In other words, pretty much EVERYTHING about itThe items in this list have been selected by the author of the list for you to vote and comment on.
The Top Ten
1 The song's lyrics
Notice how none of their main segments connect to each other at all
Also, "THE PANIC, THE VOMIT, THE PANIC, THE VOMIT"
2 The fat naked businessman accidentally chops off his own axe-holding arm by outstretching it and swinging it around in a circle
I dunno, maybe his arm just got tired or something?
3 The lines "THE DUST AND THE SCREAMING" and "THE YUPPIES NETWORKING" are accompanied by Robin playing ping-pong with an angel, with a mermaid flapping its tail in the background
T.V. Tropes: Hilariously Unfitting Music
4 The fat naked businessman attempting to chop down the metal light pole with a (rather small) axe
Sorry, pal, not gonna work
(however, he DOES manage to SHAKE the light pole quite a lot)
5 After losing all of his limbs and sinking to the bottom of the local river, the fat naked businessman is picked up by mermaids, mummified into a ball shape and planted in a nearby tree
Don't even ask (shudders)
6 When the fat businessman sees Robin sitting atop the light pole, he responds by stripping himself naked and donning his bondage costume in the middle of an open public road
Notice how the black guy standing next to him takes a drink out of his flask for every ridiculous thing he sees during this part (awfully nice touch, ain't it)
7 A winged angel flying a helicopter
Probably the part that takes the lyrics most literally
8 Robin and his black best friend find a female prostitute living in a tree
Thankfully, her "opinion is" of no consequence at all
9 Robin gets beaten up at the local bar because he accidentally fell out of his chair
And also because he doesn't remember some random schmoe's name
10 Robin allegedly lives in Britain, and his local taxi driver is Danny DeVito
