Hot Chip's new Peter Serafinowicz-directed video for "Don't Deny Your Heart" is just the best

Peter Serafinowicz confirmed that he might be the funniest man on the planet over the weekend with his new video for Hot Chip’s “Don’t Deny Your Heart,” his third and possibly best collaboration with the group.
The clip starts off simply enough, with the band playing what looks like a normal game of video game soccer before devolving into absolute insanity. With some expertly made machinima, the game of footy quickly turns into massive inter-dimensional dance routines, a giant space-mouth spits out hordes of soccer balls and then, out of nowhere, a tender, prolonged make-out session breaks out. Basically, it’s an extended version of this well-circulated FIFA 12 physics glitch, only with Serafinowicz’s stellar voice acting and a better back-beat.
ICYMI, the band also worked with Serafinowicz on “Night & Day” and “I Feel Better,” below, which might be the best video I’ve ever seen.
