MTV2's top 50 favourite comedy videos

[Dr David V]

Borderline comedy/music, I know, but what the hell. They're about a third of the way through now, there's been some good stuff on so far. In fact, all day they've been playing comedy videos. Earlier I saw Weird Al's Smells Like Nirvana and Fatboy Slim's Ya Mama. Anyway, this is what the chart looks like so far...

50) Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage
49) Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
48) Monty Python's Flying Circus - We're Knights Of The Round Table
47) Goldie Lookin' Chain - Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do
46) The Chemical Brothers feat. K-OS - Get Yourself High
45) Pulp - Mis-shapes
44) The Coral - Dreaming Of You
43) Beastie Boys - Ch-check It Out
42) Blur - Country House
41) D12 - Purple Hills
40) Weezer - Half Pipe
39) Blink 182 - What's My Age Again?
38) Supergrass - Pumping On Your Stereo
37) Eels - Last Stop: This Town
36) Weird Al Yankovic - Eat It
35) Belle & Sebastian - Step Into My Office, Baby
34) Ween - Push Little Daisey's
33) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Love Rollercoaster

Thought some of you might be interested.

I'm watching it, first time I've ever seen a Weird Al Yankovic video.

The Goldie Lookin' Chain vid was great, and featured that wonderful fat bloke from Operation Good Guys. Chemical Brothers has to be fave so far though, excellent stuff that is.

Oh, and the Weezer song is called 'Hash Pipe' by the way...

[RHX]

Here's hoping that the bleeped version of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker is in the top 10 somewhere.

Defikon - I know, but they listed it as Half Pipe. The word 'hash' doesn't feature in the video either.

The next bit:

32)   Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At?
31)   The Darkness - Growing On Me
30)   MTV2 seem to have missed number 30 out. Retards.
29)   Audio Bullys - We Don't Care
28)   Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
27)   Sum 41 - Still Waiting
26)   The Streets - Fit But You Know It
25)   Presidents Of The U.S.A. - Peaches
24)   Outkast - Roses
23)   Blink 182 - First Date
22)   MTV aren't very good at this counting lark, are they? Twats.
21)   D12 - My Band

So let's call it MTV2's top 48 comedy videos.

[RHX]

Maybe the numbers they missed are "Rated R" videos? "Fuck Her Gently" is likely to be one of them (possibly even higher)

Half Pipe is the kiddy-friendly retitling.

I'm sure it does. I know only MTV listed it as Half Pipe, knowning their penchant for doing stuff like that (Tool's stinkfist changed to track 1??? blech).

[Goldentony]

hash pipe was changed to half pipe because hash is a drug and if kids see rivers saying has pipe they might go and take drugs and worship the devil and set fire to old ladies


has dennis leary's 'asshole' vid been on yet?

[Dr David V]

Here's the rest.

20) Weird Al Yankovic - Smells Liek Nirvana
19) Cake - Short Skirt/Long Jacket
18) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Universally Speaking
17) Har Mar Superstar - Power Lunch
16) Fatboy Slim - Praise You
15) Foo Fighters - Big Me
14) Sum 41 - In Too Deep
13) Beck - Sexxlaws
12) Outkast - Hey Ya!
11) Tenacious D - Wonderboy
10) Weezer - Buddy Holly
09) Beastie Boys - Sabotage
08) Blink 182 - All The Small Things
07) Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

I agree with the person who said 'shite'.

[The Fanciful Norwegian]

I'm not even sure why half of these videos are considered "comedy." Did anyone on earth laugh at the "Hey Ya!" video?

[RHX]

has dennis leary's 'asshole' vid been on yet?

There was a video for it? Is it just the live version from No Cure For Cancer, or a different one?
