"Weird Al" Yankovic: Difference between revisions

Line 151:

* [[Conspicuous CG]]: The video for "Perform This Way" features Weird Al's [[Digital Head Swap|head digitally superimposed]] on a woman's body. The effect works for the most part, but it looks just ''[[Uncanny Valley Makeup|slightly]]'' off...

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]

* [[~~Cross Dresser~~]]: Just listen to "Truck Driving Song".

* [[Crossdresser]]: Just listen to "Truck Driving Song".

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: The last part of "Another Tattoo", at the very end, is the closest he ''ever'' comes to swearing in a song (and those times he included "slut", "hell", and, if you count it, "crap" in his lyrics don't count, nor does "You cheap bastard!"). The line in question? "Ow! [[Mother F-Bomb|Motherf...]]"

* [[Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon]]: To himself in "One More Minute".

Line 244:

* [[Hollywood Silencer]]: A sound effect in "Party In The CIA"<ref>A lyrical parody of "Party In The USA" by [[Miley Cyrus]]</ref>. [[Lampshaded]] by the lyric "And my silencer was on".

* [[Home Porn Movie]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S9N1oCX_nI Here]. {{spoiler|Compare the "White and Nerdy" video}}

* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: "Perform This Way"<ref>A lyrical parody of "Born This Way" by [[Lady Gaga]]</ref> has the line "I'm [[Frankenstein]], I'm [[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]". [[Not an Example]] of [[~~Cowboy~~ ~~Bebop~~ ~~at His Computer~~]] though, as it was [[Invoked Trope|deliberately invoked.]]

* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: "Perform This Way"<ref>A lyrical parody of "Born This Way" by [[Lady Gaga]]</ref> has the line "I'm [[Frankenstein]], I'm [[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]". [[Not an Example]] of [[Media Research Failure]] though, as it was [[Invoked Trope|deliberately invoked.]]

* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: Parodied in "Perform This Way"

Line 260:

''I'll bet you've never seen a skirt steak worn this way'' }}

* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: Frequently among his lyrics.

* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: His roles on ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' and ''[[Lilo ~~and~~ Stitch: The Series]]''. Also appeared as himself on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''. ''Of course''.

* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: His roles on ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' and ''[[Lilo & Stitch: The Series]]''. Also appeared as himself on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''. ''Of course''.

* [[In the Style Of]]: At least half of Al's non-parodies mimic the style of another significant musician, perhaps the most famous being "Dare To Be Stupid", his take on [[Devo]]. In addition, every album but the first and fifth contains a medley of recent hit songs performed as a polka.

** "Dog Eat Dog" parodies the Talking Heads, and includes modified versions of lines from "Once in a Lifetime". Al even puts on a David Byrne-style giant suit when performing this song live.
