MTV Video Mods – The Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off
This post is a part of the Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off series.
In fall of 2004 and spring of 2005, MTV2 aired an animated TV series that paired popular music and videogame characters performing the songs. It didn’t make a lot of sense then and it makes even less sense now, but we’re going to dissect it with our resident MTV expert, Jonathan Off Road Rules. Some of these videos simply must be seen to be believed, so check out this playlist or search Video Mods on YouTube to see even more. And for further reading, most of our behind the scenes information was sourced either directly from the YouTube videos themselves or from this article on Polygon.
We’ll be taking a few months off for travel and school but we should be back in November with 2 more new episodes of the Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off.

Daniel is a podcast producer and musician who spends way too much time in the edit to make audio sound as good as possible. He’s cutting the “umms” and “uhhhs” and replacing them with cartoon sound effects. His taste in video games is often extremely specific, and he’s recently learned that a lot of his opinions about video games are bad and wrong, but that won’t stop him from having them. His music was featured in Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. He's been producing podcasts since 2021.
