Making you laugh

I was trying to think of truly funny music videos today. Sure there are unintentionally funny videos, but it is much more rare to see a really funny one. I could think of three:

Yo La Tengo -- Sugarcube: Funniest of the funny. The Mr. Show guys take Yo La Tengo to rock school. This one is such a winner.

Foo Fighters -- Everlong: The Foos are known for funny videos but this one is awesome. So many details. The sidewise "what's up" peace sign on the photo on the wall, the Sid Vicious look just after punk Dave takes out the bad guys, the Evil Dead references. So good.

Foo Fighter -- Big Me: The Mentos joke carries the video the whole way through. Esp the mockery of the soccer dude's face.

OK and that's it. There MUST be other really funny videos. What am I missing?

I'd also add in a couple more:

The Strokes - Juicebox (w/ David Cross)
New Pornographers - Use It (w/ David Cross)
Tenacious D - Tribute (w/ Dave Grohl)
Foo Fighters - Learning to Fly (w/ Tenacious D)

And of course "You Don't Know Me By Now" by David Brent (Ricky Gervais)

I forgot about Pavement's "Painted Soldiers" It's comedy gold.
