The premise
Here’s the bit.
A bright, calendar-themed music video follows three men whose confidence in a fresh start quickly collapses. One plans to get in shape and give up sweets, another vows to stop drinking, and a third promises to abandon sex toys. Doughnuts, a night out and an inflatable companion soon undo those ambitions. Their next pledge is to quit fantasy role-playing, which immediately gives way to a costumed backyard battle with imaginary spells. After congratulating one another on the game, they postpone self-improvement again. A chorus singer punctuates the failed promises, and the calendar reveals how little of January has passed.
