Musician John Mayer is arguably hot and deals well with the paparazzi, and maybe can play the guitar, but also is a Ron Paul fanatic, weak blogger and broadcaster and — oh, right! — Perez Hilton face-sucker. So: Yes, John Mayer Is That Bad. But now he's made a Spinal Tap-like video for FunnyOrDie.com, mocking the "creative process" of celebrity rock stars, and it's both self-deprecating and funny. It's also not personal enough to cut very deeply — nothing about Perez? — but with a few more of these could celeb-karmically balance the Perez makeout incident and Mayer could be back to Not That Bad or, dare to dream, Palatable. Mayer video after the jump.

God, what has that Kristin Bell chick been in again...? It's on the tip of my tongue.
@stephenhero: As long as she's not on the tip of his tongue, I'm fine.
Where's Mr. Sparky? Maybe self-applied ECT will wash the image of Veronica Mars and the Earl of Douchedom in the same room, talking, from my poor brain.
This is extremely confusing.
That was funny, but I found myself watching the scenes with the receptionist chick over and over again.
Meh. Not so much.
Something John Mayer was overhead saying to Mandy Moore at La Esquina last summer:
"Yeah, I like to have a glass of red wine before a show sometimes, but not every time. I don't wanna depend on it."
also,
"I really respect Jessica. She really gives it her all out there", referring to her concerts.
Also, is that Martin "Bill Haverchuck" Starr playing the "M" Chord?
His pants were too loose during requisite crotch shot. More peen = better video. Result? Failure.
Somebody help me hate him. I can't hate him, and I really really want to.
@AuntPenny: He macked on Perez Hilton. Keep thinking about if. Find a picture of Perez if you have to, just as a visual aid, preferably one where he has blue or pink hair. Bingo, you're there.
I actually thought that was hysterical. I can't hate him either.
@Smirk: Agreed. But what is also needed was for him to PLAY THE FREAKIN' SONG they talk about. That would have really finished it off.
Did anyone see John Mayer has a TV Show? I never liked him until I saw it. His willingness to mock himself is very Timberlake-on-SNL-esque.
The FX guys did a good job. His head actually appeared normal in size and none of the satellites were visible.
Ryan, I think it would be hot to argue with you about whether Mayer was hot.
This is hilarious.
The kid is sharp as a jack knife forged in hell, and shockingly egoless considering all he's got going for him with the whole fame thing.
I hold deep respect for anyone who can shamelessly make fun of themselves, and even more for someone who can roll with the punches, float out a flood, and just shake it off.
His internal badass kinda makes up for all the sappy chick songs he started out with.
@Buzz Killington: Is the receptionist chick the one that is married to the guy from O-town? Who also named their kid Lyric?
OK, now that I've heard his speaking voice, aside from the singing one, I can tell the rumours are definitely TRUE this guy likes to pee and shit on women during sex. He's still a good musician, albeit a stinky, dirty one.
@hhpeterson13: Dude, rumer mongering is so SWEET isn't it?!
(*rolls eyes*)
It's not like he's makin scheisser flicks and pandering them off on you.
Keep flaming the fire, it's just adding to the legend! LOL
OK, OK, I like John Mayer a bit better now.
@dandles: The Perez thing made me come as close to hating him as I ever have. But that had to have been a dare or....some kind of sell-your-soul-to-the-devil thing. I refuse to believe Mayer did that seriously and/or of his own volition. You can't make me!
At or around 2001, his band was sleeping with my friends. He had zero game and was religously not drinking/drugging at the time. So, he and I would talk while our friends fucked.
I'm quoting from memory. Until I have a better party story, repetition will keep these accurate. It's sad. I know.
He talked incessantly. Strange things John Mayer said to me when we were younger follow.
"I can invert my rectum into a long, pink tube."
"Sex is best in a bathtub with the water slowing draining out. It's like Titanic sex. Make sure she's on top."
"Sometimes, I think about faking a disability in order to challenge myself."
