungOnTight: The members of Music/{{Lit}} are on a Giant Woman ([[Series/{{VIP}} Vallery Irons]]/[[Creator/PamelaAnderson Pam Anderson]]) and are performing on different parts of her body. While they are performing on one of her shoes [[note]]she's laying down with her foot poised in the air[[/note]], she shakes her foot, and the guys have to desperately try to keep their footing. When they fail to fall off, she simply looks away and rolls her eyes, seemingly annoyed. So instead of trying to force them off her, she waits until they are playing on her face. While one guy is standing on her lips.

Which is when she [[spoiler: abruptly opens her mouth, causing him to fall inside and get eaten right in front of his friends]], who proceed to get off her and run for their lives.



* EpicRiff: As the song nears the final chorus, there's a prominent electric guitar solo that slowly starts to build up in pace towards the BigRockEnding. In the video, this is accompanied by shots of Pam/Vallery [[ThreeMinutesOfWrithing writhing]] slowly to the music and the band framed [[BetweenMyLegs between her legs]] before cutting to the band lined up on her face, with the bassist standing on her lips. The riff ends right as the bassist falls in, alerting the others.

the previous folders were too small, but taking them out and just adding needless A Cs isn't the way either. I added folders back but only two instead of three, split down the middle (roughly).

* FeminineLegSwish: [[Series/{{VIP}} Val]] the [[GiantWoman giantess]] (played by famous sex-symbol Creator/PamelaAnderson) poses this way off and on throughout the video, lying on her stomach with either one or both her legs thrust into the air. She's portrayed as ''very'' feminine in both appearance and mannerisms and is a LustObject for the (notably all-male) band members who are standing on top of her reclining body. Her legs are subjected to a lot of MaleGaze throughout the video via the camera panning over them or treating them to extreme close-ups. At one point, while her leg is in the air and the band is standing [[StrangeStage on top of her platform heels]] she rather playfully shakes her foot causing the guys to almost fall off. This may have actually been an InvokedTrope on the Val's part since [[spoiler:she plans on eating the guys at the end of the video]] and likely used her femininity to make them lower their guard.

* FearsomeFoot: Perhaps the only time this trope was used both for a sense of dread and some ''fanservice.'' While A.Jay is by himself, [[spoiler:being the SoleSurvivor among his bandmates]], we see one of Val's platform stripper pumps stomp down behind him. This signals [[spoiler: his doom]] since [[spoiler: as soon as he turns around, she picks him up and eats him.]]



* HotPaintJob: Jeremy's signature shoes have white flames decorating the tops.
