Throwback Thursday: GREATEST VIDEOS EVER! Edition

Let me just warn you now. When I say "GREATEST VIDEOS EVER," I don't mean that too literally. None of the following videos are deep and insightful. But they are classically entertaining. At least by my definition of "entertaining." Whatever that is. Throwback Thursday commence!

Flourescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys (2007)

I got only one word...CLOWNS! Okay, maybe like... 74 more words.
Definitely one of the most creative, yet slightly disturbing, videos I have encountered in a long time. Apparently one of the clowns and non-clowns used to be friends, but now they're not and their clans are beating the crap out of each other. I wonder what caused a riff between those two. I guess if you think about it, the vid is pretty insightful and says a lot about the world we live in. 

The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang (1999)

What can be better than four grown dudes dressed as a hybrid of chimps and rats running around kidnapping French people? A lot of things. But this slightly controversial video is entertaining none the less...and you probably won't see many videos like it. And the chorus may consist of the best pick up line I have ever heard...not saying it would work though. Unless of course you're dressed like a demented monkey-rat, who knows lol.

You Spin Me Right Round - Dead or Alive (1984)

This song is probably one of the catchiest pop songs ever. So catchy that it scored Flo-Rida and Ke$ha a #1 hit single sampling the classic. This video is cheap with flags and glitter and 80s and fabulosity. Warning this video is not safe for work. By safe meaning if your co-workers caught you watching it, they may judge your taste. Or think you're awesome beyond incomprehensible measure. Either way, enjoy.

Because I Got High - Afroman (2001)

Now don't get it twisted. I don't smoke. However this video and song may be the best anthem to weed ever, and probably ever will be. Point me out a more literal and blunt (HA!) song about marijuana if you dare to argue. And Afroman in the video is obviously hiiiiigh. Plus cameos by Jay and Silent Bob and tons of the leafy stuff.

Lazy Song - Bruno Mars (2011)

Ok I cheated *pulls out joker card*. This video is not a throwback at all. I was gonna end this list after Afroman but after seeing the video to the song about the art of slacking, I couldn't help myself. This video put a smile on my face all the way through. I was not at all mentally prepared to view this masterpiece when I clicked "play" for the first time. Dancing monkeys in plaid shirts, shades, and boxers (I think I found this year's Halloween costume!). Those monkeys can move. The one in yellow hits a pretty mean dougie towards the end. But my favorite monkey was definitely the one in red.
