Yorke instructed him to make a video similar to the works of the Brothers Grimm and Czech animator Jan Švankmajer : " Fifties East European genre animation , overlaboured and naive . " The video debuted on the Times Square Jumbotron in New York on 20 May 2003 , and received hourly play that day on MTV2 .
