Glenn Beck may be a cable news staple but one thing is very clear – he is no journalist. Instead, the man flails himself around Fox News as an actor, a nonsensical lunatic, a raging bull wedged behind the confines of a camera lense. So what better way to celebrate this poor excuse for a pundit than to countdown the top five videos of classic Glenn Beck moments. It was hard to narrow it down for there are just so many!  Here’s what stuck out to us most:

5. HIT-ON GOES HAYWIRE

This is arguably Beck’s first coming-out of crazy. It was back during his CNN days, when he was pretending to be more of a democrat and in doing so, creeps out an US Weekly reporter by inviting her to take some nudie pictures for him after the interview, in the name of an American Idol scandal. Was he kidding? We’d like to think not.

4. MISS MARY WACK, WACK, WACK

Playing like a 3rd grader on the school playground, Beck takes a moment to make fun of President Obama’s disabled aunt, silently mouthing that he stole her cane and giving himself bunny ears.

3. GET OFF MY PHONE

More than his constant crying, we love it when Beck shrieks like a hysterical teenager that just won concert tickets off the radio. Except, he’s talking about important things like the country’s deficit. The beauty of the internet also bought us the remix. PS – Why do these guys love to scream?

2. PRETTY FUELISH

Is all that making fun of Barack Obama just a huge ploy because Beck is really just jealous and wants to be president himself? Because here he actually pretends to be, literally pouring gasoline on a guest and fellow Fox News employee, which is somehow supposed to symbolize what Obama is doing to the country. Yay, we’re all on fire!

1. THE 9/12 DEBACLE

The infamous 9/12 project produced Beck’s best signature moment complete with his aforementioned crying and empty stares into the camera. Here, Beck calls out to the people – you are not alone! – to stand up for their country, surround “them” and act the way they did the day after the tragedy of 9/11. Perhaps Glenn himself should’ve go back to that thinking as well.
