Does Childish Gambino’s Creepiness Get The Girl? Watch.
In his new video for ‘Sober,’ we find Childish Gambino—aka Donald Glover, if anyone’s still unclear—in a classic music video trope: dancing his ass off to get the girl. She’s creeped out at first, and rightfully so: the dude looks pretty fucked up, stumbling all over the restaurant, making some surprising bold (supernatural, even) moves to get her attention. If this is a continuation of the narrative that came with Gambino’s ‘Because the Internet’ album, then maybe the dude in this video is a character who women just can’t seem to get too close to—he is a tentacled monster, after all.
