2011 (like 2010) was all about the internet viral: confrontational, over the top, shocking. Even horrifying by times or just plain odd. Everything was done to become visible in a bizarre jungle of available music. The motto of the year: Crazier is better.
Below you’ll find the proper ingredients for a delicious, marvellous and (of course) ridiculous videoclip. This recipe pretty much sums up the weirdest clips of 2011 that won the battle for our attention.

Major Lazer ft. The Partysquad – Original Don
To start properly we need a half-blind granny dressed in an entire training-outfit. Despite of the tracksuit she actually has to look a lot like Betty White. That’s because, in my opinion, it makes this dish even more awesome. The next step is: we put Betty in the kitchen with a gigantic spear, while the producer just quietly reads a book. Makes sense right? Additionally we pick some pink-shirted blond girl dancing with a samurai-sword and a bloke holding a butterfly-knife doing some serious shuffling. Oddness on a scale from 1 to 10? Eight point three.

Death Grips – Guillotine (It goes Yah)
Get a car and get in. Ask a friend or random other person with a drivers-license to drive and film at the same time. Important additional thingies: wear your seat-belt and buy a blueberry air-freshener. Next task: rap three to four minutes while driving around your block. Don’t forget to yell every twenty seconds in a very angry way. Upload all your footage to Windows Movie Maker and put a huge amount of ‘grain’ on it. Congratulations: you just made a fantastic cup of ridiculous.

Crystal Fighters – Swallow
The following ingredients are definitely coming handy when shooting a more horrific video. First: ask a random girl with long hair to take a walk in the park. Secondly, give her a bottle of whisky and third: give her some of the clothes the Crystal Fighters wear during a liveshow. Considerable for this kind of strangeness is that the girl in the clip has to touch everything like it’s the sixpack of Ryan Gosling. Everything, so even: fences, walls and – how can I forget – the bottom of the pool. Load in your film footage and then add a gigantic amount of flashes. Until you get an epileptic seizure, that is. (Tip: featuring small children in the background will improve nebulosity.)

Duck Sauce – Big Bad Wolf
Much less dark and bloodthirsty than the example above, but just as delicious, is too use your balls instead of your brains. For this kind of clip you have to put a little bit more effort in your casting. You need two guys, preferably friends. The first one has to work in a shoeshop, the second guy has to bake (unbelievably gross) hamburgers in a restaurant. But, that’s not hardest part. The hard part is namely in their pants, living and loving their life as a dickhead.

The Black Keys – Lonely Boy
Call Will Smith. Ask him to send over his cousin Carlton. A simple recipe that just can’t go wrong.
