I approve of this thread.

So, SO many worthy choices. Dale Earnhardt Jr showing absolutely no enthusiasm whatsoever makes him an early favourite, but then again so does Chuck Liddell's not-at-all steroid induced overenthusiasm. Nice to see Furio from The Sopranos and Geoffrey from The Fresh Prince again, but the real winner may be Nelly Furtado trying to look sexy while lip-syncing to Chad Kroeger.

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 23 December 2007 18:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Billy Gibbons is in the poll twice beacuse he's in the video a lot, obviously.

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 23 December 2007 18:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Nelly Furtado do look sexy. I enjoy Twista's performance. Middle dude at Checkpoint Charlie looks like Tim Robbins for a second.

The blue-green world is drenched with horse gore, Sunday, 23 December 2007 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link

none of the above

pc user, Sunday, 23 December 2007 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link

This is single of the year.

The blue-green world is drenched with horse gore, Sunday, 23 December 2007 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Lupe Fiasco's in it. I must not have watched closely enough.

curmudgeon, Sunday, 23 December 2007 18:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Okay, I voted Paul Wall, because he is Paul Wall.

The blue-green world is drenched with horse gore, Sunday, 23 December 2007 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Paul Wall really gets into the spirit of things, unlike Lupe and Twista

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 23 December 2007 18:55 (sixteen years ago) link

The clear choice is obviously Grant Hill.

matt2, Sunday, 23 December 2007 20:12 (sixteen years ago) link

Top 3 civillian contributions:

3. Guy pantomiming "eat my meals for free"
2. Fat guy joining Mile High Club
1. Jesus Christ pose stockbrocker

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 23 December 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link

The "HIDE OUT IN THE PRIVATE ROOMS" dude is pretty great as well

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 23 December 2007 20:24 (sixteen years ago) link

Bump, for fuck's sake.

Dom Passantino, Thursday, 27 December 2007 16:32 (sixteen years ago) link

omg my eyes, my ears!

jhøshea, Thursday, 27 December 2007 16:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Elliot Segal, DC101 DJ

I listen to this guy's show on my morning commute sometimes, when the video came out he played the song like 10 times.

Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 27 December 2007 16:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I had noooo idea that was Zach de la Rocha.

Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 27 December 2007 16:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I am not watching this, but I am voting for Eliza Dushku anyway

nabisco, Thursday, 27 December 2007 17:51 (sixteen years ago) link

^^ dare i say it the man is otm

gff, Thursday, 27 December 2007 17:54 (sixteen years ago) link

haha yeah she pretty much is the hottest chick in the whole video

Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 27 December 2007 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Kid Rock

stephen, Thursday, 27 December 2007 18:52 (sixteen years ago) link

most of the Actual Rock Stars hamming it up (Gene Simmons, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock) are the worst parts of the video, except for Billy Gibbons ordering a quesadilla.

Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 27 December 2007 18:54 (sixteen years ago) link

When I first heard about this song I thought it might be the first since "How You Remind Me" that I'd actively like but instead it turned out its the song that makes me officially Fucking Hate Nickelback.

da croupier, Thursday, 27 December 2007 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Their power ballads are SO much funnier than their jokes, evidently.

da croupier, Thursday, 27 December 2007 21:57 (sixteen years ago) link

This video can eat my shit.

billstevejim, Saturday, 29 December 2007 19:51 (sixteen years ago) link

This video would be a 0.0 if there was not a Grant Hill and Wayne Gretzky cameo. Even with Hill and Gretzky this video is only a 0.5.

Mr. Goodman, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:21 (sixteen years ago) link

Nickleback is stinky green diarrhea...so I haven't seen this video.

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:48 (sixteen years ago) link

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Monday, 31 December 2007 00:01 (sixteen years ago) link

So the ILM Brains Trust says no, but what do you, the people, think?

Noodle Vague, Monday, 31 December 2007 18:39 (sixteen years ago) link

how the hell did Grant Hill get in this video?

henry s, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link

i don't know if that's actually zack de la rocha, but i don't feel like watching the video again. i think he just has similar hair.

Lingbert, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ILX System, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 00:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Dammit the goths have won.

Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 00:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't understand how Grant Hill tied for 2nd place, but then it is a pretty impressive feat for him to look like the dorkiest, most awkward person in the whole video.

Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 00:07 (sixteen years ago) link

All I know about "Wayne Gretzky" is that he's a famous hockey player. Is he famous for his amazingly punchable face, or is this something that's overlooked?

Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 00:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Gretzky definitely deserved a vote. He's kinda rocking a Ray Romano vibe in this vid.

Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 00:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Great New Year choon btw.

Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 00:18 (sixteen years ago) link

wayne gretzky is famous for starring in early 90s cartoon, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProStars";>prostars</a>.

IT'S ALL ABOUT HELPING KIDS

Characters

Each character on ProStars has one overarching character trait. This is especially noticeable in the ProStars themselves.

* Wayne Gretzky (voiced by Townsend Coleman) nearly always plays the role of comic relief. Inexplicably, his mind is always on food.
* Bo Jackson (voiced by Dave Fennoy) provides the proverbial muscle for the heroes. He is immensely strong and has a bit of a mean streak. His strength often approaches superhuman levels, such as in the series opening where he uses a gigantic tree trunk like a club against a logging robot.
* Michael Jordan (voiced by Dorian Harewood) is the leader of the troupe. He is exceptionally smart and talented with complicated contraptions.
* Mom (voiced by Susan Silo), a quasi-Yiddish and Jewish mother stereotype, is the Q to the ProStars' James Bond. She constantly invents wacky gadgets loosely based on sports equipment for the heroes to use. The ProStars spend all their free time in "Mom's Gym," and possibly live there too.
* Denise (voiced by Diana Barrows) is an attractive young apprentice to Mom. She wants to help the ProStars, yet rarely makes an impact.
