Britney Spears, our favorite almost-30-year-old, meltdown-prone mom is trying to keep her music videos sexy. It isn't working and here are some lowlights from her new vid for "I Wanna Go."

Robots. People keep turning into androids. The video ends with a guy giving her a handful of seashells before winking at the camera with a glowing eye and cackling. It's a total Wacko Jacko ripoff. And sad to say, this ain't a "Thriller," Brit.

Spiked boots. Not kinky, just creepy.

Creepy sexual innuendos. A guy pours milk all over his face while driving with Britney in the passenger seat. Again, creepy. And stupid.

Man in a plastic crown. Maybe you hadn't heard, but even Burger King realized this was a bad idea.

All we can say is WTF, Britney?
