Line 1:
{{
Most of Weird Al's songs have at least one Funny Moment.
Line 9:
** 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:
{{quote|'"And I forgot the next verse,
''oh well I guess it pays to rehearse...
''The lyric sheet's so hard to find,
''What are the words? Oh, nevermind" }}
** You can tell this helped Kurt crack up quite a bit from this.
{{quote|''Well I'm yellin', and we're playing,
''But I don't know what I'm saying!
''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.
** I'm pretty sure all of "Dare to be Stupid" counts.
Line 36:
* "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.
{{quote|''I knew that we were having problems when
''You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
''You're still the light of my life
''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.
{{quote|''Tell me,
''Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?
''[[Understatement|It really is a major inconvenience]]
''Oh man, I really hate it
''It's such a drag now
''I can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore, I can't belch or yodel anymore,
''Can't spit or blow my nose or even read ''Sports Illustrated'' }}
His [[Manipulative Editing|fake interviews]] also have many moments.
