Sabotage

If you were a teenage boy in 1994, you remember this music video VERY well. Quite funny, but even more so if you've seen any '70s cop shows.

One of my favorite music videos of all time... Only surpassed by Britney Spears' Oops I did it again! ;-) No really... A great video...

An energetic blast of awesomeness.

It's an amazing song and an awesome video...but it's just that: a music video. It's not a short film or a musical despite the fact that the guy who directed it went on to direct several feature films.

Why is this on Criticker?

Gotta love the Beastie Boys, but do we really need music videos on this site? Not that they're not score-worthy, but there's such a shitload of videos... where should one draw the line?

Made better after repeated viewings of Detroit 9000, Dragnet and TJ Hooker.

I know I try to keep shorts and music videos out of this, but come on, Sabotage.

Ben Affleck WISHES he could have fit this much 70s kitsch into "Argo".

I guess I also question having music videos on here, mainly because judged against other music videos this has been one of the most memorable (and nostalgic to watch) for me personally and I would prolly give it a hundred. Well, whatever. It's a great video.

Replicates the '70s cop-show style, but with little to no actual pastiche or parody.

Pretty cool music video.

Simplistic but hilarious take. Perfect for King Adrocks screeching.

A well-shot action parody by Spike Jonze.

One of the ten best music videos I've ever seen.

Greatest music video ever.

Gets very old very fast

haha this rules

Remember the good ole days when the entire LA police force was just three Beastie Boys with fake mustaches?

The greatest music video of all-time. "This is Sir Stewart Wallace, he plays himself!"

lamest thing ever? the music is horrendous.

I love this but have no idea why it's on here. I love Spike's sloppy cinematography.

Great short and great song.

Just fuckin'awesome.

Let's be honest, we're mainly ranking the song, and it's such a good song. But, partly for socio-technological reasons, the early 90s were a time when music videos really meshed the audio and visuals together to create an intermediary art form. And the humor of Sabotage's video was apt. For me, its visual track will forever be imbued in the memory of the song.

I dont know why this is on here, but WHATEVA.

This "90" goes out to the person who decided to include this on Criticker lol

This rules so fucking hard.
