Over the history of music videos, what characters have you personally considered iconis to you?

I'll start. The yuppie in Yes' "Owner Of A Lonely Heart". He spends most of the video being beaten and tortured until he finally jumps off the roof of the building and turns into a bird and flies off. I love the end when he's on his way to work and says "fuck it" to himself and walks away.

The dad in the Twisted Sister video's "We're Not Gonna Take It" and other videos from them.

Mark Metcalf, the actor portraying the father in the video, had previously played Neidermeyer, the ROTC student commander in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978). In a reference to his role in the film, Metcalf says "A Twisted Sister pin? On your uniform?!" in the video which also features excessive bowel movements. Snider himself can also be heard cursing and swearing the question "A pledge pin? On your uniform?" at the end of the song.

Janie from Aerosmith's "Janie's Got A Gun".

Poor girl was an emotional wreck thanks to perv dad, even after she takes matters in her own hands she's still a mess...

I'm not sure this counts as a "character," but Robert Palmer's suit-and-tie-clad persona, along with his expertly dressed and made-up backup dancers, are certainly iconic.

And the backup dancers were sexy as all hell back in the day

Yes, good one, TD!
And Robert Palmer's "character" in "Simply Irrestible", "Addicted To Love" and a third music video counts.

How about Waldo in Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher"??? Heehee And finding young David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony lookalikes was pretty cool, too.

The car in all the 80's ZZ top videos.





The girls changed a few times during that run of videos but the car was the same.

Always considered "Captain" Lou Albano from the Cyndi Lauper "Girls just Want to Have Fun" video one of the major icons... at least what stands out in my mind trying to think of any.

I'm going with Cyndi Lauper's naked body in "I Drove All Night". ;-)
I turned on VH1 Classic about twenty minutes ago and the music video was on. This was always one of my favorites by Cyndi ["She Bop" being my all-time favorite Cyndi song].
Cyndi is as naked as Miley in "Wrecking Ball" though we see a lot less of Cyndi. Cyndi does let us see side boob, yummy.
Another scene made me think of a scene from Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble". Taylor was on her knees and lays on her back with her legs wide open in tight jeans. Cyndi is wearing a dress singing into the microphone when she lays on her back, legs wide open straddling the microphone stand, another yummy scene. ;-)
