Honestly it says something about the media literacy of a bunch of people that I've seen a ton of folks not understanding it's a parody and not a true story after that last trailer. I mean they absolutely could not have made it any more blazingly obvious.
-ZacWilliam, Al himself was joking how "Weird Al and Madonna" was now like the third autofill for his name.
In all likelihood Al has had a pretty mundane life aside from the part about being one of the funniest songwriters of all time, which we already knew. If a famous entertainer has a life that's anywhere near as eventful as their career in entertainment, at least 9 times out of 10 it's not for good reasons. I'm... not even sure I can think of an example of the tenth case.
As I watched the trailer I was beginning to think it was a little mean-spirited or something, but then I did notice that Weird Al was playing a character in the movie himself and the gag became clear.
This thread came back up and I was perusing through and saw a post I wanted to like and there was no like button and I was so confused and then I saw. I guess it is because I wrote the post...
I watched that this weekend! It was a good episode, and it's such a shame that Prince never agreed to let Al parody his music. It would have helped Prince get some exposure.
Like in my area the only song of his that ever got played was 1999. Literally that was all I knew him for until the early 2000s when music sharing became a thing.
I feel like visuals more than make up for it. The cowboy segment makes me laugh just looking at it! Also nice to see the guy who fan-animated Albuquerque got to animate officially now.
Yea, musically it's not his best polka medley but the accompanying video is pretty good, though it possibly has one too many throwbacks to previous Weird Al videos.
