One of the premiere [[FanVid Anime Music Video (AMV)]] movements on the Internet. It uses short AMV clips to parody whatever anime and/or songs it uses. There are two primary methods it uses to do this. One is to take a fairly normal (often pop) song with metaphorical lyrics and use the clip to suggest a more literal interpretation. This new interpretation of the lyrics will often create extreme LyricalDissonance. The second method is to take a song which is already weird, funny, or obscene, and match it to a corresponding weird, funny, or obscene anime.

On May 31, the next ''two'' projects were announced: ''AMV Hell 6:'' ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' ''Hell'' and ''AMV Hell 6: The End Of The Universe''. The former will be entirely composed of clips either taken from or referencing parts of the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise, and the latter will mostly have to do with the 2012 End of the World theory. The latter had its rough-cut premiere at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2012 and was slated for release on [[MeaningfulReleaseDate December 21st of that year]], but SSGWNBTD was unable to further tweak it.

One of the premiere [[FanVid Anime Music Video (AMV)]] movements on the Internet. It uses short AMV clips to parody whatever anime and/or songs it uses. There are two primary methods it uses to do this. One is to take a fairly normal (often pop) song with metaphorical lyrics and use the clip to suggest a more literal interpretation. This new interpretation of the lyrics will often create extreme LyricalDissonance. The second method is to take a song which is already weird, funny, or obscene, and match it to a corresponding weird, funny, or obscene anime.

Now, on to the history. In May 2004, a handful of AMV makers released the original ''AMV Hell''. It was little more than a fun little experiment, but it caught on, much to their surprise. The creators simultaneously released ''AMV Hell 2: Son Of AMV Hell'', the place for the less family-friendly content, so as not to "pollute" the first; that way, the first could be shown at conventions without fear of inappropriate content (which it was, many times).

The establishment of ''AMV Hell'' as a serious franchise came with ''AMV Hell 3: The Motion Picture'' in September 2005; roughly an hour long, it featured dozens of contributors and had no end of oddball (and often downright hilarious) shorts. The jump from short five-minute humorous snippets to an epic like that made a lot of people stand up and take notice.

Simultaneously released with ''AMV Hell 3'' was ''AMV Hell 0'', which the creators described as "the more irreverant ''[sic]'' side of AMV Hell. And by irreverent, we mean it's ''[also sic]'' one of the most offensive, disgusting, pornographic, vile, worthless pieces of garbage ever conceived." Similar in concept to AMV Hell 2, it consisted of a series of seamier clips with overt sexual or scatological content that would be unsuitable for public consumption (AMV Hells 1, 3, 4, and 5 were produced with theater showings at conventions in mind, and their content is censored to reflect this). Consequently ''AMV Hell 0'' has a high {{Squick}} factor and is prefaced by an Adult Content label.

In June 2006 came ''AMV Hell: Championship Edition'', a contest held by the ''AMV Hell'' creators in which contestants were given specified songs and told to make the funniest video they could. The top 55 videos were turned into the ''Championship Edition'' compilation.

And then there was the big one: September 2007 saw the release of ''[[ColonCancer AMV Hell 3: The Motion Picture II: AMV Hell 4: The Last One]]''. With over two hundred and fifty videos, it was another hour-and-a-half epic, and the ''AMV Hell'' team swore they'd never do it again...probably because the effort on this one almost killed them.

But, of course, they didn't stick to that. In September 2008, the team released ''AMV Hell Divided By 0'', which in a case of RefugeInAudacity deliberately set out to push the extremes of X-ratings (and poor taste) - whereas Hell 0 was largely comprised of conventional hentai, Divided By Zero jumped further still by focusing mainly on openly fetishistic content.

After letting the series rest and recuperate for a few months one of the original creators, Zarxrax, introduced the [[http://amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvminisdownload "AMV Minis"]] in July 2009. In an attempt to maintain and provide an outlet for continued interest in the AMV Hell brand while lessening the workload of its management, the "AMV Minis" consist of a series of shorter videos released more frequently, as opposed to the feature-length events of Hells 3-5. These Minis are comparable in scale to the original AMV Hell, but are comprised entirely of submissions from other editors and do not have clips created by Zarxrax himself. The "first season" of the Minis runs to thirteen episodes: eleven regular editions and two special editions - one focusing exclusively on Manga/AzumangaDaioh (an abidingly popular subject for clips and skits throughout the AMV Hells) and the other a collection of "Bad Stuff", something like the Minis' own Episode 0. The second season was launched in April 2011; the first episode of the new season responded to viewer feedback that criticized the proliferation of dialogue-based skits and skits that felt dragged out and overlong in earlier Hells and Minis by limiting submissions to a maximum of seven seconds and requiring their accompanying audio to be music or song, as well as banning skits based on FamilyGuy. This immediately provoked a rash of complaints moaning about a bewildering pace and a nostalgic fondness for ''Family Guy'', illustrating that the AMV Minis suffer from a petulant and UnpleasableFanbase.

While the first season of AMV Minis was being released, the next full feature - ''AMV Hell 5: Dedicated to Dio'' (dedicated both to Ronnie James Dio as well as an AMV creator whose works had graced previous AMV Hells) was developed alongside it. Co-creator SSGWNBTD began accepting submissions to in September 2009, and on July 30 2010, ''AMV Hell 5'' (partially) premiered at Otakon 2010. It was shown to be almost complete, only missing an opening and closing. It premiered in full at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2010 on September 17, 2010, and is now available to download from the AMV Hell website or watch on Website/{{Youtube}}.

On May 31, the next ''two'' projects were announced: ''AMV Hell 6:'' ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' ''Hell'' and ''AMV Hell 6: The End Of The Universe''. The former will be entirely composed of clips either taken from or referencing parts of the ''Final Fantasy'' franchise, and the latter will mostly have to do with the 2012 End of the World theory.

The series has had a considerable influence over AMV making - imitators who were inspired by the "multiple-short-AMV-clips" style have been described as making their videos in "AMV Hell style." In essence, the page-topping quote became a reality.

'''This series provides examples of:'''

* ActorAllusion: As a nod to the dub cast of ''{{Ponyo}}'', one clip in ''AMV Hell 5'' features [[LiamNeeson Ponyo's father]] quoting the BadassBoast from ''Film/{{Taken}}''.
* AffectionateParody: ''AMV Hell 2'' contains a parody of the "Evangelion Opus" [[FanVid AMV]]; ''AMV Hell 3'' contains parodies of the "Danger: Low Brow Humor", "Euphoria", and "Shounen Bushidou" [[FanVid AMVs]]. For good measure, ''AMV Hell 0'' does a second parody of "Euphoria" (mixing ''RahXephon'' with Music/MindlessSelfIndulgence's "Faggot").
** ''AMV Hell 3'' also has a parody of Kevin Caldwell's "Believe".
** ''AMV Hell 3'' contains an edited version of the ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' end credits (mixed with ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'') and ''AMV Hell 4'' contains a version of the second season ''Manga/DeathNote'' opening (mixed with ''Anime/LuckyStar'').
** AMV editor Vic Bond 007 is infamous for his use of the lens-flare special effect. ''AMV Hell 3'' features a clip attributed to "Vic Bond 008" that consists of nothing but lens flares.
* TheAristocrats: Appears in ''Divided By Zero'', narrated by [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Nyamo]].
* AscendedMeme: MediaBlasters has used signs that only say "[[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Gentlemen, behold! CORN!!]]" to advertise ''Boku no Sexual Harassment'' at conventions.
* AxCrazy: ''Divided By Zero'' does this one literally.
* BlackComedy: Taken to its literal extreme in ''AMV Hell 0'' and ''AMV Hell Divided by 0''; you '''will''' be offended by these two videos, guaranteed. Hell, ''AMV Hell 0's'' disclaimer says that "this stuff is so bad we never should have even made it".
** ''AMV Hell 5'' had a clip where dead babies were crawling out of the ground -- the anime is Manga/DetroitMetalCity, and the song is Tragedy's metal cover of [[Music/TheBeeGees "You Should Be Dancing"]].
* BlackComedyRape: "[[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Gentlemen, behold! CORN!]]" and its sequel "[[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Gentlemen! I bring you...MORE CORN!]]"
* BookEnds: ''AMV Hell 0'' starts and ends with both Dr. Weird "Corn" scenes.
* BrainBleach: /0's closing credits will do their best to ruin your sex forever. BreakingTheFourthWall can be scary indeed.
* BrickJoke: Using Creator/MontyPython's "Argument" sketch.
* BRollRebus: A lot of humor comes from visually representing lyrics literally.
* ColonCancer: ''AMV Hell 4'''s full title is "AMV Hell 3: The Motion Picture II: AMV Hell 4: The Last One".
** While ''AMV Hell 5'' was eventually released under the more manageable title of "AMV Hell 5: Dedicated to Dio", during its development phase it was advertised on the animemusicvideos.org website as "AMV Hell 3: The Motion Picture III: AMV Hell 5: [[LampshadeHanging Your Banner Is Too Big]]". For at least one con appearance, the last bit was instead noted as "Your Subtitle Is Too Big".
* CoveredInGunge: [[IncrediblyLamePun A little all over]], but mainly concentrated in ''AMV Hell 0'' and ''AMV Hell Divided By 0''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Averted. GraveOfTheFireflies and BarefootGen among others are made fun of just to prove it.
* FanDisservice and FanService: 0 and Divided By 0 are made largely from {{Hentai}}.
* FanVid
* FreezeFrameBonus: Tay Zonday's head in the BarefootGen Hiroshima nuclear blast in ''Divided by 0'', and several in the Manga/RozenMaiden Master of Puppets clip from ''AMV Hell 5''.
** [[LOLCats Ceiling Cat]] in the ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' clip in ''Divided by 0''.
* GallowsHumor: ''AMV Hell Divided By 0'' does this one literally.
* GirlWatching
* IncrediblyLamePun: Crops up from time to time with things like [[Anime/ParanoiaAgent Shonen]] {{Batman}} or Microsoft [[Anime/ExcelSaga Excel]].
* InMemoriam: ''AMV Hell 5'' is dedicated to both legendary rocker RonnieJamesDio and Justin Rollins, an AMV creator (and major contributor to ''AMV Hell 3'') who fell victim to cancer.
* IntercourseWithYou
* KickTheDog
* MundaneMadeAwesome: The "Previously" segment at the beginning of ''AMV Hell 4''.
** And [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Tomo, Kagura and Osaka]] combining their intellects... to the sound "[[CombiningMecha Destiny Combining]], GurrenLagann! [[CatchPhrase Just who the hell do you think we are]]!?!?!"
** "[[{{Koyaanisqatsi}} Koya]][[{{Scrubs}} anis]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pYs9IP7aWY qatsi...]]"
* MushroomSamba: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRTjtpkLGoA I'M ON SHROOMS!]]
* PantyShot: ''AMV Hell 4'' has a montage of this, which comes entirely from NajicaBlitzTactics, performed to the clip of [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy when Peter Griffin out-farted Michael Moore]].
** There was one in ''AMV Hell 3''. Except nobody noticed that because the rest of the clip involved a guy who gets boobs and THAT in his face.
* RapidFireComedy: Most segments last no more than thirty seconds at the most, and many are shorter.
** The AMV Minis' first episode of the 2nd season has all of its clips under 7 seconds.
* RealSongThemeTune: Well, kinda. ''AMV Hell 3'' had as its intro [[Music/{{ACDC}} AC/DC's]] "Highway to Hell", set to original animation, and ''AMV Hell 5'', in keeping with its dedication to Ronnie James Dio, had TenaciousD's "Dio" set to ''Manga/KOn'' and ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.
* RefugeInVulgarity: Debatable at times.
** ''Divided By 0'' is about 25% coprophilia jokes.
* RunningGag: ''AMV Hell 2'' had one spoofing the the long shot of EVA-01 grasping Kaworu from NeonGenesisEvangelion; ''AMV Hell 3'' has a series of variations of the "Ellen Fleiss" parody segment from ''AMV Hell 1''. In a case of either a RunningGag or everyone going to the same well, ''AMV Hell 5'' seems to use clips set to "[[RobotUnicornAttack Always]]."
** The [[http://www.amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvhell3 credits]] for ''AMV Hell 3'' refer to them as "[[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Osaka]] Cutaways".
*** They now have an AMV Mini devoted exclusively to [[http://amvhell.com/video.php?do=viewdetails&videoid=369 Azumanga]].
** A [[VisualPun visual example]] is found in the [[http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/celebrity_and_showbiz/watch/v6330212H2dfz9ry deleted scenes]] from ''AMV Hell 3'' beginning at the 7:24 mark.
** ''AMV Hell 5'' also features about three clips set to "[[{{Beyonce}} Halo]]".
** 4 has repeated clips to ImogenHeap's "Hide and Seek".
** One of them did so many variations of the end of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' that it really turned into an [[OverlyLongGag Overly Long]] RunningGag.
** The WesternAnimation special had 3 "[[TheOC Dear]] [[Memes/SaturdayNightLive Sister]]" jokes, but after the third the server crashes, stating that "the Dear Sister quota for this video has been exceeded".
** Each of the mainline AMV Hells starts with (or has near the beginning) a clip which prominently features Gag Boobs and is set to some kind of hard rock (usually metal).
* ScoobyDoobyDoors: Done with the cast of ''Manga/OnePiece'', with [[ScoobyDoo Fred and Daphne]] [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext fly by on a carpet in the background.]]
* ShockSite: ''AMV Hell 0'' contains a scene of [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Sakaki]] opening a [[spoiler: Last Measure]] link.
* SoundtrackDissonance: Much of the humor comes from such juxtapositions.
** Quite possibly the ultimate example, in ''AMV Hell 5''... [[TransformersTheMovie Unicron eating a planet]], set to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aXujOsWJkY Parry Gripp's "Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom"]]!
* VisualPun: Sprinkled about for good measure.
