"Jump the Gut" was one of the first "Gorilla Bites" that were used to promote the first studio album of virtual band Gorillaz.
In the short clip, lead singer 2D making an attempt to jump over drummer Russel, who is sleeping, on a bike. He is first seen pedaling the bike in place.
Meanwhile, Del tha Funkee Homosapien (rapper) and Noodle (guitarist) are betting on whether or not 2D will make the jump, Noodle betting that he will and Del betting that he will not.
2D then lets go of the brakes and pedals towards a ramp set in front of Russel. In an attempt to jump over Russel's bloated gut, he misses, and the bike lands directly atop Russel's stomach. 2D flies off the bike and onto the road, skinning his knee (on the Gorillaz chatboards, it is stated that 2D was sent to the hospital for hurting his shin). In the meantime, Del gets sucked back into Russel's head as Russel wakes up, causing him to drop all of the money he was betting on to the ground; Noodle immediately picks it up.
Russel then threatens 2D by saying that he's going to "jump you next time you're asleep- and I don't think either one of us is going to make it." 2D responds with a speech bubble showing a picture of a turd (possibly signifying using profanity; the words "crap" or "shit"). The short clip then ends with a gorilla, an ending used on most Gorilla Bites.
In the United States, the clip was occasionally shown as filler between programs on MTV2.
Famous quotes containing the words jump and/or gut:
“Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.”

“The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
