VH1 have balls.
I'm not sure how anything as off-the-wall as this was ever approved. They're pretty amazing.
What do they achieve for the brand?
They are a risk - positioning the brand as a risk taker, maybe? Perhaps this is an effort to create differentiation from other music channels like MTV? Maybe they're an attempt to cut through the bullshit and talk to the more cynical members of the viewing public? I think that who ever did approve them, deserves a pat on the back.
I think the first video is a very wry commentary. It can be taken on face value as a whimsical answer to an existential question, what happens when two opposites collide? However, it's also showing our cultures' accelerated desire for extremes (biggest, wildest, most) and showing them for what they are .. totally gross. It's cutting this against the grossness of it's logical opposite and the result is so completely unexpected, that the viewer is left with no final answer.
It doesn't patronise the viewer. I'd say the result is very close to an artistic statement.
The second video seems to be taking the piss out of reality / tv-poll culture that's become so dominant on western pop-TV .. again it's pretty cutting; the punch-line, what sells? -> answer 'breasts' .. what's the logical extreme? .. a breast with tits.
But it's also goes even further in it's analysis and commentary of the TV culture. The viewers are voting for representations of themselves -> again, what's the logical extreme? .. the viewers are subsumed by their TV cultivated desire for tits so much so, that they are manifested as the breasted beasts they're voting for.
Brilliant.

Totally agree CALLES.
In a world which strives for superlatives - focus on what's in-between.
