5. Mariko Takahashi’s Fitness Video For Being Appraised As An Ex-Fat Girl (2004)
IN WHAT WAY IS IT DERANGED?
This nightmare-fuel video was inexplicably produced by Panasonic for the 2004 Olympic Games. A parody of an earlier vid by ’90s weight-loss legend Susan Powter, it features poodles performing an aerobics class, lead by model Takahashi, who wears a bodysuit designed to make her resemble a buff mutt, because WTF.
PEAK OF THE FREAKINESS
1:27, when the dog on the left-hand side can’t keep up with the moves. THEY’RE JUST LIKE US! Also: the poodle with a groin-bulge to rival David Bowie’s Labyrinth schlong, at 2:47.
TYPICAL YOUTUBE COMMENT

IS IT A WORKOUT YOU’D ACTUALLY DO?
If it were possible, yes – it’d be great for burning off puppy fat *cymbal crash*.
