In the video, they cleverly place stuff from previous attempts in the background, such as:
- Look at what they are wearing -- each take made their white outfits more and more colored.
- Multiple TV's with crashed screens
- A wrecked piano
- Another white board with paint splatter (last shot).

It is very refreshing to see such a video in today's CGI intensive entertainment. That video was much more enjoyable to watch than Avatar and 2012 combined.
