The music video for "Celebrity Status" was directed by Colin Minihan and Tony Mirza. The video premiered on MuchMusic's Much on Demand on March 31, 2010. It features Josh Ramsay in his home at night channel surfing on his TV. Throughout the video, parodies of TV shows and commercials are shown, typically with the band members playing the roles. These include a cooking show, a sitcom, CSI (on the Ox channel), Cops, a courtroom show and 90210. The band is seen performing in between the shows. Shots of Josh as the viewer are shown throughout, noting his disengagement with what is on the television. During the last chorus, a fire starts erupting in some of the shows. The TV catches fire, waking him a now sleeping Josh, and he stares as the fire spreads to the curtain.
The music video earned two nominations at the 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards for "UR Fave Video of the Year" and "Pop Video or the Year". It was also nominated for "Video of the Year" at the 2011 Independent Music Awards.
