The music video for "Hundred Million" was filmed on May 27, 2002 in Toronto. The video was directed by Wendy Morgan featuring cameos from several Canadian artists including Avril Lavigne, Gob, Sum 41, and Swollen Members celebrating an informal industry alliance also including long-time collaborators Mark "London" Spicoluk and Jesse Colburn of Closet Monster and Nelly Furtado.[3] It became one of the top music videos of 2002 in Canada.
Near the end of the video, Tom Thacker mooned, although it was frequently mistaken to be Lavigne. This misconception was referenced to when Lavigne pulled her pants halfway down to reveal MMVA written there at the 2003 MuchMusic Video Awards.
