Music video

The video, directed by Lex Halaby, shows McCoy, Ivarsson, Saporta and Beckett walking through Honolulu International Airport, acting as if they were villains hired by Eddie Kim sneaking snakes on board in their suitcase and guitar case. They are able to pass through security when Ivarsson distracts the airport worker by taking off her jacket. Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy makes a cameo appearance, talking on a payphone nervously as the band members pass ominously. Samuel L. Jackson also makes a cameo appearance, lowering his shades and eyeing the band members as they pass, unaware of the true contents inside their cases before returning to his 100 Bullets comic. He is also seen wearing the unofficial Snakes on a Plane T-shirt designed by webcomic artist Jeffrey Rowland. The video ends with a sign for South Pacific Airlines Flight 121 as the band boards the plane, the same flight as in the film.
The video was filmed in Burbank, California.
