The 10 Worst Music Videos of 2011

| We're on the fence about Katy Perry in "E.T." |
"Need You Now" -- Cut Copy
We really don't get what the M.O. was meant to be with this video -- it starts off as an incredibly cheesy Nike commercial that converts to a gladiator-esque fight, all of which doesn't even remotely relate back to the song's lyrics. We're giving the Aussie boys the benefit of the doubt and assuming they purposefully aimed for the campy, sporty effect -- making the video so out of character that it's funny. As one YouTube commenter accurately put it, "This is what would happen if they ever shut down World of Warcraft."
9. The Boring One
"Love On Top" -- Beyonce
We love three solid minutes of staring at Beyonce as much as the next guy, but couldn't they at least have put her in something skimpier to keep us entertained?
8. The Too-Violent One
"Ruffneck" -- Skrillex
First he killed music, then he beat Santa. We're all for changing up videos from the standard Taio Cruz skimpy-girls-on-cars fare, but wailing on Santa is crossing a line -- no one wants to watch a beloved, benevolent childhood figure suddenly turn violent. Apparently, we aren't ready for the ruffneck bass.
