Funniest Music Videos?

I wonder how long it will be till one of the female pop stars does a video with full frontal.

They started as provocative now they are getting trashier and trashier.


It's been done...

Alanis Morrisette ;)


Uhm funniest...

Netty's Girl by Beastie Boys
Been Caught Stealing by Janes Addiction

... I don't know, I don't watch videos much. I just get DVDs with music videos on them sometimes. The end of Ministry's NWO has a giant George Bush Sr. head with him grabbing his crotch.
 
I did a student music video to Sabotage. It was a lot of fun. We rocked the hizzy on that one.

I like Green Day's "Walking Contradiction" and "Nice Guys Finish Last" videos. Also a fan of Fountains of Wayne "Stacey's Mom" and any number of Weird Al videos.

It doesn't matter. Riding the edge is what is sexy, not crossing it. Because, you can glorify sex and outline it and be provocative but in the end, sex isn't that, the image of sex is more important than the actual thing. Aside from that, the FCC are lameoids so don't expect anything beyond what we see now.

Kellis' "Milkshake" video. Nummy.
 
Today, by the smashing pumpkins. Jame Iha in a dress. That's just comedy, right there!!!

Umm, The Foo Fighter ones were quite good. Sabatoge by the beastie boys will always be a classic, as will Fight for your Right (to paaaaaaaartay!)

Jason Mraz - You and I Both. Great music video. Watch it.

i've never seen the video, but that has to be the worst song in the history of mankind. jeeezus, it's just awful.

i used to work at this "adult contemporary/alternative" radio station (KLLC Alice 97.3 for those of you in these parts) and i'd have to hear that crap two or three times a day.
it was how i use to schedule smoke breaks.
 
*kracks his knuckles* Okaaayyy, let me bring up my list of funny videos in addition to the ones already mentioned, I bring forth.

Weezer - Hashpipe.
The Sumo wrestlers rocking out, you'd just HAVE to love it.

Kiss - Lick it up
Okay, let me explain. We don't get to see Gene Simmons wearing tiger striped Spandex very often and for VERY good reason I might add.

Green Day - Geek Stink breath
Exacly how many videos are out there which were shot in a dentist ofice when he's pulling a tooth from some guy's mouth?

Primus - Wynona's Big brown beaver
Rubber Cowboys anyone?

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Brilliant piece of work, one of my all time favorites.

Genesis - Land of confusion
A video provided by the Brittish series of "Spitting Image" providing rubber look-a-likes for people like Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and everybody else famous in the eighties. It has to be a winner.

Genesis - Jesus he knows me
Jimmy Swaggart sued the band for making a public folly out of him in this video about TV priests who are in it for the money rather than a good place in the Paradise, I guess he recognized more of himself in that video than he felt comfortable with.

The Police - Can't stand losing you
A song about suicide isn't remotely funny but Sting wearing a school uniform, a wig that gives him blonde curls and oversized glasses makes up for any fun in the song itself.

Paul Simon - You can call me Al
Take a simple white back ground, put in two chairs and let in Paul Simon and Chevy Chase and presto: you've got yourself a stellar funny video.

Sum 41 - Fat Lip/Pain for Pleasure
"Heavy metal and rock that's how we were raised. Maiden and Priest are the guys that we praised" so the gentlemen claim in the song and they aren't afraid of putting their mouth where their money is by appearing in leather, spandex, singing in Rob Halford approoved growls and shrieks and covering it all up with a nice two voiced lead on their guitars.
