What's the most cringeworthy music video you've ever seen?

I'm not even sure it's legal for me to post this... but oh well..

  • Oh hell! That is pretty cringe-worthy. What would have been a better  twist is if the boys gave Paris a swirley and then they ran off together. lol

    But, in the spirit of your question, this ranks pretty high in my eyes.  I have nothing further to say and will let this abominable masterpiece speak for itself

    I think that is supposed to be straight..I don't know. It looks pretty damn gay to me. Way to gay!
    I wanna go for that "just say no to pee-pee's if your're a man"" training classes after seeing this. lol This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at June 25, 2017 10:42 PM MDT

    I watched the first ten seconds only and immediately thought "this is for the gay male crowd."

  • That's what I thought, too. It looks like some Euro-trash boy band from the 80s. 
    I'm not entirely convinced the original intent was to be overtly "unicornish" lol

    if there was such a thing as "the gay male gaze" that video would be the exact definition of that term..

    WOW!! That's pretty f-ing sick. Talk about a double standard! If that were a male singer/celebrity (very loose use of both of those terms) behaving that way with what appears to be a 13-14 year old female child, there would definitely be outrage and some kind of investigation! 
    Perfectly normal for teens to fantasize about adult celebs. Not normal for adults to encourage and participate in it! 

    I haven't really watched music videos in many years. I remember this one being particularly ludicrous, though. No disrespect to Elton John, but this was awful, even for the 80's!

    I agree with you about the Hilton video.

    As for Elton, I never liked the song much, either. One or two guys in the video are worth a glance  for eye candy for me.

    It's one of my least favorite of his songs, too. You're right about the eye candy... and some of them were surely straight! ;)

    Yeah, I know, you're right -- I look with delight at all, though, ha!

  • Paris Hilton is a skank and it just shows that money can't buy class or dignity

    I can't help but think of South Park whenever Paris Hilton comes up. I've not even seen that many episodes of SP, but that one was just great! 

    Much as I try not to think of people as skanks, she certainly fits the bill in this video!

    I think of "South Park," too! Ha! Hilarious episode to me!

    I admit I didn't watch the Paris Hilton video after I saw the young guy in bed with Paris posters on the wall -- that, and what you said about the video, was enough for me to figure out where it might be going. The Swirlies in the toilet didn't help either.

    Here's something I posted to SavvyAnsley around this thread -- thought I should admit to you, too, Judas Goat that I didn't watch all of the Paris Hilton video.
    :)

    This video had me cringing the first time I watched and listened -- and I still do when I watch. But it's cringing in the most wonderful ways - - I very much like the song and video. 

    I find the video best experienced by watching from beginning to end without stopping - - oh, yeah, that's the way any video watching would work, I guess! Ha! (I just meant that jumping ahead would ruin the effect.)

    Excellent, Judas Goat!
    I was unfamiliar with her until someone recommended this video and song. I love her style and voice! I bought the entire CD/album from which this song comes. It's great! "Theatre Is Evil"  Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra.

    That got much too gory for me, but what a fantastic song! Thanks for posting it, despite the gore. :)

    Yes, the gore is the cringeworthy part for me.
    :)
    But as far as gore goes, it's done in a beautiful way somehow to me. Ha!

    I'm glad you liked the song; I like it a lot, too.

    Ya know, I thought it was hilarious until the woman lifted her dress and then it really got cringe-worthy for me. I'm sure that says something about my psyche, though I'm not sure what.
