“Don’t Wanna Know” finds Levine & Co. living in a world as Pokemon-esque monsters in ridiculous over sized suits. While all his monster buddies are busy running away from kids trying to catch them with their cell phones, Levine is trying to balance band life with winning back his ex, who’s played by Sarah Silverman. Other than her, actor Ed Helms makes an appearance in the clip, too.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that Kendrick Lamar had a brief verse in the song, the video omits him entirely, so those who came to see Kendrick in Pokemon form will leave sorely disappointed. All is well, though, because “Don’t Wanna Know” – even in its lengthy six minute run time – is a blast to watch, and it’s always a treat to see Maroon 5 having fun again.
