"Weird Al" Yankovic/Funny: Difference between revisions

** To put it in perspective - [[Kurt Cobain]] himself cracked up at the video. When the author of a song laughs at its parody, that's a non-subjective [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Funny Moments]] right there.

** Speaking of "Smells Like Nirvana", here's a lyric from the live version:

...Oh well, whatever, never mind" }}

** This troper remembered when he burned the song into his brain from about 19-20 years ago, and for those who don't know the original lyrics at that point in the song:

What are the words? Oh, nevermind" }}

** You can tell this helped Kurt crack up quite a bit from this.

A banana, dadadada, nananana, badabada... *cue gibberish* }}

* Also, "Dare To Be Stupid" has his announcement that "Mashed potatoes can be your friends"...while emerging from a large pot with a finger raised and an "[[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]" expression. It takes a great comedian to maintain a completely deadpan expression with mashed potatoes in his hair.

** As well as an outfit made ''entirely of raw meat''.

* From ''Trapped In The Drive-Thru'':

''Did I mention the drive-thru?"'' }}

* The video for ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Polka]] [[Lady Gaga|Face]]''. It's the first actual music video for a polka medley, and ''boy'' if it shows. Highlights include: the "baby" snippet, where a baby [[Justin Bieber]] is looking forward to get some breast milk (as a nod to his [[Likes Older Women]] status) [[Take That|only to be given a pacifier instead]], the "I kissed a girl" part where [[Katy Perry]] "hopes her boyfriend doesn't mind", [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|with his response being a couple of thumbs-ups]], [[Lady Gaga]] being generally even crazier than usual, and Weird Al's own appearance as his own [[Super-Deformed]] avatar. About that last one, we'd say [[Uncanny Valley]] if only he wasn't that funny. And awesome.

* "Weasel Stomping Day" from ''Straight Outta Lynwood" starts off as an amusing parody of all those upbeat, cheesy songs from holiday specials. Then the actual weasel stomping begins. It's so very wrong, but [[Refuge in Audacity|yet so very hilarious]].<ref>And worry not...no actual weasels were harmed in the making of the song. The sound effects were provided by smashing fresh fruits and veggies.</ref>

* [[Anti-Love Song|"You Don't Love Me Anymore"]] is borderline disturbing... and totally hilarious.

Oh darling, I´m beggin', won´t you put down that knife? }}

* Pretty much the entity of "A Complicated Song", but special mention goes to the final two choruses.

[[Understatement|It really is a major inconvenience]]<br />

Oh man, I really hate it<br />

* The whole of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lepM8VCGN7c&feature=relmfu Avril Lavigne] one, helped by Avril being clearly batshit insane.

** True story: This troper recently watched that. ...the following lines made him stop the video and ''laugh for a whole minute'':

'''Weird Al:''' No, Avril, no! Cameras are your friends! }}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QOya9-lwQk&feature=relmfu The Eminem interview]. The "you know what I'm saying" bit, Eminem talking about [[Ho Yay|coming]] [[Manipulative Editing|out]], his triple negatives and the [[Precision F-Strike|f^))&^king]] trees!
