"Hello Skinny" is a 1980 short film/music video directed by Graeme Whifler and co-written by Whifler and The Residents, for the song of the same name from the group's 1978 album Duck Stab!/Buster & Glen. The video (which is derived from an unsuccessful attempt to create a feature film based around the songs from Duck Stab!) stars Bridgit Terris as "Skinny", and consists mostly of still images, with a small amount of color film footage of Terris.
