People on the internet keep calling this “the worst music video ever made.” Well if by worst they mean best then yeah.

Total perfection. But what is this?

At first it seems like this video is so bad it’s hilarious, and all you want is to make fun of it all day long with your mom and her friends. Lots Of Love. “It’s amazing that these guys don’t know how ridiculous they look!” Is what you write in an email to your mom. Except they do. Obviously. This is Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job-caliber terrible. Richard Dunn is at home saying “why didn’t I think of that?” into his morning fiber. By the time the bass playerguitarist takes off his turtleneck (but not his beret) to play shirtless at the end the game is over, we are in full-on fake out territory, although you probably had your suspicions the first time you saw that happy young keyboardist singing along. If someone was really smart, this whole thing would be an ad for 20-oz bottles of Diet Pepsi, but I think that’s just there to throw us off the trail. I refuse to believe that Diet Pepsi is this talented.

So, the question remains: WHO HAS MADE THIS WONDERFUL JOKE?

  2. I think she’s saying “Yeah… I’d rather you keep the twenty than come back.”

  3. By “Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job-caliber terrible” you mean “Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job-caliber awesome,” right? Okay. Just checking.

    Don’t know who they are, but this was definitely shot at the McCormick-Tribune center at Northwestern University:

    • Um, I spent so many hours in that building. Nice catch! The music part isn’t filmed in the MTC Studio though. I was on NNN and I know what that studio looks like.

  10. I could tell it was fake from the moment they cut to the keyboard player’s fingers.

    And the keyboard player is my fucking hero. I want to be that guy.

  11. viral marketing for the bandanna and goatee corporation of america.

  13. Do you think this girl just signed her name on the dotted line, not knowing that it was going to be used for the greatest music video ever, a la Bikini Girl in “Without You?”

    Maybe I’m stating the obvious and totally missing the point of the post but this video was not made as a joke. To think that people wouldn’t do this and be serious is just giving humanity too much credit. Whoever posted this video, however, was probably doing it as a joke. And I thank that individual from the bottom of my heart.

    The only thing that has got to make it a joke is the shirtless guy at the end. Either or, amazing.

  17. this is legit. you can’t fake singing out of sync with the soundtrack like that. there is nothing but earnestness coming from the keyboardist’s blank stares.

    Why does he keep saying, “away?”

    I always wondered what the kids at widney high looked like

    IF you’re so interested in who made it, why don’t you just ask the guy who uploaded it?
