MTV 25 Lame 10-9 (Vanilla Ice incident)

[AmbassadorOutcast]

I loved 25 Lame. It was so funny.

[FarleyTube]

Oddly enough, "Ice Ice Baby" has rebounded from the backlash to being nostalgically recalled and over-karaoke'd.

[benjaminshinobi]

this was pre Jon Stewart on the daily show right?

[JaemzStar]

lol and this was actually on mtv, now they brainwash everyone to think the shit that is overplayed is good

[kcmet79]

5:44 - Chris Kattan "wait, how did they do this effect?" lmao

[Alfredo78666]

Hosted by the 4 lamest personalities, what kind of artistic value stuff theyre doing now?

[ElMarineroErrante]

And thus the last time MTV ever captured the attention of the nation with something worth watching was recorded. The end.

Let's see what else is on Youtube...

[darrenmuse]

This shit was crazy!

[TRJ22487ISDEAD]

I remember this 100%. I was twelve years old.

[ontologica]

Haven't seen Debbie Gibson in a long while, but seeing her now, she looks like a prettier version of Brittany.

[rdfox76]

Man, they were so totally egging him on before he cut loose. I mean, you can hear Denis say "...and then you can destroy the set" right before they showed the video. Yeah, we got us something as rigged as pro wrestling here, folks. ;-)

[moznico]

1 Day til 2000...Damn I feel old...XD

[BrianSATX79]

I think he felt humiliated, I don't blame him for going off!

[JackieSweetlips]

why does he say he's nineteen?He was born in 1967,that would make him 23 in 1990.Little strange.

[smoke5one3]

@JackieSweetlips he was 19 in the ice ice baby video

[privateproperty93]

@JackieSweetlips you're right, i never understood that either.

[khemvika]

Thank you! I remember seeing this presentation on MTV. They were so FUNNY (esp. Denis Leary).

[emannershyatt]

No, Vanilla!

[ashburn247]

holy crap i barely remember this....but somehow i do.....

[chershma]

damn, I remember watching this live. Good times. Also, at the 8:24 mark, it looks like Vanilla is gearing up to hit Stewart, but then doesn't and goes for the end table.

[JarrodCook93]

I know he says hes 19 in that video but he was born in 1967, he was 19 in 1986. that doesnt make sense.

[TruthinFilm]

DAMN !

I absolutely LOVE this clip. To see pompus jerks like the hosts (tho Dennis was cool) get all fetal and defensive when VanWinkle goes postal is awesome! ESPECIALLY that c--t Janeane Garofalo !

What an absolute treat.

what a treat

[purelh]

this is back when mtv was cool this is an all star funny cast hostin a show now it would be some teenage preggo hos from 16 and pregnant hostin it yeh mtv RIP

[ZackyThaKid]

he was right ... no one has to be publicly humiliated like that ! especially from the same people who made tons of money of your back and then let you down ... !

[reynaldomonterrey]

THIS GUYS R REAL ASSHOLES THEY ALSO LOVE THIS VIDS AT THEIR TIMES NOW THEY R DISRESPECTING THEM,FUKKING LOWLIVES!!!

[pontifractusay]

@thegoteam He WAS on the daily show here. This was like 99/2000. Jon just regresses when he gets around Denis Leary.

[FreshPS3gamer]

LOL the fake doll mouth open when it got hit 8:55

[Havermayer]

Vanilla Ice is a huge faggot, and a complete moron. 

[sanpablos39]

No Vanilla! Vanilla! 8:36-8:40 I live jus for that part! I mean it was that damn funny!

I love it! lol

[qukarlz]

i love they're all scared shitless of rob

[Monehan]

wow

there chris kataan

jon stewart

and denis leary

[lovelexi19]

Haha Vanilla freaked the crap out of Chris!!

[tedkissel]

MTV or MTV 2 what ever they both suck now should both do a 25 lame about Boy Band videos like N' Sync, Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears, Christian Agulara, 98 degrees, O Town, the Spice Girls, Soluja Boy, Soul Discision, New Kids On The Block, Pittbull ect....

[PersianButtons]

@tedkissel I thought there WAS a Spice Girl song on this countdown. Spice Up Your Life? Wasn't it in the 20's? I haven't seen this since it came out. But I'm pretty sure the Spice Girls were in this.

[tedkissel]

@PersianButtons

No there wasn't, there should have been but there wasn't. Plus about 1/2 the list was BS anyways. I mean don't get me wrong Vanilla Ice, Don Johnson, and Debbie Gibson suck so bad they shouldn't even be called music. But Warrent, Winger, Motley Crue, Paula Abdul, and Hall and Oats are good music.

[tedkissel]

@PersianButtons

Post cont.

So they should re-due the list and put artist like the Spice Girls, N'Sync, Brittany Spears, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Christina Agulara, New Kids on the Block, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, and 98 degrees (the worst band ever created) on the countdown. They couldn't put them on back in 1999 because that type of BS was popular.

[PersianButtons]

@tedkissel I dunno, I thought pretty much all of these videos and songs were at least painfully corny. I like two or three of the artists on the list but I still think these videos were pretty lame. I mean, Michael Jackson is known for making some of the greatest videos ever made but that video with him and Eddie Murphy was dementedly stupid. I think it would have been number one if the two of them weren't known for normally being pioneers in their field.

[tedkissel]

@PersianButtons

OK, first off I will agree with you Michael Jackson was the king of pop and because Eddie Murphy is an actor NOT A SINGER he did screw up the song you are talking about. But come one serously I can think of way worst videos then all the ones on the countdown aside form Don Johnson, Vanilla Ice, Cunky A, and Wham! that were made at the time of the count down and wern't on it.

[tedkissel]

@PersianButtons Post cont. and those videos are New Kids on the Block-Step By Step Brittany Spears-Hit Me Baby One More Time Backstreet Boys-I'll Never Break Your Heart N'Sync-Drive Myself Crazy Jordan Knight-Do It For You Joey McAntire-I Love You Came To Late 98 Degrees-Because of You Anything by Shenea O'Conor Spice Girls-Wannabe Hanson-Umm Bop Ricky Martin-Livin La Viva Loca Anything by Mystikal Da Bears-Superbowl Shuffle New England Patriots-Super Bowl Shuffle Five-When the Lights Go Out

[PersianButtons]

@tedkissel Yeah, I guess it comes down it being a popularity contest and looking back at trends and saying, "wasn't that stupid?" The principle of it is just mean in general and I think the real point of it is so that MTV can appeal to whatever audience is their target audience at the time. So "lame" = the cheesy videos from the previous generation that the new generation doesn't like. And yeah, the truth is the MJ/Eddie video wasn't THAT bad, it just wasn't "cool" enough.

[tedkissel]

@PersianButtons

Na the point of this show was to show how stupid cheesy and lame videos were back in the 1980s and early 1990s (well I guess Los Del Rio was 1996). Since because of show's like Beavis and Butthead people growing up in the mid to late 1990s always hated music from the 1980's and early 1990's.

[tedkissel]

@PersianButtons

Post Cont, But personally I think this video makes MTV special show makes MTV look like hypocrites considering the fact that it was made back in 1999 when LAME ACTS like N'Sync, the Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears, 98 Degrees, Hanson, the Spice Girls, New Kids on the Block as solo artist, and Rickey Martin who all had some idiot fat ass write their own songs were popular.

[tedkissel]

@PersianButtons

Well I guess that is basically the same thing you said and I just said it to have another excuse to diss boy bands/teanie boppers.

[thegoteam]

I remember watching this countdown on MTV back in the day.

I always thought pre-Daily Show Jon Stewart was a huge asshole. Especially on this special where he's so snarky and dickish.

But I've loved him since he joined the Daily Show.

[carlawon]

debbie gibson is pretty hot!!!!!!!!!

[shaybean54]

love this!

[eliobus2]

So this is why they stopped playing music videos on MTV. Vanilla Ice destroyed them all.

[Tommyknocker11]

skip to 8:16 for Vanilla Ice spazzing out

[LordNotis]

Love the Dr. Evil shirt

[lilsexybroad]

Vanilla looks exactly like my boyfriend damn he's gonna get some tonight cause I just got turned on by Vanilla. BOTH ARE SEXXXY

[ShinRyojin]

@lilsexybroad Be sure not to bring a baseball bat.

[ElRancholo2]

ouch.....painful for Vanilla Ice, poor vato.

[missyheart311]

classic. i have this on VHS somewhere :)

[SDallstar]

i remember this shit, VERY entertaining...where the rest, please

[mrmoraelin]

holy crap, exactly what i was looking for, sorta.. i wanted the part where janeane was defending 4 non blonds.. but yeah..this was 11 years ago... look how young they look... john stewart.. haha wow... man... i mean.. im at a loss for words.. i want a time machine!!!!

[6Ott7]

I remember this. This show eventually got out of control. Everyone basically just said fuck the script and winged the rest of it. They started lighting up cigarettes and getting drunk. Fuckin Classic.

[lordofthescooby]

MTV needs new shows like this. But they'd probably pick a horrible panel. So maybe not.

[meinLiebsterFeind]

Yeah, there is way worse shit than this... Check out anythign by Lil' Wayne, hannah montana, avril lavigne etc..

[cannedkitty]

No, Vanilla. Vanilla!

[FullMetalShaman]

electric youth... wannabe MJ?

[cramdogg]

okay if you cant remember chris katan understandable but if you cant remember who john stewart or fuckin denis leary is, get your head checked man.

[faraon2012]

MTV ILUMINATTI

[IceMaxx2k9]

It is so simple to destroy!!! ... but so hard to build/create something ... those were the times ppl ... imagine someone from 2035 destroying a video of someone okay in 2007 ... how's that??? ... b.t.w. ... tomorrow I will remember the artists but I will NOT remember these morons from MTV ... such an irony :))

[RobTFirefly]

There won't be videotapes to physically destroy in the future.  Tune in 25 years from now and watch today's hot young artists aggressively right-click and delete a file.

[AchrisH]

@RobTFirefly LMAO - your comment is classic.

[meinLiebsterFeind]

You might remember John Stewart

[Baldenlong77]

I'm lucky to still have the whole show on tape. I'd post it but the last time somebody did Viacom made YouTube take the clips down. I love when they're making fun of Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-go" video and how obviously gay George Michael was but nobody realized it back in 1984!

[desertbutt]

i see nothing wrong with Debbie....

[rhythmiche]

at least he knew how to be spontaneous. rip rock and roll

[damiaking]

wow thats how mtv was when it has a real music televition channel now mtv is bullshit

[cyspy]

hahaha that was awesome.

[jerkfaceloser]

this was the last really entertaining thing i ever saw on mtv. i quit watching altogether soon after this. thanks for posting! would love to see the whole thing.

[purelh]

after 99 mtv was starting to go down hill

[bolderr]

please post the entire clip! i love the part when they were dissing journey.

saying "ben stiller, jeff foxworthy!..."

so hilarious!

please post!!!!please!!!

[BrooklynRose5]

This was one of the funniest things I have ever seen - truly a comedic gem. I just wish this would be on DVD or something. Please, someone post the whole thing! :)

[M33MarieL]

NO Vanilla! VANILLA!!!

Lmao. Priceless.

[doicha27]

what the fuck!?! Chris Katan, Denis Leary, and John Stewart? What the fuck are they doing on MTV?

[shaky145]

what a bunch of wankers

[trashywilma]

i had this recorded on tape when it came out (1999?) and i used to watch it over and over. it made me smile. i wish i could watch the entire thing again. :)

[Underneathitall5]

You and me both, trashywilma. I had it taped also, but either I lost the tape or I taped over it because it's long gone now. :(

[newwavewitch]

oh me too, absolutely. and then the tape broke, and my heart was broken thereafter.

i'd kill to see the whole show again.

[marty7044]

i think he got kicked off the set after that. mtv was pissed. i think that was the end of the show though, they were going to take down the set anyways.

[ScottfromTexas]

What is MTV's deal? This is one of the best things they ever did and they won't release it. It seemed actually impomptu. The bit about Clockwork Orange and Jenneane peeing on the video had me rolling.

[davebo15]

holy cow! Now I can see why they were kissing up to him on set. He went totally loco. I thought Kattan was going to die.

[moznico]

This was the most hilarious thing I remembered from this year 1999! Thank u, Thank u for posting. I had this recorded on my VHS but thank god I can now watch this whenever I want...

[Jedsb]

great vid

i cant watch this video Uw

[TinaLovesTre4eva]

LOVE U CHRIS KATTAN!! KIP IS COOL KIP IS COOL KIP IS COOL!!!! I didnt like it when that dude threatened Chris with the bat, i was so scared :(

[DayDay198523]

my favorite ones that they made fun of was journey "serparate ways", wham "wake me up", nelson "after the rain", and of course don johnson "heartbeat" im glad youve got 2 of them on here...im so happy someone had it...i use to but that tape got ruined...thank you so much for posting it

[kitkatt24]

Thank you so much for putting this show up! This was the funniest show EVER on MTV!! You made my night! I have been looking EVERYWHERE for this!

[SmokinBabies]

wish kataan wasnt in this

[glickle]

No way. Kattan was the only one who got it. Can't remember which video, but the whole crew was making there usual condescending comments about the band they were watching being all washed up. (As authorities on cool are wont to do) When Chris cut them all down with: "Hey guys, lighten up! That's probably us in 10 years."

I never cared for Katan, but found new respect for him that he could cut through his own self annointed "cooler than you" because I'm a sarcastic celebrity Bull$hit.

[SmokinBabies]

oh well i havent seen that part. i guess i just said that cause it got a lil' awkward but now that i think about it, theyre all just assholes.

[bucketsofmonkeys]

"No, Vanilla! Vanilla!"

I cracked up.

UPLOAD THE REST PLEASE!

[JML101582]

Vanilla Ice is a still joke after almost 20 years.

I used to like him back in the day when I was eight years old, but then again it was back when I used to wear Hypercolor T-Shirts and Zumba pants.

[boxmonster]

Keep them coming!

[mdb717]

Please put the rest on here. Thanks

[spaceytraci17]

"No Vanilla!" HAHAHAHA!  Funny shit

[billywillyjilly]

uncomfortable.
