Most Embarrassingly Awful Music Videos Ever

Music videos exploded in popularity with the birth of MTV in the 1980′s. It became a new art form, a form that gave birth to many masterpieces. These are not those. (Or are they?)

“Elektronik Supersonik” by Zlad!

Some people say the children are our future. If that future is anything like Zlad!‘s, they are in for a very confusing and gramatically challenging ride.

“America We Stand As One” by Dennis Madalone

Is your post-9/11 surge of patriotism starting to fade a little? This video has more than enough patriotism to make sure your colors never run again. And then some.

“I Love You” by Vanilla Ice

Vanilla Ice loves you “because he loves you.” If you need more of an explanation than that, he doesn’t love you anymore.

Speaking of patriotism, aside from loving you, he also loves patriotic parachute pantsuits.

“Paris for President” by Paris Hilton

Also speaking of patriotism, this is the music video Paris Hilton made for her patriotic and selfless Presidential bid in 2008. When asked what country she was running for President of, she responded, “I guess, like, California or whatever.”

“Losing You” by Jan Terri

This video combines the production value of a junior high video project with the musical quality of a William Hung/Ke$ha duet.

“Take U To Da Movies” by Bangs

What these guys lack in polish they make up for by lacking in everything else, thereby resulting in a modern viral video classic.

“Inside This World of Mine” by Static Cycle feat. Bristol Palin

On its own, this video probably could have slipped by as just a really bad video rather than as one of the “most embarrassingly awful” music videos ever. But then they asked Mama Grizzly Jr., Bristol Palin, to star…

“Hooked on a Feeling” by David Hasselhoff

When David Hasselhoff said recently that he was still “deeply ashamed” about a certain video, hopefully he was referring to this one as opposed to the leaked footage of him drunkenly eating that hamburger off the floor. After all, with over a billion views, the hamburger video may prove to be his most lasting achievement.

Cory Haim: 1980′s Tween Casanova

In recent years, eternally 15-year old pop star Justin Bieber and Twilight vampire/werewolf Robert Lautnerson have dominated the hearts and bedroom posters of tweenage girls. But who were tweens way back in 1989 pining for? Cory Haim of “the two Corys” fame, of course. Here is a video Haim made upon leaving his first rehab stint to ensure his middle school fan base that he was still ready to be their heartthrob throughout the 1990′s, surely. Assuming Jason Priestly and Luke Perry don’t come along, that is.

Adventures of the Pretentious Bum

Every neighborhood has one. That bum that’s always saying pretentious things. Ours lives on the corner stoop and is always going on about how he doesn’t own a TV and only watches documentaries and European cinema.

Dance School Sizzle Reel

You may have never heard of the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms. (Be thankful if you haven’t). But this parody from Katina Corrao and Brandy Barber, with an all-star cast of hilarious people, is realistic enough to tell you all you need to know.
