Well, of course. How could I fucking forget that one.
Although their video for Wishing is arguably even more "80s."
Note how they envisioned the coming of the blue-tooth ear thingy.
I think The Fixx is pretty hard to beat for 80's -ness insofar as their videos captured the essence of the medium at that time - low-budget, experimental, a bit nonsensical, silly-in-retrospect-but-fucking-cool-when-was-11.
My favorite video of the High MTV Era (which I would peg as roughly 1980-1986).

I think Glass Tiger is a good example of the latter MTV Period, when they started spending money on videos for no apparent reason. I mean, why is the guitar player doing his solo on top of a mountain? I guess that shot is from a helicopter. That must have cost a fucking fortune.

Glass Tiger = an early example of NPS excess. We've become more efficient at producing crap music as time has passed, and increased the variety of our crapness, too.
You will all eventually pledge allegiance to Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne or Nickelback. And then you will be putty in our hands.

Ahhh...the classics.
And a brilliant homage.
Edit: Shit. I see fox has started enforcing writs on YouTube.

Doesn't this belong in the spanking new "Films and TV" section?
Anyway, I wasted quite a bit of valuable work time checking out (ha ha) Chad Vader episodes, I think there are about 8 in total.
Sort of a mix between The Office and Star Wars with no effects , no acting; but somehow it tickles me in a gentle way.
Heres the link to episode 1.

I tought that the most '80s thing on YouTube was that old McDonald's commercial with Jason Alexander in a Miami Vice-style jacket.
Anyhow, I resurrected this thread to mention my new favorite things on YouTube: "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" (my current earworm, in fact) and "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck."
