Synopsis

Green Day perform "Stuck With Me" with their usual frantic energy in stark black-and-white footage. Close-ups of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool are intercut with surreal animated imagery, creating a visual counterpart to the song's abrasive punk attack. The animation draws from the nightmarish collage world associated with the band's *Insomniac* artwork, shifting the video away from a straightforward performance clip and toward a fast, disorienting blend of live action and underground comic-book imagery.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video's animated sequences use imagery created by artist Winston Smith for *Insomniac*. The album artwork is known as "God Told Me To Skin You Alive."

• Smith's visual style had already been closely associated with the band's darker post-*Dookie* aesthetic, making the video feel like an extension of the album packaging rather than a separate visual concept.

• The performance footage is presented in black and white, while the animated material supplies the video's most grotesque and surreal visual elements.

• "Stuck With Me" was released in 1995 as part of the *Insomniac* campaign. The video was later included in the band's *International Supervideos!* collection, released in 2001.

• The song was also included on the Japanese live EP *Foot in Mouth*, alongside "Geek Stink Breath."
