Adam Levine stars in the
Don't Wanna Know as a mutant Squirtle of sorts, spoofing the recent US obsession with Pokemon Go. Other celebrities appearing as knock-off Pokemon include Sara Silverman, Ed Helms and Vince Vaughn.
Pokemon Go launched this Summer and made an estimated $600 million in the first 2 months. However, the game's sales have
slowed quite a bit, to an estimated $2 million USD per day, which projects out to about $120 million across 2 months. Still, that figure is enough to keep the game among the top 3 apps on the Apple App store and Google Play.
In the video, Marron 5 is drawing parallels to the US' obsession with catching Pokemon on a cell phone with celebrities who are mobbed by fans and paparazzi when they are out in public.
