On September 29, 2006, the music video for "Gone Daddy Gone" premiered on MTV, MTV2 and Much Music. Directed by Chris Milk, the video features vocalist Cee-Lo, producer Danger Mouse, and the orchestra as fleas who spot a lovely giant woman (played by Danish model Nina Bergman) and chase her, getting slaughtered one by one. A video was also made for "Who Cares?", featuring Mario Van Peebles as a bored Blacula unsuccessfully hitting the bars for a victim, doing routine errands, and finally attacking a young man and watching TV with him.
