Choosing My Best Friend

Choosing my best friend: Popular guy Funny guy Friendly co-worker My barber Racist schizo online

What it means

A cinematic video shows a man walking through a dark, futuristic tunnel while different potential best friends are labeled around him: the popular guy, funny guy, friendly co-worker, and barber. He ultimately walks toward the light as “Racist schizo online,” making the punchline a darkly absurd choice of an obviously toxic online friend. Robert Miles’s dreamy trance track “Children” gives the scene an epic, emotional mood that comically overdramatises the ridiculous final choice.
