Line 75:
Her name was Maryanne<br />
She made him feel like a man<br />
I'm not saying she made him feel like a man [[Buffy -Speak|in the way that, you know, like when you feel like an icy-pole it means that you want an icy-pole]]<br />
She didn't make him want a man<br />
'''Scod''': [[Sarcasm Mode|You really saved the show there, thanks for that.]] }}
Line 130:
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaNt5S9pibQ Aja]" by [[Steely Dan]], a song about people embracing Asian culture without actually knowing anything about it.
{{quote| ''Chinese music always sets me free''<br />
''[[Buffy -Speak|Angular banjos]] sound good to me'' }}
* "Dear Doctor" by [[The Rolling Stones]], especially the part where Mick Jagger reads a Dear John letter in a high pitched voice.
* We got this far without a mention of [[Johnny Cash|A Boy Named Sue]]?
Line 188:
 
== Funny Moments in music videos ==
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlU_vvITynM Hammerfall vs. the Swedish Womens' Olympic Curling team]. [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]?
* [[Michael Jackson|Smooth Criminal]], especially in the Moonwalker cut is a mix of [[Rule of Cool|Coolness]] and [[Rule of Funny|Funniness]].
* Step one: watch the original gloomy, dark music video for Nirvana's [http://youtube.com/watch?v=kPQR-OsH0RQ "Smells Like Teen Spirit"]. Step two: watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FklUAoZ6KxY Weird Al Yankovic's version]. Step three: get yourself off the floor.
** Speaking of Weird Al: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qYF9DZPdw The "White and Nerdy" video.] Donny Osmond's dancing ''alone'' is enough to induce tears of laughter.
*** Three words: "I edit [[Wikipedia]]."
** And on the topic of Weird Al: Listen to him duet with diva Kate Winslet in [[Award Bait Song]] fashion in the ''amazingly'' funny [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEXEXPNwlPc "I Need A Nap"]. Not only can ''everyone'' identify with the song, it's hard not to fall apart laughing when Al shouts out, "[[Truck DriversDriver's Gear Change|Change KEEEEEEEEEEY!]]"
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acqd7iHDrvk It's the theme from] ''Spy'' '''HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDD!!!!'''
* G-Unit's diss skit against Ja Rule... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkMwk4yMOt0 That. Is. All.]
* [[Your Head Asplode|splat]]*
** ALL Weird Al videos. But definitely ''Fat''. Watch Michael Jackson's ''Bad'' (preferably the full-length version with its [[Talky Bookends]]). Then watch this.
** Oh come on! How can you talk about his music videos without mentioning [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh4zvQfDhi0 his take] on the [[So Bad ItsIt's Good|infamously horrible]] MccArthur Park.
** [[Two Words Obvious Trope|Three words:]] [[This Is Sparta|Weasel. Stomping.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k76IGLi6jWI Day.]
* How about Kurt Cobain's reaction to being asked to lip-synch on ''Top of the Pops''? Singing the whole of 'Teen Spirit' in a ridiculous Ian Curtis/Morrissey croon while miming playing his guitar with a completely flat hand and a [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3kdv7_nirvana-smells-like-teen-spirit-liv_music gormless grin on his face?]
** Speaking of Morrissey, didn't he, in a similar situation, swap out the microphone for a bouquet of gladiolas?
* Incredibad's debut single: [http://www.hulu.com/watch/47604/saturday-night-live-digital-short-j-in-my-pants **** in my pants] has to be seen to properly appreciate.
** {{spoiler|"I just ate a grape and I / ''JIZZED. IN. MY PANTS.'' / I went-- / ''<s>JIZZED. IN. MY PANTS.</s>'' [[Self -Deprecation|Okay guys, seriously, can we, okay?]]"}}
** And is promptly surpassed by another single by the same group: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU I'm On a Boat].
** '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NisCkxU544c LIKE A BAWSS]'''
*** This troper thought Seth Rogen's deadpan delivery of "You chop your balls off and DIE." was pure genius.
** Not to mention "[[Boom Box]]," which has Julian Casablancas (lead singer for The Strokes). Just watch it. '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvEYKRF5IA EVERYONE WAS WEARING FINGERLESS GLOVES!]'''
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQlIhraqL7o I Just Had Sex]. While sex ''is'' indeed quite awesome, this video [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|takes it to absurd levels]].
