music video directed by Dutch digital artist Han Hoogerbrugge. The website Stereogum described it as a “horizontally scrolling animated video [that] is part Sonic The Hedgehog (dated video game reference!) and part Pac Man (chomping down on hearts, shamrocks, and cash money), with a lineup of Chrisses, Neils, and others shouting, flexing, unmasking, and turning into draculas.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication [Official Music Video]
directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, takes the form of a fictional 3D video game from the third-person point of view of each of the band members, all on some sort of adventure; this varies with each band member. The video itself contains many homages to video games of its time, such as Crazy Taxi in Kiedis’s sequences and Kiedis’s swimming scenes, and SSX in Chad’s snowboarding scenes. The music video is similar to some games that were mostly sandbox/open-world-based gameplay. The music video for “Californication” is the group’s most watched on YouTube, with over 626 million views.
