Blink-182's 'All The Small Things' video is a parody of many pop music videos of the time. The band are notorious for the sense of humour and this video sums them up. They don't take themselves seriously at all, with scenes in this video of them embarrassing themselves by taking the mickey out of typical boy band cliche's. The whole mise-en-scene is mocking that of artist's such as Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, with direct scene's immitated from their videos.
A direct quote from guitarist Tom DeLonge about the video says "We want to do a video that's like, directly like a boy band video, because we figure we're just as hot and we look good wet and we dance and we can fit in tight clothes just like everyone else, you know" which sums up what the video is about. The bands mocking style is well critically acclaimed, with them winning several awards for the video, showing that the parody was popular at the time.
