Britney Spears’ new video is way cooler than it should be

March 12th, 2008 // 135 Comments

Britney Spears’ brand new video for “Break the Ice” debuted today. Like I posted yesterday the thing is all kinds of crazy anime and was supposedly Britney’s idea. I seriously doubt she has a single clue what’s going down in this video but it’s, admittedly, kind of badass. She probably just stared at the pretty colors and clapped her hands until someone brought her a cookie. Coincidentally, for her next video, Britney wants to be played by an Oreo which, for the sake of accuracy, will be Double Stuffed.

Thanks to Paul who’s a Fullmetal Hardass.

  1. peeps

    I’d love to see the meeting record exes, producers and the director had with her. There’s NO WAY she came up with this. Here’s what the jerks in charge prolly said. Peopl in showbiz speak nohing but lies and bullshit so I have taken the time to translate for you. You’re welcome.

    “Look Britney”
    (batshit crazy lady with the mental capacity of an eggplant)
    “you’ve had so much exposure lately ”
    (especially since you showed the world your cootch)
    “and the paparazzi has been all over you”
    (especially since you started fucking one of them)
    “and there’s been so much of your personal life in the media”
    ( because you behave like a deranged mental patient on a pathetic mission to humiliate yourself for life and destroy everything you’ve ever had)
    “We think we should try something new ”
    (people are sick of looking at you, especially because you’re ugly now)

    “and maybe with something different we can create a whole new image”
    (you’re fat and you look fucking awful and no amount of makeup or airbrushing change that).
    “Your sound is so unique so we want to try something completely original for your next video”
    (your sound is old, lame and overdone so we’re going to copy Aliyaah because she can’t sue us, funny it’s shocking that she isn’t alive today and yet you are).
    “So we thought we’d do something animated ”
    (we’re going to pray that using a cartoon image of a chick who is hotter than you EVER were will make people forget what a hideous mess you’ve become long enough to make us greedy bastards some more money).
    “This will put you back on top Britney”
    (you’re our batshit crazy money train but, just remeber you won’t profit from this and you’ll never be a success again).
    “This is the begining of something amazing Miss. Spears
    ( could you put your clothes back on and please do that in the bathroom ,also how soon can you leave).
    “thank you for your phenomenal creative input”
    (here are your crayons, thank you for drawing a mural of “unicorns” (which just looks like scribbles) on the wall of our brand new conference room)
    Shakes Britney’s hand as a sign of goodwill
    (gives Britney the hair extensions she pulled out and threw acroos the room while the meeting was in progress)

  2. Definitely GITS ripoff. First Adult Swim drops 90% of their anime, now this. Kill me.

  3. LBot

    You know she has to turn to anime because she cant loose the weight or give up that bucket of KFC….that Fing porker

  4. Miaoudeminou

    Anyone else think that they completely ripped off Aeon Flux?

  5. boo

    #101 That was excellent

  6. Ghost Dog

    Why couldn’t this video have her slashing her way through paparnazis with samurai swords I mean it isn’t like there wasn’t already plenty of material to go with.

    That’s what I’d prefer to see.

  7. Hal Forsstrom

    Who cares if it rips off GITS or AF? Seriously, I just watched an Idoru-style Britt make out with a cybernetic replica of herself behind a giant test tube, give a guy some sort of cyber STD, fight a giant flaming K-fed (?) and a battalion of glo-stick bearing Riot Police. Then shit blows up and she flies out of the building like the Millenium Falcon out of the Death Star. If this thing keeps going and going, it could be my next TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET.

  8. Sey

    Hilarious that it was actually well done anime, but ridiculously too similar to the ghost in the shell intro. That is hilarious that they will not release i on youtube yet, and are taking all copyright infringments down pretty quick. >>…. I hate to say it but omfg – just die already brit. Yes i saw the video piece of me, whilst searching for this vid on youtube – and everyone wants to take a piece of her because shes an idiot and i keep thinking surely everyone is tired of seeing her right??? Ty for not appearing in this since yes your tummy is still saggy as in p.o.m. She did used to be beautiful, and if other leading ladies can work on it – you would think that even post babies she could manage as well to show off to the world.

  9. The Comedian

    I’m going on lack of sleep for four days straight, I’m slightly delirious, and still I recognize the fact that this video is the equivalent of a late-term abortion.

  10. Abdo

    Go to hell Superfish
    That video rocks!
    It reminds me of the Daft Punk Thing
    It’s so cool

  11. Kimberly

    You called a Britney Spears video badass?! What is this world coming to?!?!

    I doubt she had much say in the creativity process. She probably just said, “Ya’ll know what I think we should do. I should be, like, a sexy, skinny cartoon, ya’ll. . . . . .ya’ll.” *Slurp* *Munch* Then walked away while her team got to brainstorming.

  12. twzzlrgirl

    LOL — the oreo will be double stuffed…..

    Shot Pepsi through my nose on that one.

  13. Oberon

    The video actually syncs up pretty well with OK GO’s INVINCIBLE. Turn Britney down and check it out.

  14. smelly

    that would have been some good anime if that shit song wasnt playing in the background. they are taking the focus of how shithouse the song is by giving it an interesting flim clip.

  15. boodiba

    I hope she gets treatment and gets her shit together & proves all the heaters to be merely jealous & pathetic.

  16. wtf? that op scene with the blond chick wrapped in shreds of pink was SO Sailor Moon…

  17. sephy

    #4, 14, 73, This is in fact a sequel to the Toxic video.
    its completely different to the aaliyah video.
    and there is little to no chance that anime these days could be original, and even then i wouldnt want an original idea to be wasted on a music video.

  18. null

    clearly she didn’t show up at all for the video shoot, and someone said “maybe we should just do it all in animation?” Simple as that.

    Ultimately? Boring as fuck.

  19. The fight scenes are practically lifted from Elfin Lied, too. And I thought Kappa Mikey sucked ass…

  20. Doshii

    Quit hating, otaku. Ms. Spears is probably an otaku too, considering her Toxic video, and frankly, it’s kinda cool. Just enjoy it and quit being so indie about it.

  21. fatso

    the song sucks, and this cartoon has nothing to do with it. anime is lame.

  22. susan

    I didn’t like the video, but like the song. She’s a professionally trained dancer out of school in Newy York by her IMD page and now with the 3rd hit off her new album that actually sounds good, I’d say she made a decent come back. Sorry for all you haters, but it’s true, she appears to have talent, but now if she’d only quit being a pole dancer, she would be really good.

  24. HAHAHAHAHAHA

    A DECENT COME BACK?!?!? A comeback of any kind requires that the “artist” in question actually SHOWS UP. As proven by her less than half-assed, unrehearsed, drunk off her ass VMA “performance”, and now this piece of crap, Britney herself doesn’t give a shit about her “career” anymore. So why does anyone else?

  25. Plobes

    song is shite. what the hell is she saying? and stop with the spoken parts. u sound like a retarded, crazy baby. and stop with the singing partz

    and vid does not sync up with the song at all!!!!

    overall score of: CRAPULENT PUSTULAMA!

  26. Han

    You could make that exact same video using clips from ghost in the shell or any other anime with similar styling.

    In fact – search youtube in a while and you’ll find people who’ve made their own version from existing anime already!

  27. britney spears needs to stay the fuck out of my anime.

    (that animation is nice though)

    “Groan! I hate anime! This video was way better than Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop and ur pokemans because there was a good twenty minutes or so less of it to suffer through.”

    WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???

    Do you even KNOW what you’re TALKING about!??

    There was a Ghost in the Shell movie before there was ever a Ghost in the shell half hour series.

    But damn if the series went over your head you must be pretty daft, punk.

  29. cynth

    BRITNEY sock-em rock-em bad zombie dudes! My verdict: it’s cool. Good luck to Brit-brit in her recovery — MWAH! Love ya Britney!

  30. Alita

    I am glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed it looks just like Ghost in the Shell, so people should stop saying it’s “so original”

  31. austriangold

    I love Britney! I really like this song

  32. trixie jones

    i dont think this is really the video

  33. ice

    not as good as her ‘Hot As Ice’ she should make a video for that song….

  34. kay kupcake

    lmfao, i’ve never giggled so much in my life. Anime blows, Britney is psycho, and her album is surprisingly good thanks to technology that edits her voice, and the people who write her lyrics and music. good job everybody. They definitly tackled the viewers they wanted. Now next time lets shoot for a different audience, you know, people who don’t sit on the couch eating cheetos, with the x-box head set on, wishing their backs weren’t covered in acne, and some day hoping they’ll feel a womans warmth.
