The music video for "Stinkfist" was created with [[Stop motion|stop-motion animation]] techniques, and was directed by the band's guitarist [[Adam Jones (musician)|Adam Jones]] (who had previous experience in art direction and animation). The video begins with a shot of an empty jar, electrical currents and a television screen covered in dust with the album cover "Smoke Box" appearing on it. It focuses on two members, one male and one female, of a race of sand people. They suck on tubes and swallow nails and wires that apparently hurt them and are ejected from their bodies, after which they are put into the jars and treasured. Another race of mutants has entrails that are plugged into a wall. At one point in the video one of the main characters is seen shaving and peeling off the sand skin revealing another layer of skin covered with tattoo-like designs covering the entire body. Towards the end of the video, the main male character is seen from the back which reveals a tumor-like life form growing from his left shoulder. At least one reviewer compared the visuals to the works of [[H. R. Giger]].<ref>''The Right Tool for a Video Job'' from the [[New York Daily News]] January 19, 1997.
