==Music video==
The song became well known for its music video, which parodies Mentos advertisements, turning them into commercials for "Footos."〔(Peretz Has Lighthearted Approach ), ''Billboard''〕 The concept came from director Jesse Peretz, who had originally pitched the idea to another band, and the Foo Fighters accepted as according to Dave Grohl, "We had some difficulty finding a treatment that would suit the song, which is this short, tongue-in-cheek, ridiculously candy-coated pop tune. We didn't want to make this big, pretentious portrait video. We wanted to make fun of ourselves and the song." The video made its MTV debut on February 14, 1996, and quickly became a Buzz Bin clip.〔(Foo Fighters Make 'Big', Fresh Clip ), ''Billboard''〕
"Big Me" was nominated for 5 MTV Video Music Awards at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, winning only "Best Group Video". The video, which parodies the Mentos ad campaign, was filmed on location in Sydney, Australia.
The video's success led to many fans throwing Mentos at the band whenever they played the song live.〔(Foo Fighters Dictionary )〕 For an extended period of time, the band did not play the song live due to this, as Grohl cited: "We did stop playing that song for a while because, honestly, it's like being stoned. Those little … things are like pebbles – they hurt." The band only started to change its mind after Weezer started performing "Big Me" during the Foozer tour both bands did together.〔(Q&A With Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters ), Associated Press〕〔(Don't Throw Mentos - Foo Fighters, Big Me Live )〕
