=== Summary === [[File:Paranoid Android video.png|thumb|The video's protagonist, Robin.]] Like ''Robin'', the "Paranoid Android" video is drawn in a simplistic style that emphasises bold colours and clear, strong lines.<ref name="Footman, 160" /> It features Robin and his friend Benjamin venturing into the world, running into miserable [[European Union|EU]] representatives, bullying pub patrons, a prostitute, kissing leathermen, a drug addict, deranged businessmen, mermaids, and an angel who plays table tennis with Robin. The band appears in cameo at a bar, where they drink while watching a man with a head coming out of his belly dancing on their table.<ref>Tate, 2005. pp. 58β59, p. 68.</ref> However, in this cameo only the versions of Yorke and Jonny Greenwood resemble themselves;<ref name="Footman, 160" /> O'Brien said "If you freeze-frame it on the video, the guy with the five strands of hair slicked back, that's Colin. It looks nothing like him."<ref>Randall, 2000. p. 168.</ref> Colin Greenwood said "there was no way that we could appear in it to perform in it because that would be so [[Spinal Tap (band)|Spinal Tap]]" and that having animations that did not resemble the band members allowed the video to be "twisted and colourful which is how the song is anyway".<ref name="Glover">{{cite magazine |last=Glover |first=Adrian |date=August 1997 |title=Radiohead β Getting More Respect |magazine=[[Circus (magazine)|Circus]] <!--|url=http://colin-greenwood-interviews.blogspot.com/2007/04/circus-magazine-81997.html-->}}</ref>
