Pretty good. Did the NRDC commission that?

That's beautiful. I think we're all missing a very important point here, though: they both have kids.

High school is hard enough without your dad making you wear clown makeup to class every day.

I'm reminded of the dude who called in on the Bad Kids, Bad Parents topic about the Williamsburg mom who wore a cat suit and made her kid wear a cat mask. She told the guy she was raising her son as a cat.

"Fuckin' magnets. How do they work?"

Welp, I never thought it would happen, but ICP and I are sharing some of the same thoughts these days.

What an eloquent and... oh, what's the word - I wanna say smart. Yes, an eloquent and smart argument for intelligent design.

I like that bit about the pelican and the cell phone. Relatable.

Why does he hate scientists?

His beef with science stems from the fact that he's unable to drop any.

I wrote a Greasemonkey script many years ago to block people I didn't like on another site.

Actually it apparently works on any simple machines forum.

Also, it sends your browsing history to me, which I sell to unscrupulous corporations.

If every single line in a song seems like a non-sequitir, does that mean that none of them are?

"Miracles" is one of the most unintentionally funniest videos ever.  However, Weird Al is the most consistently (and intentionally) funny music video makers ever.

As for just greatest, Chris Cunningham has my deep dark twisted soul heart.

To point out a couple of music videos that fit right in the middle of great and funny, are two grossly underrated ones by Mercury Rev from the BOCES album:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h2VvMgwIF4

NSFW!  No actual naughty things shown, but certainly implied. I mean, Ron Jeremy is in the video. However, I love how Mercury Rev in one fell swoop achieved something that Hawkwind were trying for years to get close to: Pure sonic space sleaze.  "Something For Joey" is also their best song.

An actual safe for work video is Mercury Rev's "Bronx Cheer", which is much poppier, with a video filled with kids in a playground

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JQ_oxYEQpA

Both videos can make you dizzy, though.
