The [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video ]] for "Starfuckers, Inc." was released in 2000 under the name '''"Starsuckers, Inc."''' due to censorship issues. The interlude lyrics were also changed for the video, allegedly to avoid a copyright infringement lawsuit. The video was co-directed by Robert Hales and Marilyn Manson.

A glammed-out Reznor and a strung-out, leggy blonde are riding in the back of a limousine. They stop at a run-down carnival at a trailer park and participate in the games there. These games include throwing CDs in a toilet, smashing plates bearing head shots of popular musicians, breaking busts of various musicians (including Reznor himself), and a dunk tank the involves a large man dressed like [[Courtney Love]] falling into a tank filled with toxic waste.

At this point in the video, it becomes a commentary on the state of music at the time. Bands like Limp Bizkit were extremely popular while Smashing Pumpkins and R.E.M. seemed to be past their prime in the eyes of the record labels and many consumers. After the dunk tank, Reznor and the blonde return to the car. It is then that the blonde is revealed to be Manson dressed in drag. Many people speculated that the feud between Reznor and Manson had ended.<br>

The video contains several references to the films of [[David Lynch]]. The opening scene with the road and the red-tinted scenes refer to ''Lost Highway.'' The limousine and Reznor's clothes and oxygen mask refer to the character Frank Booth in ''Blue Velvet,'' who has an addiction to gases and is the perfect figure of depravity. During the throwing of CDs into a toilet, discs are seen of Marilyn Manson's ''Mechanical Animals'' and ''Smells Like Children'' as well as Nine Inch Nails' ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]''.
