	Great. Would love to see a full-length quiz like this.

	Not as common as the garbage blowing in a windstorm cliche, but very enjoyable.

	Oh my god, what a brilliant idea for a quiz... though there is no way, with that Rihanna clip, that the quiz could ever be featured on the site. Not that I care, of course- the quiz is awesome, and Rihanna is hot.

	Only 10% recognise "Mind Playing Tricks On Me"? Sporcle's userbase disappoints yet again...

	@juror8: yeah, I got the idea for the quiz while watching the vid for "Mind Playing Tricks". Classic '90s hip-hop. @mimitchi86, anybody else: I'd love to hear suggestions for other videos that feature this particular cliche. It seems to have been common in the early MTV days, and is now enjoying a bit of a renaissance.

	@mimitchi86 and LevellingUp : Gavin Rossdale - Forever May You Run

	This quiz could be so much harder if you got rid of the music

	November Rain, right?

	LevellingUp:	Oct 5th, 2011 at 13:34 GMT	2 points
	@Havok3595: hmmm...according to strict international table-flip standards of which only I am aware, a table must achieve at least a 30 degree slant from horizontal to qualify. The brief shot of the wineglass falling off the slightly askew table in November Rain doesn't make the cut, especially as it's unclear what exactly is propelling the table. @the_hmh_project: Holy crap now that's a table flip. In a video overstuffed with great music video cliches, too. If I find a few more like that, I'll redo the quiz.

	@LevellingUp - thank you! I can't think of any more, but I'm sure there must be some. I'll keep looking. In the mean time; a similar quiz with boats? (I'm On a Boat, Break Your Heart, Karma Chameleon, On Melancholy Hill, If I Die Young... there must be enough of them to make a full quiz, or at least one this size.)

	Very brief, but definitely there in Maroon 5's "Wake Up Call" - Second Chorus.

	@hmh: Another great one. I'm glad somebody else is helping me hunt the elusive quarry of the music video tableflip. One or two more, I'll create a new montage video and update the quiz.

	One more music video cliche; That streak of blue-ish light that always flashes across the screen whenever there's a light in the background.

	@LevellingUp: Typical. The Rube Goldberg Machine in This Too Shall Pass flips chairs, filing cabinets, smashes a television and a piano, and even drops a car. And yet - no table flip. The search continues... anyone wanna help me and @LevellingUp out and try to find some music videos with table flips?

	bandersnatch:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 13:34 GMT	1 point
	Utterly hilarious. I love it :)

	the_hmh_project:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 17:24 GMT	1 point
	Does Stewie Griffin from Family Guy's cover of "Everything I Do (I Do It All For You)" count? I know we already have one comedy one, but still.

	nightfloat:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 21:51 GMT	1 point
	This is brilliant.

	LevellingUp:	Dec 3rd, 2011 at 16:26 GMT	1 point
	@the_hmh_project: No to Family Guy. I'm sticking with MTV-style videos. Another I've found and rejected is Pavement's "Cut Your Hair". Great song, great video, but the table flip is more of a pratfall than the high drama displayed above.

	the_hmh_project:	Dec 6th, 2011 at 17:02 GMT	1 point
	@LevellingUp: I'm all for saying no to the Family Guy one, and I think we should find another one, but I don't think you should be too picky. It's dramatic in the sense that it's unexpected and kind of meta - it has that same tinge of self-awareness that Gavin Rossdale or Billy Joel had.

	Okay, I've got five more, which is enough to do a new clip montage. It helps that a pop megastar was kind enough to release a video with a beautiful, classic table flip since I first put up the quiz. Look for an update to the quiz within the next week or so.

	YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Thanks for letting me help, and being so dedicated with finding all these clips! I would love to see what the other clips are, and who the pop mega-star is...

	This is fantastic. LevellingUp, will the sequel come soon?
