VH-1 plays less videos than...

[Guest Mole]

People always crap on MTV because they never play any videos. However, it seems that VH-1 plays less videos than MTV does. So how come VH-1 doesn't get flammed all the time?

 

I actually like MTV because it doesn't make you think when you watch the shows. Besides, I don't even like the music that MTV plays, it is all poppy shit anyway. The music sucks on any of those channels anway, so who cares about the videos. MTV wouldn't get HALF of the ratings it would get if it played just videos. Sorry for the rant.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

BUT...

 

VH1 has I love the 80's.

 

And for that they are to be worshiped.

[Guest the pinjockey]

Damn straight!

 

I Love the 80s Rules

[Guest Mole]

DAHH, I hate the 80s.

[Guest RepoMan]

Well, at least everything still does relate to music in some way for the most part.

[Guest razazteca]

William Shattner plays One Hit Wonders and Behind the Music is subject related unlike MTV which has 6 reality shows on non stop.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Vh1 isn't as big a name as MTV, nor was there ever really a heavy focus on videos for Vh1, who were catering to an older pre-video crowd from the start. Go back and look at Vh1 from the beginning and you'll see that they were never video heavy, as opposed to MTV who swore up and down that they were music television and would always be video heavy. Besides, Vh1 classic plays nothing but videos.

[Guest Mole]

VH-1 used to gear towards the older audience, but they now try to focus on the younger audience.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

VH-1 used to gear towards the older audience, but they now try to focus on the younger audience.

No. I would just say the younger audience is getting older and the older audience is too damn old.

[Guest Mole]

VH-1 used to gear towards the older audience, but they now try to focus on the younger audience.

No. I would just say the younger audience is getting older and the older audience is too damn old.

Well it seems they are trying to get my age, 19, to watch the channel for often. When they have Behind the Music on Biggie Smalls, I think they are targetting my age demographic.

[Guest Kinetic]

Well, I agree with both of you to a certain extent, but I think the thing to remember is that when...oh, no! I'm being eaten by a walrus! Help! Help!

[Guest Mole]

Huh?

[Guest starvenger]

Doesn't VH-1 stand for "Video Hits 1"?

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Well, I agree with both of you to a certain extent, but I think the thing to remember is that when...oh, no! I'm being eaten by a walrus! Help! Help!

*Burp*

 

Koo-koo Ka-choo, bitch.

[Guest Mik at Cornell]

I personally can't wait for I Love the 90s.

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

VH1 stands for "Videos Here First"

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

VH1 gave us "Top 25 Bad Asses In Music Of All-Time," "Top 100 Hard Rock Acts" (which, for the most part, was rather accurate...aside from Motörhead not touching the top 10), "Behind The Music," and "I Love The 80's." They also play movies that are related to music in some way. What does MTV do?

"HEY KIDS, DON'T BE HATIN'! NEVERMIND OUR LACK OF MUSIC AT ALL, DON'T DISLIKE SOMEBODY BASED ON SEX OR SEXUAL PREFERENCE!"

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

oh...and MTV had that godawful movie with Beyonce Knowles in it... that remake of Carmen...

[Guest The Czech Republic]

I actually like MTV because it doesn't make you think

someone post the "MTV Get Off The Air" lyrics ASAP!

[Guest goodhelmet]

ok, vh1 does stand for Video Hits 1.

 

it began in the mid-80s as an alternative for 20-30 somethings in the 80's who preferred MOR music opposed to whatever Mtv was showing in 85-86.

 

What VH1 did in the last couple of years is gear their programming to the programming Mtv should have been doing all along.

 

I find Mtv unwatchable. The video awards use to grab my attention but they are completely forgettable now.

 

With the exception of the DIVA abortions, I can find myself glued to VH1 for hours at a time. The only current channel that can keep my interest.

[MCPB]

A little goon

in a locker room

rat-tails the octaroon

He'll be drinking vodka soon

and his big brothers are frat guys

whose IQs lose to their fitted baseball hat size

Smirkin' jocks with hackysacks

in Birkenstocks and khaki slacks

I'm the hypest lyricist

while they're like, "What type of beer is this?"

The liquid is ubiquitous

and has such a hold

on all the strata, it's just got to be

government-controlled

Behind the bottle and the throne

sits an unknown man wiser

and bigger for the liquor store

the number one franchiser

Perhaps George Bush and his sons

are relatives of Anheiser

 

I wanted to get in a pooper hole one day

so I invited girls over on Super Bowl Sunday

only one showed up: Princess Superstar

 

[PS]

Thanks for inviting me over

let me look around the bed post

(bad dill folds?) back to back black dildos

nice kit kudos

pass the cool ranch doritos

I love nachos

put on Fat Joe

naw, that really sucks, let's put on the Beatles

Yo, let's check the half time show

I hope it's Michael Jackson

singin Satisfaction with Hanson

or Luther Vandross in a sparkling costume

with big pants dancin

or maybe I saw that in a Bud Light commercial

speakin' of which, give this bitch

a drink quick to wet my lips

you got enough cheddar lyin' around this place to

fix

up my tits

as if I need it...

 

[MCPB]

Conchetta please!

If you see any chedda'

it's chedda cheese

I'm easily great

I don't need to be in some sort of (cankeesy?) state

to create something you can appreciate

 

[PS] Who are you talkin to?

[MCPB] Makin you draw conclusions

and superficial distinctions make you go sacreu bleu

 

[PS]

I can speak French too

suck my nuh-nuh

french my cunt

comprande voux?

Look Pepe Le Pieux

let's cut to the (de nu-mon?)

you wanna fuck me, I wanna fuck you

so it's on.

 

[MCPB]

Can I chime in?

I'll still be rhymin'

when I'm in your hymen

I radiate like it was '88

and I'm searching for my lady mate

I'm a hunter-gatherer

a cunter-latherer

My dandy voice makes the most anti-choice

granny's panties moist

 

I do the new when the tried and true fails

plus I'm lookin' fly in my sky blue tails

Now peel off your tube top

so I can feel your boobs flop on my lubed cock

socks up to your calf like a chick from the (craff?)

I wanna put on a serated condom and saw you in half

 

[PS]

My knees are weak, I need knee-pads

you fuck me blind, I can't see, dag!

run me a hot bath add the epsom salt

soak my lower half in your Mortal Kombat cocktail sauce

let me head south

put it in my mouth

cause I like the taste.

 

[MCPB]

When I burst in your face

I'll invade your personal space

 

[PS]

I'm like Chase, stick your card in and out

Thanks see, look how much stacks of cream are coming out

 

[MCPB]

I removed her sanitary napkin with my teeth

and there was a planetary backspin underneath

I faced her wound

Let's do a pap smear with a taster spoon

you can sleep on the guest cot

I'll sleep in the wet spot

 

(Singing)

I'll be your boyfriend

Smooch on your pooper hole

all through the Super Bowl

your man doesn't even miss you

glued to the boob tube, watchya gonna do dude?

 

I woke up sticky

and quickly applied a temporary tattoo to a hickey

went to salt and shake her awake

with orange juice, a straw, and coffee cake

after we had a bite,

we pushed the canoe in the lake

 

[PS] You don't paddle right

[MCPB] Look, a shooting star!

[PS] It's a fuckin satellite

[MCPB] Lady, one more complaint

and I'll shove a rape-whistle up the Mrs. Va-J-J

(starts whistling)

 

[PS]

What'd you say?!?!

Listen Slim Shay-day

tell Dre he better fuckin pay may (me)

(starts laughing)

 

[MCPB]

Your talents are bite-size

it's no suprise you rhyme with white guys

I jumped in the water

what did I want a girlfriend for?

Just like you, you jizz on your floor.

I don't want sweet potatoes anymore

I didn't even leave her an oar

did a medium crawl stroke back to shore

 

Who's next to flirt with this exhausting extrovert?

I parted some (palm frawns?)

Guess who left me dry long johns

Uncle Ralph McDaniels

He said "what's up Paul Nathaniel Barman

let's get MTV off the air I deserve my own channel."

 

People watch VH1? Stop! They'll cater to you and ruin it for me! You bastards! I'll always love 1984, even if those stupid fucks left off the most important event in the entire year, my birthday!

[Guest godthedog]

I personally can't wait for I Love the 90s.

i am so getting on that show.

 

i've even got my "ian michael black-esque" schtick lined up for it, where i talk about how trent reznor & kurt cobain inspired an unprecedented phenomenon of depressed teens writing shitty, angsty, "my life sucks" poetry, the likes of which have never been seen since, and whose reverberations are still being felt today in shitty, angsty, "my life sucks" songs by nickleback and linkin park.

[Guest El Satanico]

evenflow...were those the lyrics to "MTV get of the air" by Dead Kennedys? Or were those the lyrics to a different "MTV get off the air" song?

[Guest Plushy Al Logan]

"HEY KIDS, DON'T BE HATIN'! NEVERMIND OUR LACK OF MUSIC AT ALL, DON'T DISLIKE SOMEBODY BASED ON SEX OR SEXUAL PREFERENCE!"

MTV has actually caused me to hate Homosexuals,

 

Me homosexuals is not the answer

 

Me MTV is the answer.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

evenflow...were those the lyrics to "MTV get of the air" by Dead Kennedys? Or were those the lyrics to a different "MTV get off the air" song?

The Dead Kennedys? Ahh... you assume I listen to good music. Alas, it's not so. Those were the lyrics to "MTV Get Off the Air pt. 2" by MC Paul Barman. Here you are...

 

Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair

Flame up the herb

Woof down the beer

[click!]

Hi

I'm your video DJ

I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes

I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go

 

My job is to help destroy

What's left of your imagination

By feeding you endless doses

Of sugar-coated mindless garbage

 

So don't create

Be sedate

Be a vegetable at home

And thwack on that dial

If we have our way even you will believe

This is the future of rock and roll

 

How far will you go

How low will you stoop

To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill

 

You've turned rock and roll rebellion

Into Pat Boone sedation

Making sure nothing's left to the imagination

 

M.T.V. Get off the

M.T.V. Get off the

M.T.V. Get off the air

Get off the air

 

See the latest rejects from the muppet show

Wag their tits and their dicks

As they lip-synch on screen

There's something I don't like

About a band who always smiles

Another tax write-off

For some schmuck who doesn't care

 

M.T.V. Get off the air

And so it was

Our beloved corporate gods

Claimed they created rock video

Allowing it to sink as low in one year

As commercial TV has in 25

"It's the new frontier," they say

It's wide open, anything can happen

But you've got a lot of nerve

To call yourself a pioneer

When you're too god-damn conservative

To take real chances.

 

Tin-eared

Graph-paper brained accountants

Instead of music fans

Call all the shots at giant record companies now

 

The lowest common denominator rules

Forget honesty

Forget creativity

The dumbest buy the mostest

That's the name of the game

 

But sales are slumping

And no one will say why

Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

 

M.T.V.-Get off the air!

NOW

[Guest Mole]

Well, just from today's schedule, MTV played 12.5 hours of videos, while VH-1 played 8 hours of videos.

 

MTV played more videos, so I ask again, why do people flame MTV for never playing videos, when VH-1 plays less videos. Why don't I hear people flame VH-1 for never playing videos?

 

It is a music station, so shouldn't it play more videos?

 

Besides, that is why MTV has MTV 2, for the videos to be played.

[Guest El Satanico]

So MTV played 11.5 hours of shows that are either remotely related to music or not related to music at all, while VH1 played 16 hours of music related shows.

 

Therefore, MTV still deserves it more

[Guest Mole]

Ohh okay, I understand your point now.

 

I still think MTV gets a bad rap, that is just me though.

[Guest starvenger]

Well, just from today's schedule, MTV played 12.5 hours of videos, while VH-1 played 8 hours of videos.

My question is, WHEN did these videos air? Having videos on during the day is all well and good, but those of us that work would NEVER see them.

 

Besides, that is why MTV has MTV 2, for the videos to be played.

That's in the digital range down here in Houston - and that's extra money that I'm not willing to pay...

[Guest Mole]

My question is, WHEN did these videos air? Having videos on during the day is all well and good, but those of us that work would NEVER see them.

 

Well, I am going to use a weekday schedule because that is what I used for the 12.5 hours. These are the following hours MTV has vidoes on: 6am, 7am, 9am, 10am, 11am, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 2:30am, 3:30am, 4am, 5am.

 

On a weekday, VH-1 shows videos on these hours: 6am, 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am, 3am, 4am, and 5am.

 

VH-1 shows videos at the same hours that MTV, just none during the day.

 

One argument that people make is that VH-1 shows more music related shows. On May 19th, VH-1 only shows ONE music related show: "50 Greatest Women of the Video Era."

 

On the other hand, on May 19th MTV has 4 shows that are music related: "MTV Cribs presents: How To Live Like A Rock Star 2," "Duets," and "Making the Video"(on twice).

 

On May 19th MTV has 11 1/2 hours of videos, while VH-1 has 8 hours of vidoes. MTV has 2 hours of music related programming, while VH-1 has 2 hours of music related programming.

 

All together, MTV has 13 1/2 hours of music related television. VH-1 has 10 hours of music related television. MTV wins, but still gets a bad rap.

 

MTV has a lot of 'crap' TV on, so that is why people don't like it. However, VH-1 has plenty of 'crap' television shows also.

 

Once again, for May 19th, here are the shows that MTV is showing that isn't music related. After each show I will either give a grade for if it is 'crap' TV, or something that is good for teenagers to watch or new related. If it is crap, it will get a 1, if it is good, it will get a 2.

 

MTV: "Surf Girls"(1), "True Life: I have an Eating Disorder"(2), "Fake ID Jr."(1), "When I was 17"(1), "Fight For Your Rights: Protect Yourself: Gender Gap"(2), "True Life"(2), "The Real World/Road Rules Battle Of The Sexes"(1), "Road Rules XII"(1), "Surf Girls"(1), "Jackass"(1), "True Life"(2), "MTV Original Film: Wasted"(Don't know what it is about, so I'll give it a 1).

 

Now for VH-1:

"VH1 Special: When Cameras Cross the Line"(1), "World's Sexiest Commercials"(1), "ET on VH1"(2), "Red Hot Red Carpet"(1), "VH1 All Access: Hot Sexy Now"(1), "Reality Wrap-Up"(1), "World's Sexiest Commericals"(1), "ET on VH1"(2), "100% NYC: Tribeca Film Festival"(2), "Can't Hardly Wait"(1), "Red Hot Red Carpet"(1), "100% NYC: Tribeca Film Festival"(2), "Red Hot Red Carpet"(1), "VH1 All Access: Hot Sexy Now"(1)

 

MTV has 4 shows that equal good programming, not crap. VH-1, they have 4 programs that are good programming, not crap. Basically, people's arguements don't really fit because MTV shows just as much 'crap' TV that VH-1 shows. And MTV has more music related programming in one day than VH-1 does.

 

Yes, this is only one day, but I can't do an average for a whole week. That would take a long time and I don't want to do it. If someone else wants to, knock themselves out.
