masters of the music video

someone asked me what my favorite music video is. trick question. music videos are either brilliantly wonderful or terribly sucktastic. there is no middle ground here. so when asked about my favorite, i was stumped. but only for like a second. then i remembered how ok go has cemented their status as masters of the music video. for realsies. every video they make is genius. i'll prove it. enter exhibit a:



awesome.
not convinced? check out this little somethin'-somethin':



who comes up with this stuff? don't know, don't care so long as they continue to do so. like they did here:



why yes, that is the notre dame marching band. that, my friends, is clout. as if that wasn't enough, they went and made another video for the same song. overkill? maybe, but i prefer to think of it as strategic. i've saved the best for last here:



masterful.

We feel the same way over here about OK Go and their videos. The best. Ever.

that is soooo funny, cause right when i started reading this i thought to myself, 'well every single ok go video is pure genius, so there is no way i could chose, but if the kind of favorite we are talking about, is the kind that is so awful, you just love it to death, then that would have to be total eclipse of the heart.' the ninjas get me every time.
so basically what im saying is...yes. ok go=awesome. :)
