“Complicated” was parodied by “Weird Al” Yankovic on his 2003 album Poodle Hat. The parody called ” A Complicated Song” is a comedy/rock song that focuses on a group of stories that have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

The video features Lavigne and the band harrassing shoppers and employees, causing havoc around the mall. This is intercut with footage of Lavigne and the band performing the song at a skatepark.
The video was shoot in 2 days and during the shooting the mall remained open.
