MTV Video Mods (with Guest Jonathan)
Episode 4
Thursday, 4 September, 2025
Let's just smash video games and music videos together and see if that makes a TV show. In fall of 2004 and spring of 2005, MTV2 aired an animated TV series that paired popular music with videogame characters performing the songs. It didn't make a lot of sense then and it makes even less sense now. We're going to dissect it with our resident MTV expert, Jonathan Off Road Rules. Some of these videos simply must be seen to be believed, so check out this playlist ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL38BvmoESdUrZPvrisgUzRRYVqSwDN-zb&feature=shared ) or search Video Mods on YouTube to see even more. For further reading, most of our behind the scenes information was sourced either directly from the YouTube videos themselves or from this article on Polygon: https://www.polygon.com/24213898/mtv-video-mods-retrospective-what-happened/ Declan had the choice between dental surgery and discussing MTV, and made the appropriate choice.
