The "Flamboyant" promotional music video was directed by Nico Beyer. Heavily based on aspects of Japanese popular culture, it tells the story of a Japanese office worker who aspires to appear on television variety show "Kasou Taishou" where guests perform silly stunts. He envisions a billiards-based routine, where he and others portray living balls on an enormous pool table. At the end of the video, they perform their routine successfully on the show. The story footage is intercut with fake Japanese-style television commercials where the Pet Shop Boys offer various products such as an automatic ironing machine and a car called Boxy.

The video was finally released on DVD on the documentary "A Life in Pop", although the disc doesn't mention the video's inclusion. Some territories, like Canada, don't feature the video.
