This is one of those times where using a font with serifs would have ruined the joke since l(L) and I(i) look different
I saw the biopic, Jackson shamelessly ripped him off.
It’s a disgrace Madonna wasn’t even put on trial back then!
But all his stuff is Al generated and it always has been.
He posted this joke himself lol
How did he parody me before I wrote that?
Weird Al is a time traveler confirmed
Sure, but he was trained on a bunch of other musicians.
And all Al says is convoluted, kinda off and weird.
Oh my god this is hilarious
Al isn’t original
Clearly OOP forgot about the best song of all time
To get real for a second, he recently did a tour where he did none of his parody songs. He still had enough for a full show.
Oh yeah. Al has a lot of original songs, but they’re usually “in the style of” someone. One that stands out for me, is “dare to be stupid” in the style of Devo. Very clearly in that style. But it’s not a parody.
In so many cases, I would say that Al is as talented, or more talented than the people he parodies. Taking someone else’s song and inventing new lyrics to it that not only make sense, but they’re interesting, catchy and fit the song perfectly, can be a real challenge. He reproduces all the music with his own band, and of course also has original content too.
Looking at all of that and thinking “he’s unoriginal” is insanity. He’s weird, sure, just as his name implies, and that’s what’s great about him.
Mark Mothersbaugh called Dare to be Stupid more Devo than Devo.
Al is the musical genius of our time, on par with Bach.

I tried to learn the product list as a kid but it’s so hard with how quick he goes. Still a favorite song
Frank, they’re not here for you.
*too
I actually saw this post, the amount of people who were getting mad at ai support even after BEING TOLD THE PUNCHLINE was insane
Can’t tell if that’s Al or really a photo of Daniel Radcliffe…
Considering Al died in the mid-'80s, I doubt it’s him.
Madonna is still in mourning.
Yeah, hasn’t that person seen the incredibly accurate journalistic masterpiece documentary “Weird: The Al Yankovich Story”?
I don’t think he’s seen the 100% true film, using only authentic footage from his life, “Weird: The Al Yankovich Story” 😮
“Al” looks just like “AI”.
In fact, “Artificial Intelligence Yankovich” or “A.I. Yankovich” should be the name of his next album.Wait who is hating on Weird Al?! I still won’t forgive Prince’s dead ass for being mean to him.
Legit thought this was a bad joke about people mixing up AI (Artificial Intelligence) with Al Yankovic!
We’re making that happen in the comments.
it is
It’s messed up, right? Loads of people are hating and fear mongering Al for absolutely no reason, he’s done nothing wrong.
And to all those saying Al is going to take over the world and cost us all our jobs, Al would never do that to us!
Well, the documentary said he was going to come back with a zombie army after Madonna had him assassinated.
Al is harmless & fun & makes the world better but AI is a threat to human wellness & sanity & employment.
I’m sorry Mr. Weird Al Yankovich. I will try to be better.
Sorry Mister Al
Weird Al Yankovic is America’s modern pop rock genius.
