for some reason the shoutout part didn't feel as cringe-y in the video? still not a fan, but i don't hate it as much as before.

I like the video too! It's very colorful and Katy looks hot! I didn't hate the song, but I didn't like it as a single. The video works well though. I think it was good that they released the video now as she usually does well with her videos. It could help jumpstart the song on radio.

I mean, it was fun. I'm not blown away or anything, but it was just... you know, her. They slashed the budget, but they made it work so I can't fault them for that. Completely forgettable, but otherwise fine for promo of the song. Really liked her looks.
Still enjoy this.

Wasn't a huge fan of the last two videos, but I love this one! My favorite of the era.

After seeing the video, I can't get the song out of my head. i wouldn't be shocked if the video pushes this to the bottom of the Pop Radio Top 10. I'd have a dance mix on hand though and already serviced to radio in case many stations thing the original is too boring.

I hope that the video changes peoples opinions of the song.
Its clear that Katy wasn't being serious with the song. The entire thing was just so ridiculous and over the top that's its funny. Hopefully the average radio listener will be able to pick up on the humor.

I like the video. Katy's videos are best when they're fun, colorful, and not too serious. This delivers in all aspects.

Love the song. Love the video. After hearing it for the first time back when Prism leaked, I remember immediately declaring it her best song ever. Well, not so much now but it's still an incredible ear-candy. I hoped the video would be like this but it's still good the way it is. Hopefully it'll continue the pattern the previous singles formed and become a colossal smash.

Hopefully the average radio listener will be able to pick up on the humor. I doubt there was a single person out that that takes much of what Katy puts out as a serious song, especially this one. Whether or not they find it funny in the way it's intended is another story. I, for one, like this song much better than "Last Friday Night" or even a few other of her singles, but it's still a bit...weak in its execution. Listening to that cover really highlights this point, for me.

I loved the video concept and Katy looks fantastic as usual but neither the concept nor everything else in the video fits the song in any way the song still has to grow on me that twerking ice-cream at the end is everything though

Roar - Catchy song, but burned out due to overplay
Unconditionally - Not a bad song, but certainly shouldn't have been released... it was so boring.
Dark Horse - YAS! Longevity queen! But burned out on this too...
Birthday - Awful song... still hate it. It wasn't even catchy/appealing in any way to me.
This Is How We Do - Great song, love the catchiness! The video is amazing, especially for a slashed budget!!! (THAT TWERKING ICE CREAM <3)

This look is sooooo B52's! Lol So I watched the video... It's fun, had its cute moments like the Aretha and the ice cream twerking, but it ends up being meh and forgettable to me. It certainly makes the song more enjoyable but her boring vocal performance takes me back to being bored quite fast Also she's becoming quite predictable. The whole 'funny' vibe is not working for me anymore. Roar was funny but borderline juvenile. Dark horse went borderline stupid/ignorant. Birthday crossed the obnoxious side. This is not as bad, but it's getting stale... Plus some of the 'jokes' I didn't find funny. Anyway. This is to me just as bad as birthday and I do hope radio stops rimming her ass. That could trigger her and her team to create and release much better singles

Loving the video! Now let's see how it helps the song on charts.
It could be a bit childish to some people but to me it's not "a big deal"

Video is waaaay better than Dark Horse and Birthday. The bridge is rather dull, but the rest is very colorful and eye-appealing. So many great looks that it has great replay value just to check them back out. Good job!
