Music video

The music video for the Hadouken! song M.A.D. shows a man dressed in a mouse outfit being a public menace. The mouse trips on an elderly women, and he tries to flirt the two women on the street, but the two women on the street repel him and walk away because of being a public menace. The mouse goes into the shop to buy a bottle of alcoholic cider from the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper refuses to sell an alcohol to him, among other things, and that causes the mouse to beat him up. The mouse drinks a bottle of alcoholic cider, and finally, a man dressed in a cat outfit being a public hero chases and wins a fight against the mouse.[5]

The music video was directed by Martyn Thomas with Tim Mo'Gridge as director of photography & produced by Marie Claire Denyer. George Herse portrayed the mouse, and Tom Harris portrayed the cat.[6]
