Tony Hawk being in the Smells Like Nirvana video without Al knowing is the most Tony Hawk thing ever
-
The fact that musicians consider being parodied by Weird Al to be a higher honor than winning a Grammy speaks volumes of this legend.
-
Weird Al should, without a doubt, be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
-
I’m surprised he doesn’t mention the greatest thing about “Dare to be Stupid” which is that Mark Mothersbaugh was insanely envious about it and never truly forgave him for writing “the perfect Devo song” as he put it.
-
It's insane to me that Weird Al is 63. He's still got so much manic, friendly energy.
-
When Al said “we lost A LOT of extras that day” I got concerned for the worst
-
Dude is a national treasure. We need more weird Al’s in the world.
-
I love the story of Paul McCartney fanboying out the moment Al arrived at a record party. He was fully prepared to walk in there and feel like an outcast and talk to no one, and within two minutes Paul McCartney is hugging him.
-
Weird Al is one of those rare performers that’s able to be funny without resorting to being mean
-
The fact that Al does NOT legally need permission to make a parody yet he still won't if the artist doesn't approve because he doesn't want to offend their art is legendary.
-
Weird Al was the friend everyone wanted to have in his 20s, the uncle everyone wanted to have in his 40s and now in his 60s he's the grampa everyone want to have.
-
It would be cool if Weird Al could do the Super Bowl Halftime Show at some point. 🙂
-
My husband showed Amish Paradise to one of the Amish workers on the job site and he laughed at it and loved it!
-
It amazes me that this man has remained relevant for 40 years doing what he does. Parody is a niche at best. This man has made Parody a career. That's magic.
-
I love that for the Polka Face video he just told the animators "have fun!" A true artist, knowing that those artists would come up with something fun and unique he might never even think of
-
Such a nice and genuine guy. I've never heard one bad word spoken about him. The guy doesn't even cuss 😂
-
He’s the only man to refer to himself as quirky and have everyone around him agree instead of cringe.
-
Key and Peele being in white and nerdy is the same experience as Penn and Teller in tricky
-
"Another One Rides the Bus" was his first song I ever heard. It came a record inside my Mad Magazine. The record was a soft flexible page that you cut out and it actually played on a record player!! True Story! I had that record for years.
-
11:20 I remember I went to a weird Al concert once. He prolonged the Albuquerque song by saying so many names of donuts, then he started all over after getting off track. Before the concert my dad expressed his wishes to hear just one wacka-wacka-doo-doo-yeah, and instead we got to hear two.
