  • From the "On Top of the World" music video:
    • The Reveal that Imagine Dragons never actually went to the moon. After an abrupt loss of the broadcast signal, which also causes the song to stop, Dan Reynolds gets hit by a Visible Boom Mic.
    • That small moment where after Dan kisses his baby daughter Arrow goodbye, Arrow visibly recoils in apparent disgust.
    • The Dance Party Ending, especially because of how annoyed Stanley Kubrick looks due to all those Fangirls breaking into the studio.
  • This fan-produced poster from the band's official store sees Daniel Platzman unable to imagine dragons in the same badass manner as his bandmates.
  • During the Smoke + Mirrors concert in St. Louis in 2015, Dan Reynolds claimed Wayne Sermon never speaks, and that he only communicates through guitar chords. It escalated from there.
    Dan Reynolds: Wayne, listen to me. If there is any love for the world, any hope left for humanity in your cold, dead heart, break your silence. Say something to us now.
    (Wayne leans into microphone)
    Wayne Sermon: No.
  • The band fleeing from the incoming explosion in the video for "It's Time" can be amusing.
  • The video for "Radioactive" opens with people betting on some animal fight, some other people imprisoned under the ring... Then the "animals" are revealed to be plushies. Seriously.
    • The band's melodramatically horrified reactions to the dismembered corpses of the plushies falling on them.
    • Ben McKee finding the body of a plushie that hung itself.
    • The pink teddy bear just mauled by the champion plushie suddenly fills his 'fist' with pink ki, starts flying and beats the champion with a Megaton Punch. Then he sends the betters running by vaporizing the fighting ring boss' mooks with Heat Vision.
    • The video ends with the boss mauled to death by plushies previously crippled by the champion.
  • The video for "Follow You" is Self-Deprecation at its finest. A man wants to see The Killers for his birthday, but his wife takes him to Imagine Dragons instead, much to his annoyance. Throughout the performance, the wife fantasizes about seeing Dan shirtless, with over-the-top poses, but she eventually imagines Dan with her boyfriend's head instead. At the end, the couple leaves, and Dan tries to get them to stay for ten more songs. The couple immediately dismiss this and rush out before they play "Radioactive". The man immediately makes sure that Imagine Dragons wasn't paid. Dan is left looking like a beaten puppy at the end.
  • Their video for "Bones" is probably one of the more goofy ones they've done:
    • Dan's awful wig.
    • Landing some kind of sale, Dan celebrates by strutting into the middle of the office space amidst the cheers of his co-workers and dances in celebration. He even twerks.
    • Zombies suddenly take over the office, including one that looks too giddy about scaring the crap out of Dan just by looming over his shoulder with a shit-eating grin.
    • The big finish is Dan getting possessed by the zombies to lead a Thriller style dance number before he's dragged off to be decapitated. When he's taken away, he seems more concerned about them messing up his hair than anything.
  • "Sharks" has a distorted Evil Laugh in the chorus. It's so over-the-top hilarious. The animated music video makes this even better by featuring a number of shark caricatures of Hollywood figures eating people in over-the-top situations. At one point, a few humans are trapped in an arena in the shark theme park "Land World."
