they've been funny
they've been touching this time they're
just plain crazy
[Music]
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're
counting down our picks for the top ten
ridiculous 2000s music videos for this
list we're looking at music videos from
the 2000s that have been remembered for
being extremely ridiculous these videos
are not necessarily bad just
outrageously excessive
[Music]
number ten
dirty Christina Aguilera when Christina
Aguilera released her 2002 albums
stripped the first single was dirty and
the accompanying music video clearly
went for a more sexualized image what is
not clear however is why some of the
videos other images were present a
female bodybuilder a fire breather
furries a heavily muscled man in a
wrestling mask none of these things
appear to fulfill any point other than
just being weird the video has been
described as a post-apocalyptic four G
and has even been criticised by fellow
pop stars such as Shakira and Jessica
Simpson's
[Music]
number nine Man Overboard
blink-182
[Music]
[Applause]
if there is one thing that Blink 182's
early-2000s music videos made clear
about the band it was that these rockers
do not take themselves too seriously
[Music]
they took things even a little bit
further by not just mocking themselves
but many of their previous music videos
Man Overboard has the ban dreaming and
seeing little people taking their places
taking a band with silly music videos
and giving them a little nudge man
overboard is certainly the most
ridiculous video of a pretty strange
catalog
[Music]
number eight call on me Eric Prydz
[Music]
one of the most enduring dance tracks of
the 2000s and Beyond call on me took
radio weddings and any other music
centric location by storm
[Music]
based strictly on how damn catchy this
tune is the music video should have been
assured to receive regular airplay but
when the outrageously sexist and
sexualized video came out it became
almost impossible to forget
[Music]
featuring a bevy of beautiful women
during aerobics in tight and revealing
outfits the pelvic thrusts and
unapologetic money shots made this video
impossible to take seriously
[Music]
number seven tribute tenacious deep this
is the greatest and best song in the
world
tribute a music duo of talented comedic
actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass
tenacious d from the start
perfectly matched comedy chops and
musical talent each yourself tribute a
song from their debut album captured
that duality with the release of its
music video and will play the first
thing that came to our head
[Music]
it was a dog
featuring the men recording the song in
a karaoke booth in a mall we get treated
to visuals bringing the songs hilarious
story to life
featuring Dave Grohl in an uncredited
guest role as a demon tribute portrays
their music playing abilities as too
powerful to overcome and who are we to
disagree
wait till I get my money right number
six
can't tell me nothing Kanye West when I
will commit that on a necklace
it takes an ego as large as the one that
has consumed the once angry and profound
man known as Kanye West to release more
than one video for a single song which
is what makes this peculiar alternate
video of his song can't tell me nothing
all the more strange
[Music]
chill enough instead of focusing on his
own face we instead get treated to
comedian and actor Zach Galifianakis and
folk singer-songwriter Will Oldham
lip-syncing in Kanye West's style on
farm vehicles staple in a room full of
holes though we assume there is supposed
to be some meaning to all of this
we certainly don't see it
[Music]
Mars Lander what's happening up there
[Music]
number five Oh oops I did it again
Britney Spears reportedly conceived by
Spears herself this video featured the
star dancing on Mars with a love
interest being an astronaut
[Music]
the visuals have absolutely nothing to
do with the song and the Titanic
reference is even more unexpected but I
thought they got baby travelers to the
ocean in the well baby I went down and
guy
[Music]
during filming Spears was hit in the
head with a camera which resulted in
stitches for the star and claims she may
have suffered a concussion had that
injury taking place during the planning
stages this video would be a lot more
understand
[Music]
hello hello baby you come I can't hear a
thing
number four telephone Lady gaga
featuring Beyonce
[Music]
lover or hater Lady Gaga has managed to
string together a respectable series of
hits since she first came to prominence
with the song Just Dance her
unpredictable and bizarre images
arguably as responsible for his success
as the musical talent and this video is
a testament to her ridiculous lifestyle
and I am sick and tired of my phone
featuring horrendous acting Kill Bill
references left and right for no clear
reason and then an absence of dialogues
Beyonce couldn't even turn down the
weird on this one
[Music]
number three I believe in a thing called
love the darkness if you ever find
yourself sitting around and wish there
was a video featuring terrible teeth a
man in a far too tight jumpsuit and a
space-themed we've got just the thing
for you
[Music]
a band that seems like a throwback to
the epic sound and sense of humor about
themselves we may not have seen since
Queen that darkness is goofy demeanor
and awesome sound is sorely missed
we can only imagine the bales of
laughter that took place after each and
every take in order to bring this
masterpiece of ridiculousness
to life
[Music]
number two stand up Ludacris featuring
Shana if you were to describe the Dave
Myers directed music video accompanying
Ludacris's first Billboard Hot 100 chart
topper in one word it would probably be
something like weird bizarre or strange
though if you listen to the hip-hop song
closely enough you'd also realize that
quite a few of the scenes indirectly
referred to stand-ups lyrics write the
father shut us down while there are
several celebrity cameos it's the [ __ ]
hanging from his necklace feels like
baby Luda and much much more that truly
put this video on our list ridiculous
much just have a look for yourself
[Music]
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Applause]
[Music]
you want to love and convict you from
now until the day I die
I'll take these
[Music]
you
number one Parisien goldfish Flying
Lotus we know we know you've never heard
of Flying Lotus but let us introduce you
to his amazing / ray into the music
videos honor
this video features two middle-aged
people strangely dancing to a beat and
then things escalate quickly before long
both people are completely nude with
rotoscoped animation covering their
naughty bits if you thought things
couldn't get any worse you would be dead
wrong directed by surrealist comedian
Eric Wareheim this video is no surprise
if you are familiar with the comics
other work do you agree with our list
[Music]
which video from the 2000s do you think
is the most ridiculous
