Yep, that’s a Mumford Band.
Everyone knows the correct answer is the very NSFW “Smack My Bitch Up” by Prodigy.
I was only half watching for the first minute so I totally didn’t even notice the joke until the part where Andy from the Office turns dramatically to Jason Bateman. I lost my shit.
I haven’t seen this video in years. I had totally forgotten about it.
I think it’s pretty well established that this is the best video ever.
I came in here expecting “Gangnam Style”
I can’t believe it’s gone this long without a mention of Knights of Cydonia by Muse (as mentioned in these music video threads 1, 2, 3, 4)
A “reveal”? I didn’t see anything revealed. Her friends, most of whom unfortunately can’t sing very well, joined in, but I don’t see how that’s a “reveal” or how anyone would expect (or not expect) it. I thought it was gonna’ turn out that it was someone else’s hands playing the uke. That would have been a “reveal”.
Um, hello!
The answer is obviously Rio, by Duran Duran
You’re all wrong. None of these can compete with Little Big’s insightful dissection of the Russian soul, “Every Day I’m Drinking”.
THIS IS RUSSIA, BITCH! (Spoilered because of language, creepy clowns, simulated bearsuit sex, veiled references to Catherine and the horse, tracksuits, balalaikas, little people, vodka…)
More seriously, The Red Paintings’ recent video, “You’re Not One of Them” is pretty damn good.
Yo, beagle. I’m really happy for you. I’mma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!

Prison Sex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5sIXUbMgF0
Be Amazed!
I still remember seeing the video for Sober when I was but a wee monkey, up late one night watching Headbanger’s Ball on the little 9 or 13 inch TV in the kitchen. My jaw hit the counter–I had never seen (or heard) anything even remotely like it.
The real answer is Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” rivaled only by Ke$ha’s “Blow” and “C’mon.”
No.
No, no… no no no.
My grasshoppers… the best music video is Elektronik Supersonik.
You can thank me later.
5… 4… 3… 1… blast off!!!
Oops, never mind. This is the best music video: [spoiler]The Loophole by Garfunkel and Oates - YouTube
I still don’t get it. It’s an OK video, but what’s so great about it? Also I reply with This John Hiatt song
A best music video competition isn’t complete without a little Electric Six
They play it straight for a while, then it becomes clear that none of them are the actual band members, they’re all comedy actors, like Jason Bateman and Ed Helms, and they then all go just a bit silly.
Not gonna lie. That is one of the dopest videos of all time. Bey got it in for that one.
Ok, let’s do this thing:
Sugar Water
Smooth Criminal
Grimes was mentioned, but I would have gone with Genesis
