[01]
The video opens with a shot of an image of Shrek on a laptop screen, then abruptly cuts to a man in a Lord Farquaad costume making an angry face. He then steps back to reveal the full costume and performs an energetic, comedic dance to a 2Pac rap song for the remainder of the video.

The Confrontational Reveal

The Ironic Performance
