“what’s with this dog motif?”

kind of captivated by the selection of this clip for use in the context of Famous Jay. because it's originally a part of a Brave Shores music video (for Surf's Up, I believe), and like, yeah makes sense to pull from pre-existing music videos, allows you to show Famous Jay at a slightly younger age to further imply he's had a long career, and it's convenient to have pre-recorded footage of Jay essentially being a rockstar so that you don't have to go film more. also kind of awesome to remember that he was in a fairly successful band. he did live this life to a very toned down degree--there's some truth to the matter of Famous Jay

but, of all the clips you could pull of all the Brave Shores music videos, including just other clips from this music video (admittedly, they also made use of this from More Like You (I LOVE YOU, MORE LIKE YOU!), wonder if there's something to be said for the distortion of Jay there)

of all the clips, one that they chose to use was Jay kicking a mouse wearing a little hat. and I just find that very interesting. because, unless Jay was coincidentally also mad at Matt for something that day, I don't think kicking a mouse with a little hat Meant anything when it was filmed. it's just part of a silly (TRIPPY at points!) little video of him and Stef interacting with cartoon animals
