The good ole Fat costume is back! (glasses and all) haha. The iconic parody has returned for the tour, and you can only find snippets or clips from fans. If you want to enjoy the entire concert or most of it, you'll have to attend one. "Word is out, better treat me right. Cause I'm the King of Cellulite. Ham on" hahaha:



Parodies not peformed but wished were performed: Perform This Way, Couch Potato:
"Look. If you've got. One shot. To sit on yer lazy butt (I sure am haha). To watch all the TV you ever wanted (not yet since there's nothing good on - had to cancel it). Til yer brain turned to mush (it already did. or I just have a 'relaxed brain' haha). Would you go for it? (oh hell yeah)". hahaha.

Saturday, 06/14/25: It Has Begun

The "Bigger and Weirder" tour kicks off in Vegas. Here's a snippet from a fan:



C'mon, Al - include "Hardware Store" in one of your set lists.

Wednesday, 06/11/25:

"The Volcano Worshipper's Club". Hahaha. I guess I can't call myself a real fan for not knowing this. Or that Prince turned Al down gajillion times. "$19.99" would have made for a great parody haha (one of the rare instances where I'm a fan of the original). Word has it that there is also the "The Polar Ice Caps are going to all melt and flood the earth!" club. Thank god for Jimm-aay for pulling out unusual tidbits from a guest's past. Haha.

We owe a debt of gratitude to "Weird Owl" for making weird the new normal.

Tuesday, 05/20/25:

"Concert Tour Alert" - Al's Bigger & Weirder Tour is going to become "Even Better" than his past concerts. From what I hear, he'll have other guests and musicians on stage with more theatrics. It's about to begin next month. Just don't bother Al about when his next, new single is going to release.

So Al - any idea on when your next, new single is?

Friday, 05/02/25:

Al interviews are more conversational than actual interviews, which is actually fun. I would've thought Al's "proudest moment" was getting the Walk of Fame star, but as he said - "Hollywood is full of evil people". I can't disagree. It's also full of terribad movies.

Or course- his "Mandatory Fun" album being on the Billboard charts at No. 1 for awhile is quite an achievement. Perhaps I should have a listen.

Saturday, 04/19/25:

Apparently, a dude experienced "pure euphoria" while watching Al's "Dare To Be Stupid" video. While this might sound 'stupid', it sure isn't for the guy haha. Thanks for sharing that, Al!

My pure euphoric moment is when I was able to memorize "Alburqurque" on a whim, or nearly reciting that near-impossible "Hardware Store" section in one breath. Hahah.

AL's CULT CLASSIC CORNER

If Anyone Can, The Cabbage-Man Can! muhahaha

Or The Outer Space Cabbage Guy. Or The Extraterrestial Who's Supposed To Be A Cabbage muhaha. In an "Amazing Stories" episode back in '87 (called "Miss Starlet", which happened to be the series finale after cancellation. Thanks, Al! muhaha) Regardless, he's a representative from outer space as a spokesperson or spokes-"cabbage" for an interstellar pageant on Earth. Al has had cameos here and there back in the day, but before "UHF" hit the air, I'm sure a lot didn't know that he starred in a full episode of a fantastical program. Neither did I muhaha. Until I went back and happened to stumble upon this episode while watching other "Amazing Stories" episodes. I laughed my ass off at this one, I guess I know why the series was cancelled now, considering the direction it was going in muhaha

Well, I guess that sums up Al's television career muhaha (AL-TV and The Weird Al Show notwisthstanding).



And Then There Was...Or Only Was: UHF!
"I'm your worst nightmare". In what is arguably the funniest sequence in the film, George Newman fantasizes that he's Rambo and rescues his pal Stanley (AKA The Kramer Guy) from the vile clutches of the network honchos. In becoming 'Rambo', you can't be a Rambo unless you are greased out or roided out with muscles, and that weird mouth contortion that only Rambo knows how when he does his primal scream muhaha. But other than that, UHF has fine programming indeed.

UHF is a cult flick that has a strong following along the lines of 'Office Space' and 'The Ringer'. It was panned quite harshly upon release all those years ago, and I guess that's how some of the lyrics from 'I can't Watch This' came to be muhaha. But sometimes, some of the actually good films are ones that go under the radar and become a cult hit. 'Harold & Kumar' is another example of that. "UHF" is the story of an underachieving TV station created by a menial working guy named George Newman, and it was going down the tubes until a certain janitor guy (AKA The Kramer Guy) made a certain segment hilarious bringing ratings up muhaha. The rest of the movie is filled with parodies and hilarities that only Weird Al knows how, including a parody of Dire Straits and the film's UHF theme song.

Well, that sums up Weird Al's acting career muhaha. Except perhaps a cameo here and there. He's been more successful with TV, including 'The Weird Al Show' and 'AL-TV'. I'm sure fans would've liked the idea of a "UHF 2", perhaps a direct-to-itunes or DVD kind of deal instead.

OTHER/MISCELLANEOUS:
Music videos are a dime a dozen these days. In other words, not many good ones at all muhaha. But Weird Al had a knack of making not only hilarious parodies, but spot-on parodies in video form either equally hilarious or even more. Playlists are fine, but videos are even better muhaha. Some 'fine' examples of his back in the day include 'Eat It', 'Fat' and 'Amish Paradise'.

With that said, that was the '80's/'90's and present day is today. Al doesn't have the time to make those kinds of videos anymore. And probably doesn't even have the energy as he ages and has a family life. They are now created either through computer-animation or just badly photoshoppin' or editin' himself over digital imagery muhaha. They feel rushed and not as funny, but they still work. Case in point, all his recent vids including "Perform This Way". But if ya don't like them,, he can just tell ya where to stick it muhahaha.

Let's go back to nostalgic times, and here's a random "Video Of The Day" for this site:
