I don't make a point of watching VH1 but when I stumbled across VH1's "Big on '03" show on Sunday night I stopped to watch the antics. There was a lot of bad humor and pop-culture excessiveness. There were however a few good moments worth laughing about.

There was a reference to the iPod "jacking" phenomena which was mentioned in this Wired article. Katie Holmes and Bernie Mac came out wearing iPods and Apple earbuds. Bernie's earphone cord trailed off the stage though. They went through the motions of asking each other what the other was listening to and Bernie pulled on his cord, dragging Al Green onstage.

Also tapped as a presenter for the Biggest, Guiltiest Pleasure award, David Cross, true to himself, went a little bit outside the script while he and Sarah Silverman were riding Seques around the stage. If you have seen David Cross before you would understand that there's no way I can describe his humor here.

Other than that, most of the show was pretty cheezy although Outkast's performance was good.
