Eighth (Quasi-Annual) Pop Video Shlock-Off

Fifth annual pop-schlock vid off

Here it is again, the traditional day after the All-Star game vid off. Once again, you can try to top each other with cheesy vids. Bonus marks if you can connect them in some way. You can read about the history here. Click on the vid-off tag to see previous years entries.

Have fun and remember to click next to your name and select Hide Media if the thread gets slow. That way you'll only load the vid you want to watch at any one time.

To start us off this year, I've taken Dabbles criticisms of lack of 2000-era music to heart. So to start us off, how about some Christopher Walken dancing?

Fourth annual pop-schlock vid-off

Here it is again, the traditional day after the All-Star game vid off. You can read about the history of this event here. Once again, you can try to top each other with cheesy vids. Bonus marks if you can connect them in some way.

Since we've been talking about Hall and Oates recently and since they have a whole whack of cheesy vids, I'm starting us off with this classic take on a Mike Oldfield song.

Third annual pop-schlock vid-off

While the first two vid-off's happened the day after the all star game, due to bad planning on my part I won't be available that day. So this year it's on Thursday. There's still no baseball and ya'll are getting itchy.

The background for this event can be found in last year's post. Basically, it's to see who can top each other with the cheesiest vid or song. The 80s seem to be a good place to start for us old fogeys. The young un's can go with contemporary.

So I want to start us out with Ghostbusters. It's surprisingly hard to find since the vid is blocked for Canada, probably because of all the unpaid SAG actors in it. Go to this link. See if you can guess all the people appearing. You can read about the making of the vid here, where there's a partial list.



A reminder that the best way to navigate the thread is to click next to your name and select Hide Media. You'll still be able to click on any vid you'd like to watch and it won't slow it down to a halt.

Second annual DJF pop-schlock vid-off

The first annual started last year back at AS the night after the all-star game.

(I highly recommend skimming through the original thread. Noopi predicted the deadline trades and Andrew was talking about how to make the comments a better place, which led to Noop becoming mod after writing a passionate defense of our community.)

I want to make this a tradition, so here we go.
