Black Sabbath was responsible for many heavy metal staples: “Iron Man,” “Crazy Train,” and “Paranoid” (shown above). MTV recognized Ozzy’s outfit as the Greatest Metal Band of All Time. Sabbath is pretty good, but I think VH1 was probably a bit more accurate ranking them at second, behind Led Zeppelin.

Remember these ice cream shooters? You would push a button and the foam “ice cream” would come flying out of the cone. I used to torment my little sister by shooting her in the head with this silly toy. I wish I still had one, they crack me up!

I remember most school supplies — namely folders — featured pencils and books and other school supplies on them. The Lisa Frank brand wanted to showcase a more accurate depiction of school: Tripping on hallucinogens. That rainbow-colored unicorn got me through the 6th grade, man!

More awesomely bad videos this week. Leave your suggestions for awesomely bad videos in the comments!

“Reality” by Richard Sanderson
Not trying to be mean, but I couldn’t stop looking at Richard Sanderson’s awful teeth. I mean, if your teeth are that bad, why would you make a video that only features your head for four and a half minutes? But at least this proves that you can turn a bad Sears portrait into a music video, if you have some creepy zombie hands in the background.

“Hang Up The Phone” by Annie Golden submitted by CosmykDolfyn
I like the end of the video when Annie Golden and her boy toy are dancing/trying to head butt each other.

“I Wanna Be a Lifeguard” by Blotto also submitted by CosmykDolfyn (nice work)

Did anyone tell Blotto they were acting like idiots?

“I’m Over You” by Sequal submitted by QuoteMan
You know what they say: if you can’t dance, hide it with a lot of blinking horizontal lines.

Hanna-Barbera counterpart to The Flintstones, The Jetsons live in a futuristic utopia ruled by conveyer belts. The show ran for 75 episodes, but they never got to the impending robotic uprising, led by Rosie the disgruntled housekeeper. It seemed like only a matter of time until the superior robots rose up and enslaved their human overlords.
