Update (2006/12/28): Wired News has a Year in Review in Online Video article that discusses this video among many others. Here's a good quote.

Pop band OK Go rode this trend in late July, when its video featuring a killer combination of treadmills, low-key gymnastics and thrift-store fashion caught the attention of the online community. MTV, now the follower rather than the leader, booked the band for its Video Music Awards show.
