The Best Bad Music Video

Way back in 1999, there was a show on MTV called 25 Lame. It featured comedians Jon Stewart, Janeane Garofalo, Denis Leary, and Chris Kattan all sitting on a couch and giving commentary on some of the worst videos ever made. They played Billy Squire’s “Rock Me Tonight”, Aqua’s “Barbie Girl”, Gerardo’s “Rico Suave”, and many more bad video classics. The show became infamous right away because it was also the place where Rob Van Winkle, AKA Vanilla Ice, completely snapped and ended up destroying half the set and nearly clubbing Jon Stewart in the head with a baseball bat after being forced to watch his “Ice Ice Baby” video.

I went through YouTube searching for clips, but I couldn’t find many. What I was dying to see was the videos themselves, uncut and in all their horrible glory. I managed to find the Don Johnson video “Heartbeat”, which was voted the worst video of all time. Enjoy, my friends, enjoy!
