Ultimate Video Ranking Survey

[Genius in Maine]

I realize I'm probably in the minority, but I have always found the "Close But No Cigar" video creepy. I am not disappointed to see it so low.

On the other hand, I agree about "Ricky" and "Living With A Hernia"--those two should certainly be higher.

Yeah, some sort of reverse zoophilia. Maybe I'm missing some reference, but I really don't get why the male is a cat

It was Cigarettes The Cat, a character of John K from Weekend Pussy Hunt.

My thoughts: So the last two batches, I've talked about how there were several videos that I thought deserved better showings...which is all well and good, except it means that there have to be some videos that deserve lower rankings. This group has a couple of them. I like the animation style of "Party in the CIA" but videos like "Ringtone" and "Polka Face" were stronger overall. "Craigslist" and "One More Minute" both fit their respective tracks very well, but they work equally well as the cover art for the singles, since there's not a whole lot of variety in the action. (Compare that to YDLMA, which is similarly basic but has a lot of visual gags throughout.) And I think "Handy" is just kind of...ok, but not really top-half-worthy. All that said, "Headline News" should be in the top 10. I'm really surprised to see it not even crack the top 20.

"Ricky" and "Living With A Hernia" are much better videos than "One More Minute", "Craigslist", and "Virus Alert", IMO. While I really like the song itself, I found the "Virus Alert" video forgettable.

As far as "Headline News" goes, I wonder if people were letting their opinions of the song get in the way of their rating of the video.

Virus Alert should have been back in the bottom ten!
Hernia is better than most of these. It's hard to know if these vids are accurately rated yet before the rest are revealed but for now a lot of them seem about right to me. They're in the middle of the pack. I would still say a lot of these (Bedrock, YDLMA, Headline News) should be ranked higher than some we know are yet to come like Word Crimes.

My thoughts: It's hard to find much fault with this group, although it does mean that a couple of videos make the top 10 that I don't really think should have. I feel like "First World Problems" would probably slip a few spots if we did this a year after MF was released. "Gump" might be a little too high IMO but I'm not offended to see it where it is. (Still...above "Headline News"??)

For the record, the remaining videos are (in chronological order):
Eat It
Dare to Be Stupid
Fat
Smells Like Nirvana
Amish Paradise
It's All About the Pentiums
White and Nerdy
Tacky
Word Crimes
Foil

Any guesses on how it goes down?
