Top 10 Amateur Music Videos (That Are Unintentionally Hilarious)

5. “He Loves a Fat Girl” by Ellen and Donald






For the sake of anonymity and the fact that, really, we didn’t want to research these people any further, the above is the only name we’re giving. Hey, they’re happy, it’s legal, more power to them, we’re just going to be over here, trying to get the image of them making love out of heads by pouring bleach into our eyes.

4. “Apache”, by the Tommy Seebach Band




It kind of amazes us we got this far without offering up a video rife with idiotic racism, but in a list like this, it’s all but inevitable. Whether it’s the “Indian” outfits or just the fact that they’re taking a glittery disco chainsaw to a surf rock classic, you just kind of want to punch Tommy Seebach until the cocaine comes back out of his nose. If you were wondering what a GOOD version of this song sounds like:

3. “Little Wings” by Mark Gormley




We have a standing policy of not mocking (most of) the singers for this article, because putting yourself out there is really difficult. Fortunately, production values are fair game. We don’t know why they put Mark Gormley on a green screen, or why they started pressing random effects ****ons, or why they cut in bland footage of a seagull. But it could have been so much worse. As amply demonstrated by the rest of this list. Be careful, the disorienting camera angels and movements mixed with the water waves backgrounds may make you seasick. But it also just may be the video itself providing the symptoms of nausea.

2. “Carribean Moon” by Kevin Ayers





We do not like this video, and no, we’re not letting the fact that it’s from the ’70s mitigate that statement at all. Whoever Kevin Ayers is, and we’re sure his fan will object to our dismissing him, we’re amazed that when presented with the storyboards for this video, he didn’t torch the studio and change his name. And that’s the thing; this took a lot of preparation. There were storyboards. People laid this out and paid for it and nobody, at any point, realized what a bad idea it was. Just skip to the 1:30 mark for some incredible homo-erotic confusion.

1. “Love in a Pub” by Leoncie





This is probably the apex of where bad music meets bad video production. The music is sickeningly sweet, the video is about as unprofessional as it gets, including the opening which is designed to create motion sickness. In general it’s the video definition of bad idea. When the couple in this video saw the final product, we wonder if they screamed at the musician or if they just dropped all pretense, pulled out the Glock, and started shooting.
