Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "Skip to the Good Bit" was first released onto YouTube on 9 October 2013 at a total length of four minutes and five seconds.[1] The music video is set in a school where the duo play students in a science class. After the teacher leaves with one of the female teachers and makes out with her in a cupboard and are caught out by the janitors, the duo make a love potion which the other students drink and causes them to start kissing each other. The duo then leave the classroom and go off to the staff room where an end of term party is being held and they spike the punch with the potion and the guests drink and dance along to the song. The duo also play other characters in the video, Jordan plays the science teacher while Harley plays one of the school's janitors alongside British actor Will Poulter. The video also features Irish TV presenter Laura Whitmore and actress Gemma Atkinson as guests at the party.
