Foo Fighters
Jesse Peretz — a founding member of The Lemonheads before turning director — helped the Foo Fighters shoot a flawless, shot-for-shot parody of the Mentos "Freshmaker" ads, with custom-printed "Footos" wrappers matching the Mentos font exactly. A radical pivot from early-90s grunge visuals, it won Best Group Video at the 1996 VMAs — and was so successful that fans pelted the band with actual Mentos at shows, dangerous enough that they stopped playing the song live for years.
