Ticket Giveaway: The Roots @ 930 Club
December 21, 2010 | 11:45AM

omg so apparently the band on jimmy fallon is like a real band? and they’re like playing at the 930 club? and people tell us they’re super fun live too? weird0.

i’ve never like heard of them (and like i don’t really listen to rap what with the violent lyrics? and the lack of thoughtful content? and the fact that they dont play real instruments?) but if you want to go see them we’ve got 8 tickets, 2 pairs to each show (one is Monday and one is Tuesday,) of theirs next week? and but so i googled them and saw that they made the funniest meta-video of all time?

so reply in the comments with the funniest music video of all time (parody or otherwise) and we’ll meta-hook you up?!

p.s. please make note which show night you’d rather go to

  • Nate 1 says:

    Neil Young – This Note’s for You. Classic. And it was initially banned from MTV, but later won a VMA.

  • PTRQ says:

    I’ve always found the video for Poney, Part 1 by Vitalic to be hilarious. It’s just a bunch of slo-mo shots of dogs flying in the air with some lasers, sets to Vitalic’s menacing, but playful, rock-inspired electrohouse. It’s just a strange juxtaposition, and the perseverance really makes it. One shot would be cute, but since that’s all the video is, it’s hilarious.

    I’d prefer the Monday show, but Tuesday would work too.

    Tuesday

  • Jeremy says:

    Probably not the funniEST video of all time, but I’m still pretty amused whenever I see the Dance It Up video for Groove Armada’s History. And I guess I’d prefer Monday, though I’m ok with either.

  • UniversaLEM says:

    Weird Al comes to mind, but keeping the vibe hip-hop, I’m going to have to go with Nas’ Street Dreams Video. Lol Eurythmics reference aside, I understand Nas was going through his Esco phase but the “Casino’ themed video helmed by Hype Williams was meant to break Nas into the mainstream, but everything from Nas’ ice grill close-ups, to his “acting” (we’ve all seen Belly) came across lame and cornballish. Add pink and yellow suits and a horrible cameo from movie mobster Frank Vincent (you’re hot as a pistol man you’re hot as a pistol) then you got yourself the funniest video of all time.

    Music video for “Parisian Goldfish” by Flying Lotus, directed by Eric Wareheim.

    Arguably NSFW.

    Anything w/ P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs…guy is a joke!

    Monday night s’il te plait!

  • handbanana888 says:

    The funniest(and most brilliant) music video I’ve ever seen? I gotta go with “Praise You” by Fat Boy Slim which was directed by Spike Jonze. Shot “guerrilla-style” i think it’s truly amazing in both it’s simplicity and sincerity. The Torrance Community Dance Group(in actuality a fictional group) are trying their damndest to perform the finally tuned(and quite hilarious) dance routine that they’d been working on for the masses in front of a movie theatre. And it couldn’t have come off more awesome!

    Please choose me! I would prefer Tuesday night’s show, but really I’ll take anything you’re willing to give. Thank you very much and Happy Holidays!

    I recant my previous post please. Unicorns LA by My Barbarian is solid. either night works.

  • Essential says:

    OK, seriously this is my funniest video of all time. The beat down scene and the times square were classic hip-hop in the 90′s.

    P.S. Monday would be perfect but Tuesday isn’t bad either! ;)

    Either one of rock’s greatest front man – Diamond Dave – gone solo… with “appearances” by: Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Richard Simmons, Billy Idol, Motley Crue, Boy George, Willy Nelson, The Cure, and many more.
