80s music videos = better comedy than most current TV comedies.

It's hard to beat 80s band Visage for over the top 80s style and fashion:

Sometimes when surfing the channels late at night you'll come across an old movie that is so weird that you can't stop watching it. These videos make the 1980's seem like ancient history.

Separate Ways - comedy gold for sure

From what I understand, that was one of the earliest music videos on MTV. They just had to make something, ANYTHING, so they could put it on TV.

Not much thought went into it.

Probably directed by the same guy that made this gem:

Ha ha ha! I like how it doesn't really end.

No, no, you didn't post the good version of that video.

THAT. WAS. EPIC.

Epic.

Other than that, this video is just full of strange. It's oddly disturbing, and doesn't make any damned sense at all.

JESUS WTF IS HAPPENING AT 3:30+!?!?!?!?[/URL]

No, no, you didn't post the good version of that video.

Updated versions haven't fared much better:

Here is an idea...

Instead of wasting money on actors and scripts and making new comedy shows they could just play 80s music videos once a week.

Some of them are so epically bad you can't help but laugh.

This isn't a music video, but definitely needs to be in this thread. The ending credits to Buckaroo Banzai: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MqJ3iGBdOo

Can the OP PLEASE post his age? SRSLY. If you are going to make fun of an era, at least give the perspective.

Scandal - The Warrior

That is all kinds of awesome.

Who directed that? Bob Fosse?

I am 42. I lived through all this stuff.

The music is awesome, the videos....
