Anyone can make a music video. Anyone. And let’s just say they have widely varying levels of talent and ability. I’m not saying I’m some kind of Spike Jonez of videography, but if I ever put a video on YouTube for a song, I would at least ensure that it met minimum standards of quality. Now, some “worst” videos are intentionally bad, and I’ll show you some of those too, but most of them are just awful and the artist is oblivious.
Here’s Zlad with Elektronik Supersonik, but I think this falls under intentionally bad. Pretty funny.
Now, this one by Jan Terri is really awful. Cringeworthy.
This might be a parody, but I don’t know of what. Kind of like Iron Maiden sung in Finnish or something.
I found this while looking around, and I’ll throw it in here for comic relief.
The infamous Clowny Clown Clown video by Crispin Glover – horrible.
An internet meme, here’s Trolololo, or whatever it’s actually called.
This list wouldn’t be complete without Friday by Rebecca Black.
I don’t… what the… just watch this, if you dare.
Okay, moving back into intentionally funny, Jon LaJoie.
I’ll hit that Jon LaJoie well twice, and then outta here. Here’s an awesomely bad love song.
Thank you for watching. Actually, I’m sorry for this whole post.

Note: I originally posted this in December 2011. It’s still true today. There’s no Nickelback, but I refuse to post any of their videos. Screw them.
Is this you, in your main picture? Because I would like to know where you got that shirt from. Oh, and I laughed out loud, well sniggered a bit, at your refusal to play Nickelback. (Screw them) amazing.
No m’lady, that’s Jon Lajoie in his MC Vagina persona. And he got it on Amazon.
Nickelback is terrible. And screw them. They should be chained to a wall and forced to listen to Nickelback music. And Chad Krueger totally ripped off Sam Rockwell in the Hitchhiker’s movie.
I have no idea who that Jon chap is. But I very much like his shirt. And what is a vagina mc thing? Is this because I’m English? I hate Nickleback! I once borrowed a friends junk of a car and the radio was broken but the cd player worked. I didn’t know until ai set off on my five hour trip. I found one CD. It was Nickleback! And what’s worse, it was a single. It played on a continuous loop until I tried to commit suicide.
Jon Lajoie is a Canadian musical comedian. More of his stuff should appear at the end of his vids. MC is a rap thing. For example, MC Hammer.
As for Nickelback, it is a horrible thing that must be stopped in our lifetimes.
I’m not sure if I will recover.
Administer yourself two CCs of Boston or Daft Punk immediately. Yes, I chose those at random, but I’m sticking with them just like I stick with the random medications I take.
i will have to watch these later, thanks for sharing. The tro-lo-lo man is a perennial favorite at our house, but that first one just might topple it.
That first one is actually intentionally funny. I should have said that.
For a tiny split second on seeing the freeze frame of Zlad, I thought it was Pouring My Art Out. Obviously it wasn’t (the video was no way trippy enough)
OMG nice catch! Maybe it WAS PMAO. Who knows?
He’ll enlighten us when he logs on later.
I thought it was PMAO as well!!
Ah Crispin Glover – you slay me.
He nearly kicked David Letterman in the face. That’s grounds for immediate termination in and of itself, in my book. But to add this video? He should be chained to the wall and forced to listen to Nickelback.
I saw him on Letterman – he’s just a weird weird guy.
Yes, he is. The strangest of the Glovers.
Dang it…I am gonna be singing Friday all day today
I am NOT amused. To make up for this post you will have to write a post using all the songs that remind you of me….crazy should be easy to blog about.
Ha ha. You’re not crazy. I’ll only do it if you do a post about all the songs that remind you of me.
Done….but I can’t post videos…so it will end up being links…which isn’t as fun
I don’t see why you can’t. But I like surprises.
Teach me then. How do you upload video?
You go to YouTube and play the song you want, then copy the link. Then on WordPress you do what you do to upload a picture, except you choose “URL”, choose the “audio/video” button, and then paste in the link. That makes it a video, like above, instead of a link.
Yay I just did it to the Rubberband challenge post and it worked…..I could just kiss you….thank you. Ok now I am going to work on my musical hotspur post. Due by Friday???
Holy crap! Okay, now I gotta think about it. I want just the right ones, but not TOO right.
Oh, I wanted to tell you that you should follow my Lyrical Anarchy blog. It’s all poetry. All serious and straightforward poetry, no left turns or silliness like this crap-laden blog. I know you say you like all my stuff, but you lean towards the beauty. I mean, just look at you! You are so incredibly attracted to me!
HA HA! Just kidding.
You are SO not kidding. You know I am attracted to that green couch of yours. I will check her/him out but you know how lazy I am and since you didn’t leave me the link
HA HA! Just Kidding. I will check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a red couch now, sista! I changed it.
Today’s poem will make you cry. It has a sad.
Like I need another reason to cry
Well I saw green today so HA!
I was talking about the background couch, but I forgot that some of the headers are also couches. So, your HA is justified.
Thanks, now dog is barking frantically at computer screen.
Really? Which song?
I didn’t watch them all but those that I watched were quite fascinating
Hopefully you were entertained.
Flip things over, and watch ours. It’s worth the 4:35, and I’m bold about it. We worked hard on the music, and the visuals are based on a Rembrandt portrait, usually with the head and shoulders in light and the surrounding “negative space” black. But the message at the end is very important–it’s all true. It was our first video but we worked carefully on it and paid attention to details. So…
youtube Moon Dancer One Band’s Story
I’ll check it out, but it seems familiar.
Ummmm… thanks…. I guess…
All I can think of to say is; that big girl should not wear leather trousers.
I sort of feel like I have been eating partially digested crap-vomit, so thanks again.
GAH!
!HAG… (ha, see what I did there, and it all ties in)…
It’s like you’re reading my mind incorrectly!
Maybe you are thinking incorrrectly… did you ever think of that… no… because you are doing it wrong.
You might be right. Maybe I AM thinking incorrectly. I have to go lie down and think about that.
Just do it right. And don’t pull anything…ha…
When does your book go on sale?
After my writer’s workshop which begins next month.
Do you wanna know what song my flesh eaters have been listening to over and over and over again this week? Of course you do- it’s this one…
I hate him.
That was the shit! I love him. You should listen to his other songs. Like his “Stay At Home Dad” song, his many songs as MC Vagina and his fake commercials. I mean, how about this:
Let me re-phrase- I HATE THAT SONG! She just played it at the dinner table for no other reason than to see my angry eyebrows.
This is the song that never ends……
I would not want to be on the receiving end of your angry eyebrows. HA HA that reminds me, some woman I work with went a little too far with the plucking of her left eyebrow, and it was noticeably thinner than her right one, or even the right side of her left one. Hi. Larious.
On the other hand, another woman had on this awesome outfit that I can’t wait to put my wife in. No, not the very outfit – a replica of it.
You’re going to get her the exact same outfit your co-worker was wearing?
Pretty close. This outfit would look great on my wife and totally suit her. What’s wrong with that? When else do I see outfits, honestly? Same thing with this other woman’s boots. They would look great on my wife. I want my wife to look great. What’s wrong with that?
I didn’t say there was anything wrong with that,silly. I was just asking- what’s wrong with that, huh?
It sounded like you thought there was.
I could always get ideas from Forever XXI or Seven Dollar Pants.
Besides, I need to really spoil her, really butter her up, before I tell her that I’m pregnant.
Ooooo, that explains the moodiness.
Now, do you know where the outfit came from? What color is it? How do you know she will like it? Do you buy clothes for her often?
Don’t know where. Can approximate. Yes, I do buy her clothes a moderate amount. I pay attention. That’s why our morning started how it did. With some midnight laundry.
I would call that “breakfast in bed”! Mancakes with a side of sausage!
It’s good that you pay attention- I have not had that experience, with clothes, I mean.
Yes, breakfast in bed.
It’s not that I really pay attention to clothes. I know about fashion because I hate not knowing things.
The Heavy Metal one does it for me – just off to stud my overcoat
Rawk out with your sock out
