Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Reaction | Crazy Pants! | Review & Breakdown 

Roku seemed like a confusing choice, but anybody can watch it for free, even if they don't have TV service. I like the fact that by the time he reached adulthood, Daniel Radcliffe already had more money and fame than anyone could ever hope for, so ever since then he's been taking roles in bizarre and off-beat projects, just because he can. The door-to-door saleseman thing is true, sort of. As Al tells it, the salesman offered either accordion lessons or guitar lessons. Imagine learning to play the guitar early - he'd the be the sexiest guy ever, maybe even Eddie Van Halen. His parents (who were generally supportive in real life) chose the accordion for him. While somebody else played Tiny Tim, Salvador Dali was played by the original Tiny Tim. "They're tasing him... like that's the most ridiculous thing in this movie." Technically it is, tasers didn't exist back then. "Is that Diedrich Bader?" Damn, you're on point. I had no idea until after when I IMDB'd this shit. The entire point of this movie is that it's a parody of movie biopics. Almost none of that happened. His person life was pretty normal. But it's the kind of thing that an Oscar-winning biopic would say happened.

The drunk concert scene was a parody of the doors

Weird Al's backing band hasn't changed. It's still the same dudes he started with.

Non-parody songs: He’s has many originals. He also has some pastiche (copies the style, not an individual work). The single Dare To Be Stupid is a pastiche of Devo.

This feels like a documentary that the UHF channel would have aired.

i love how he parody’s jim morrison/the doors movie in the like a surgeon scene, i actually like that movie

17:44 only his best songs! Look deeper in his catalog. Albuquerque is like his Stairway to Heaven. His Ill-Advised Vanity Tour was almost nothing but originals and it was the best of the 4 shows of his I've been to.

I just want to one of his concerts a couple months ago and all he did was his original songs.

Fun! Al has indeed done originals, not to mention the many style parodies where it's a new song in the style of a specific band.

That's Al singing.

His dad makes Red Foreman look like a sweetheart.

The perfect Weird Al biopic is a parody on biopics! Lol

100% factual, as Al notes in the intro on the Roku Channel. In the short that preceded the full-length film, Patton Oswalt played Dr. Demento, but when it came time to film he had broken his foot. They thought about having Dr. D wobbling around on crutches for the whole film, but in the end decided to switch to Rainn Wilson at the last minute. My favorite jokes are when Dr. Demento tells Daniel Radcliffe that he wants to be his DEMENTOR and when the record exec, played by Al, and his brother, played by Will Forte, are talking to Al, played by Radcliffe, and Forte is telling him that he's ugly and untalented and so on, all while the record exec (the actual Al Yankovic) is squirming and looking very distressed. Anyway, I'm waiting on Andor to finish the season, then I'll binge all of them along with your reactions.

I laughed all the way through this movie! Thanks for sharing!

Weird Al Yankovic Is Brilliant

I think My Bologna was one of his first songs, there's a clip where he performs it in 1979. No, it's Weird Al himself doing the singing. Pretty sure that's the original Eat It-video. "Huhuhuhuhuh, hey baby, wanna see my accordion? Huhuhuhuh" (It's a joke =P)

So you haven't seen Weird Al's 1989 movie UHF?

no. they just played the actual video

Loved it! It knew what it was and what it wanted to do and they did it.

Hello I have subscribed to your RU-vid channel

You should watch NATIONAL LAMPOON’S LOADED WEAPON 1

If you don't know anything about the Doors or have never seen the Doors movie then you wont get the drunken concert scene.

26:10 shh don’t give the conspiracy theorist any ideas

Did you see the two stars from MST3K? Max and jonah

A lovely film.

Well he is Weird Al, so what did you expect? ;)

The "Weird" movie I've ever seen

there are a few of his songs that aren't parodies. they take inspiration from other artists but they are originals.

You’re going to be drowning in so much what?? 5:14
