Admit it, you love "Pop Up Video," VH1's highest-rated program for a time. Whether it was the facts about the videos and their artists or the witty commentaries, the show was a fun way to consume pop culture trivia, and shared a spirit with other classics of the era like "Beavis and Butt-head" and "Mystery Science Theater 3000." MSN is lucky enough to have a bunch of the videos now available in its catalog, and we've selected a couple of our favorites for you here.
