The saddest installment of Beverly Hills Chihuahua ever honestly

They really said: I'm gonna put your obsessions over Phoebe Bridgers, Normal People, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge all in one little video.

After being rejected by the sexy priest, Fleabag deeply introspected and turned to a life of directing artsy indie-music videos.

The "turn me on, turn me down" line always hits me; the way I interpret it is like this; turning on a car radio, then turning down the music. Keeping it on as background noise; as company, but not something you necessarily want to listen to. This relates to toxic relationships; keeping someone with you just so you're not alone, while not really appreciating or loving them anymore.

Interpretation (This explanation may be a bit incoherent, I never claimed to actually be smart hehe): This song is about an unhealthy relationship where one person (namely Phoebe) is giving too much to try to help the other person, so much that this "help" is actively harming her. This video is just an extension of that idea. The man in the video is a person who takes advantage of others and their kindness, seen through how he takes advantage of the man who tries to lend a hand and give him a ride and gets promptly deserted on the side of the road. He also is a manipulator and uses his wounds (be it physical or emotional) to lure people in, but we later see that he is faking even that. The dog, however, is drawn to this man and even after seeing this behavior over and over again continues to stay. It's important to note that the motif of dogs is used throughout Punisher, Phoebe comparing herself to "a dog with a bird" on multiple occasions, so it's safe to assume the dog could be a metaphor for Phoebe herself. The man keeps pushing the dog, Phoebe, away but she somehow always ends up right back by his side. Still, by the end of the video, we see Phoebe and the dog sitting in identical outfits (further solidfying the idea that they are one in the same) having stolen what the man has taken from them and others, finally away from him and all the pain he brings. That's just my take though, and it's still pretty muddy! Feel free to add, I'd love to hear other opinions :)

Phoebe is 26 but she sounds like she has lived 10 times and becomes more disillusioned with love every time, but she still has a bit of hope for achieving happiness on her own

We need more Phoebe Bridgers + Phoebe Waller Bridge collabs in the future...

My interpretation is that the āsavior complexā part is obvious, Itās about someone who is attracted to broken people. Thinking somehow theyāll be the one to fix them. What the video shows takes it one step further... that the person trying to do the saving is just the same, if not worse. More sly and coy about their motives and levels of manipulation. Thatās why you see at the end that she was the bigger con artist all along. Trying to save others from their problems, but neglecting the biggest problem of all which is herself.

I've never had a music video hit me on this level. This is my perception :
The Chihuahua represents Phoebe and her Savior Complex, the need to save someone/ fix their problems.
The man introduced in the video is clearly damaged, manipulative and takes advantage of others without guilt. Narcissistic even, the lack of empathy, lack of conscience and cruel actions to what appears to be many victims (including Phoebe) by the amount of personal items and cash he took from people. Not to mention playing fake victim.
It shows that no matter where he goes, Phoebe is there with him. Though he knows she keeps showing up, he doesnt actually care that she is there and keeps doing his destructive behavior. To me, it feels like when real Phoebe shows up at the door with the water & dog bone, it's like she is trying to get him to acknowledge her. To me it represented the effort someone puts in for someone they are in an unhealthy narcissistic relationship with but it goes unnoticed and he closes the door on her like she meant nothing to him. The scene where he looks to the window to see the dog innocently looking back at him, he laughs at her. Almost mockingly. It looks like the dog is tearing up and actually looks quite sad and disappointed and again, he laughs at her.
When you see Phoebe walking away it represents her finally leaving him behind and letting him go. Accepting that it hurts more be there for someone who doesnt care. And that some people can't be saved.
When he dreams of laying with the dog, I think it represents a moment of clarity toxic people have sometimes when they realize for a moment when they arent being destructive that someone was there for them/loving them. But it was too late. He wakes up and the dog is gone.
And finally, when Phoebe and the Dog are together (as one) it feels like they are there for eachother ( or her being there for herself instead).
He wakes up, the dog & everything was gone. To me, it feels like someone who continues to be so toxic will eventually lose the people who care about them and will end up with nothing in the end.

How did they know that the same people who are obsessed with Phoebe Bridgers are also obsessed with Fleabag and Normal People?
