^ But he appeared on at least two Priceline commercials with the Shat. And, I don't give a fig darn about Heroes.
I'm not telling you what to think; you might extend me the same courtesy. If you love and enjoy the video, fantastic.
It's a funny video. If you don't like it, then fine.
I kind of feel the opposite. I'd never heard of the artist before I saw the link for this video somewhere and became interested because of Nimoy's involvement. I couldn't help but feel some affection for the song because of the way Nimoy's actions seemed to make it funnier. Basically, I feel like his presence in the music video and the way he's used in it elevates the song immensely.
It's like the Weezer music video for "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To". The song isn't much better than the rest of their post-1990s output, which is mostly junk, but the funniness of the music video makes the song a little more palatable.
I haven't really cared or heard about music videos in years. I remember a time when people would constantly be getting excited about an artist doing a creative new music video, and music videos were being made by people who are now proving to be quite visually dynamic movie directors.
The lack of buzz over music videos in recent years had me believing the form was pretty much dead as an artistic medium, but this proves to me there's still life in it yet. I guess it's a little weird to react with such serious contemplation to a music video that is basically just the same joke being repeated for several minutes, but I really loved it that much.
That video is all kinds of awesome. Pissing in the sink, shoving the neighbour out of the way, buying filthy magazines at the store, Shatner on every channe, what's not to love?
I love that video.
Away with you and your voodoo magic.
Although I usually can't stand Bruno Mars, I don't mind this song too much. If anything it's the television version of the video I can't stand (Bruno Mars dancing with guys in monkey masks). I mean seriously, the song is about having the day off and just wanting to fuck off and not give a shit about life, but we got Bruno Mars looking all neat and tidy and his usual pretty boy self. The Nimoy version, with ragged and scruffy looking Nimoy walking around public in his bath robe giving people the finger and eating food directly off the grocery store's shelf fits the song a lot better.
I just saw this for the first time yesterday. It's hilarious. Almost as good as "Bilbo Baggins." 
Kind of reminds me of the time Christopher Walkin did a video....
And I never heard of Bruno Mars before, but this song is pretty good for contemporary music.

Ah, yes, another celebrity classic.
Good video, but I'm completely indifferent to the song. I don't like it or hate it. But the video's great.
Ah, yes, another celebrity classic.
Oh yes...

^^ Oh, that just cracks me up every time. 
Too bad it's not available in my country.
