The band has produced two music videos for "These Things". One video splices screencaps of various beautiful, young women in seductive, orgasmic poses with snippets of Justin playing the piano and Adam singing. Another video features Shirley Manson, lead singer of the band Garbage, and starts off with Adam and Justin walking down a city street at night. Without warning, a third man attacks Justin as he walks past the two of them but Adam fends him off. A female bystander, played by Manson, comforts Justin and helps him to his feet, and she and Adam walk him to a car. The video ends with Justin's attacker washing his hands in a bathroom and looking up as he notices Manson standing behind him.
