Why do we like this?

This week, Danny Brown dropped the visuals for his frantic, manic single "Ain't It Funny" off last year's Atrocity Exhibition. The bizarre, confronting and fairly graphic clip was directed by none other than Jonah Hill, and parodies cheesy '80s laugh-track family sitcoms in amazing fashion.

The story follows a regular '80s family (starring Joanna Kerns and Gus Van Sant) and "Uncle Danny", who proceeds to indulge in excessive drugs and alcohol. The audience responds with roaring laughter, but the subtitles tell a different, much darker story - one which reflects the dichotomy in Brown's music to a tee. 

Danny Brown's album Atrocity Exhibition is out now via Warp Records.
