Music video
A video was made for the single featuring the band performing in an abandoned warehouse as a carnival of oddities parades behind them. Les Claypool is dressed as a fat, tuxedo-wearing pig playing an upright bass, Larry LaLonde as an 80's glam rocker, and Tim Alexander in a kabuki attire. Claypool's wife and her twin sister are also featured.
Due to logistical issues, the video had to be shot in one single continuous take. Claypool said he put his "heart and soul" into the video, but it received next to no airtime on MTV. In an interview with Guitar World magazine, Claypool disparaged the channel's unwillingness to air the video, saying "it got played like six times."[2] It did, however, receive some airplay on Headbangers Ball.[3] "The Making of Mr. Krinkle" was released on Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People.
"Mr. Krinkle" did not chart in the U.S.
