Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time- Panic! At The Disco Video Review







Pop rock sensation Panic! At The Disco have finally released the highly anticipated video for their track "Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time." 

"Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time" is the second track off of Panic!'s 5th album " Death Of A Bachelor" that was released earlier this year.

In term's of weird scary sci fi shit, this music video really ticks all of the boxes. It might seem sweet and innocent from the start but if you know Brendon Urie, you know nothing with him is ever as straightforward as it seems. If what you're into is weird transforming space octopuses then look no further as i've found the perfect video for you.

Supposedly, the song is about a drunken night out where Brendon wakes up and he has no idea who he is or who he is with. He tries to recall his wild night as comes to the conclusion that these kind's of nights are the best and they shouldn't be used as warnings hence the phrase "Don't threaten me with a good time."

Back to the video. The video is styled very much on a movie. The opening credits and movie roll sound effect's make it very clear that the video is going to tell a story. The whole video is told through out main character's point of view. 



The story starts with our main character getting ready and going to a night club. As she makes her way to the bar she meets our character who is played by Brendon Urie. His character start' to flirt with her. At first she seems reluctant but she soon gives in and they drink a lot together before finally reaching the dance floor.




This is when our music explodes. Using many different quick cut shots, the story continues to show us how well our two characters are getting along. They show us shot's of them dancing and just having a all round great time together.

Going into our second verse, thing's start to take a dramatic twist. Brendon's character realizes that this girl is in fact, not human at all. He starts to walk away but she follows him, enticing him back in. Confused and bedazzled he decides to drink some more before eventually being taken back to our main character's house. Completely wasted, Brendon's character get's chucked around the place whilst slowly getting undressed. Thinking he's in for a really good time, he ends up on the bedroom floor, only to find out that he's actually come home with a space octopus.



Quickly, dashing down the stairs, he looks for a way to escape. He picks up a lamp and chucks it straight at the octopus. Of course, octopuses have sucky tentacles meaning our octopus just grabbed the light, before swinging it back round and knocking Brendon's character clean out. Before he can fully wake up again, he get's dragged away by the octopus. Vulnerably, he's left hanging in the octopus's arms. As the music erupts, so does Brendon's character as a tentacle goes straight through his skinny little body.

Finally, his dead caucus is eaten and our octopus friend transforms into Brendon, ready to start his whole process over and over again.

If you're waiting to see Brendon in High Heel's and a chiffon skirt, then prepare to be disappointed because this video is a whole new level of crazy.
