My thoughts: not a whole lot of surprises here, though I feel like "Mission Statement" could use (slightly) more love, and even though "Whatever You Like" might very well be my least favorite Weird Al song of all time, I actually enjoy the video a lot with all the references. I would've ranked it higher than several of the Alpocalypse videos still in the running.

I actually have a theory that DDTS wouldn't have ranked quite so low if it hadn't been for "TMZ." Now they get lumped together as the dreaded pair of Bill Plympton videos, but DDTS actually works as a story despite the fact that the visuals feel like a rough draft. I mean, it wouldn't have been too much higher, but it might've escaped the bottom five.
A little disappointed to see Stop Forwarding... so low. I knew the videos with the least Al/least jokes would be the lowest, but I enjoy the kinetic type format, and I thought this one was pretty clever. Yes, Jarrett Heather blew it out of the water this year, but it still capitalized on the form in a way that "Mission Statement" didn't with the whiteboard concept.
I also think Christmas at Ground Zero is the perfect video for that song.
How much better could the Bob video have been though? I've always thought the resentment against the Bob video is 100% due to the fact that, at the time, it felt like a consolation prize for not getting a Couch Potato video. It still stands alone as an awesome video for what it is.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.
I think I am the only one here that actually liked Sports Song as a video. It was simple, but it was perfect for the song. Would have hoped it would have been higher on the list.
