Mongoloid is a prime example of music video, in which various black and white film clips containing anything from educational films to old commercials are spliced together and set to the old Devo song, Mongoloid. It was not actually made by the band, but by experimental filmmaker Bruce Conner. He combined 1950s television advertisements, science fiction film clips, and scientific documentaries with abstract animation and original film work.
It's a documentary film exploring the manner in which a determined young man overcame a basic mental defect and became a useful member of society. Insightful editing techniques reveal the dreams, ideals and problems that face a large segment of the American male population.
