Help me build an aesthetically-pleasing video playlist!

I'd like to create a Youtube video playlist of short videos of odd, somewhat disturbing, and aesthetically pleasing videos to have playing on mute while listening to indie party music. Suggestions welcome!

Now that I've got some time, I'm looking for short videos (each under 4-5 min max., over 5 if it's v v special) to play at future parties that would inspire conversation on odd/slightly disturbing/challenging scenes playing in the background. Think background visual interest along the lines of Matta's Release the Freq or Birdy Nam Nam's The Parachute Ending or Autistic Fong's Mindfuckery video. I've also got videos of skatboarding down hills alongside the ocean, flip book stories, and early videos of hands/animals/eyeballs. Music is along the lines of indie pop/rock and alternative tunes. Thanks!

I always include clips from Pee-Wee's Playhouse or other oddball kids shows when I do this kind of thing :D

Old school Sesame Street vignettes work also.

EXP TV was posted to the blue recently, might fit the bill

There's a music sub-genre called SIMPSONWAVE, the music is kinda fun but the videos are slightly mutated Simpson clips that would work well. Here's a playlist.

Depends if you're going to have the audio on on the videos or are just looking for videos. I love everything Floria Sigismondi has ever done (very beautiful and creepy) but don't actually enjoy most of the music in the videos (Marilyn Manson).

How To Make Eggs Benedict needs to be on that list.

Response by poster: These are great, thank you all so much! To clarify, these videos will be playing on my tv with sound off while my music plays on speakers, creating a visual background for my bangin’ tunes, I don’t care about the video audio, only the video, thanks!
