When Christopher Ward was still the best VJ on MuchMusic he did a year-end 
run down called "Fromage" whereby he dressed up as a Paris street mime and 
ran the year's WORST videos. No smugness, just an obvious collection of crap 
that the station either played because the songs gained popularity, or 
material that was so horrible they never made it onto the air...until the 
countdown.

For perspective, Much would then run the 'best' of the year...giving 
everyone equal time.
