The Muser's Handbook: Essential Funny MUSE Moments

Manager and childhood friend of the band, Tom Kirk really takes things to heart...
The anniversary of my first Muse concert is coming up and I thought, what better way to celebrate that than to share some of my favorite funny Muse videos? So here is a compilation of wacky, weird and wonderful, MUSE!
*Just a little heads up that there is some language/mature content in a couple of these vids - the 2nd and 3rd last in particular

Let's start things off with a little gay cheese...

and you can't skip out on part 2!!

Then there's the classic fanvid:

And let's not forget the Italian talk-show prank!

Ever wondered where the "pwopa fish" came from? It's a little long but the key moments are at 1:02 and 2:25!

And what about Matt and Dom and the meaning of love? "yeahwellmaybe!"
 

A lesson in English from Matt - "take you to a higher level...":
Can you say it now? 
If you still 'want more' I've added a non-Muse but still highly educational song at the end of the post, 
as always, 4URaMUSEment ;)

A very special personal fav - it's been on my iPod for a couple years now....
cracks me up every time! XD

*EXTRA STUFF!!!
"Floccinaucinihilipilication:
why use several words when just the one will do?" 

And here is a little something that I put together for the aformentioned word a while back:

Floccinaucinihilipilification /

[flok-suh-naw-suh-nahy-hil-uh-pil-uh-fi-key-shuh n]

(noun) the action or habit of judging something to be worthless

The 18th-century Eton Latin Grammar handbook had listed in a rule a set of words which all meant “of little or no value”: flocci, nauci, nihili, and pili. As a learned joke, somebody put all four of these together and stuck –fication on the end to make a noun for the act of deciding that something is totally and absolutely valueless (his homework, perhaps?). There is also a widely unused verb, floccinaucinihilipilificate, and a more accessible noun, floccinaucity [fla-si-naw-sĂȘ-tee] "a trifle, something of insignificance".

The first recorded use is by William Shenstone in a letter in 1741:
“I loved him for nothing so much as his flocci-nauci-nihili-pili-fication of money.”
