Josh Baines of Vice, however, gave it a negative review and said that it `` sounds like something you 'd hear on an advert for a new dishwasher ''. Music video The music video features an extremely lazy man who has created a series of contraptions that enable him to go through his daily routine without moving at all. The video begins two shots of a bath with a green hosepipe covering the tap. We then see a transparent pipe in the toilet, with what appears to be urine flowing through it ; the camera follows the pipe all the way back to the man, who is urinating into it while sitting on a sofa. He pulls a number of levers with different labels on them, such as `` Coffee '', `` Eggs '' and `` Toast ''. He also leans back and has a shower wash his hair automatically, after which it is dried by a hair dryer and combed. The man then presses a button which activates a remote - controlled car ( or `` robot '', as it is referred to in the video ). As it collects his breakfast, he starts lies on his side and begins watching TV, but ca n't find anything on that is worth watching, so he pulls another lever which is labelled `` Video '' ; this results in a robotic arm pushing a video labelled `` X-Press 2 '' into the VCR. The video plays a workout video called `` XPress - ercise 2 '', which features four women in thin black outfits. Upon seeing this, the man likes it and sits up. He uses another robotic arm to pick up the phone and hold it to his ear so that he can call someone. As the robot arrives with breakfast, it malfunctions, and stops just outside the man 's reach. In response, the man hangs up the phone and stretches to reach the food, but falls off the sofa. Looking to his right, he sees a half - eaten Snickers which is covered in dust. Not wanting to stand up and collect his toast, eggs and coffee and continuing to have no luck stretching for them, he grabs the Snickers and starts eating it. Live performances During a performance on Top of the Pops, X-Press 2 sat on a bunk bed and at a desk.
