    I've always considered him somewhat pathetic.

    Dude, most rappers wish they could bust it like "White and Nerdy". That's the magnum opus of Weird Al.

    Being a dork doesn't mean he's not great.

    How may solo artists have churned out the hits like him? He's going on 30 years and still relevant.

    and his obnoxious whiny voice drives me up the wall

    but UHF is classic.

    Weird Al is the shit, fuck the hatterz. Dude does top-notch parodies--and that shit isn't as easy as he makes it look.

    This video will never not be funny:

    i got into raps cuz of weird al. i mean, back when rap music was still fun.

    Yeah, i pretty much idolized the dude as well. Back before the internet or anything he was kinda mythical status to little kids like me. I remember staying up real late to watch the fat video come on.


    Even worse was one of the first tapes i ever owned and to be honest i didnt really know alot of the original songs he was making fun of. I just thought he was a really amazing songwriter.

    Oh....and coolio should SO apologize.


    .....For alot of things.

    all i've ever wanted in life was for there to be a soulstrut thread about wierd al to have more than 1 response and for him to get his propers. i can now retire as a content human being.

    Fuck all that Al is relevant to Hip Hop talk, but when i was in college I had a friend who was crazy into weird AL before Im Fat.
    He would play his albums while the other caucasoids jerked off to Rattle & Hum.
    The covers that Al was rockin was crazy hilarious and I realized dude was on some next shit. Props, but not for his Rapp stuff.

    The guy can pretty much mock any form of music in a way that flatters the genre with his attention to detail, in itself. For that and the fact that he's cashed in on that talent so consistently, it's hard to really knock his satire even when I don't understand it, or it's not my style, cause he seems like he respects all kinds of music and just has a ton of appreciation for the shit around him.

    'Dare To Be Stupid' in the Transformers cartoon was as clutch as 'You Got The Touch'

    I do remember seeing videos with this huge live show and thinking it was the corniest thing I ever saw when I was 9 specifically feeling bad for the musicians in his group-though on the way I lost my sympathy for starving art and would now dare to be stupid on a guitar solo any day for the wierd al money.

    Even though I can appreciate him Id pass through 90% of that shit like

    except NATURE TRAIL TO HELL












































    IN 3-DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Wierd Al vs K-Fed

    i didnt really know alot of the original songs he was making fun of.

    I didn't know who the hell Ron Popeil was as a kid, but of course I now understand what the fuck he was talking about, MISTER POPEIL!

    Ive never heard the song since then though, dont really care if I do- its still just funny as hell.

    I think these kind of edited interviews get old pretty fast, but he did get a couple good zings in:


    So, how does it feel to have a closet full of wife-beaters, but no wife?


    I understand you're trying to get custody of your kids. I mean, the kids you had with Britney, not the practice ones.

    i love Weird Al...my friend and I lip synched to "Like a Surgeon" for our kindergarten talent show (1985)...I've probably seen UHF more than any other movie in my life...so classic.
