Weird Al is an institution. In the music industry they say you know you’ve made it when Weird Al does one of your songs. He’s got a catalog spanning 4 decades. Note the number of views his videos have, he has a huge fan base.
Not just a catalog that spans four decades...he's one of the less than five artists who have had a hit on the charts in four decades (soon to be five, no doubt)...
Weird Al has never done a parody without the original artists' permission. He is completely respectful about the whole process, and does everything to mimic as much of the original videos possible while "quirking" them with his own silly personality. His is the ultimate expression of the phrase "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"😊
He didn't actually get Coolio's permission for parodying Gangsta Paradise, he had permission from the studio from my understanding but not from Coolio. I remember that was the whole issue with Al and Coolio for a while, after that he made it a thing to get permission from the singer for sure and not just the studio.
@@johnaskins638Correct, but Al understood Coolio had given permission. After that, he has made it a point to personally speak with each artist himself directly.
You're the first black person I've known to watch this and Miss Key & Peele at the beginning.🤦🏾♀️ Conversely, you're the only black person to recognize Seth Green. I know him from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But he was also in Austin Powers.🤷🏾♀️ His parodies of Michael Jackson's Beat It and are legendary. Michael went so far as to let him use the sets.👍🏾🙆🏾♀️🎵🇺🇦
I read that when Weird Al asked Michael Jackson's people where they filmed "Bad" so they could film "Fat", they told him that they were reshooting some footage, and were renting the place for 5 days, but only needed one. They paid the rent for Weird Al's video.
I see a lot of people pointing out Seth Green, but they seem to be missing the deeper cut. Sure, he's a famous actor, but another thing he's well known for is his massive action figure collection. He's one of the premier action figure collectors in the US and he's put that collection to use on a little show he created called Robot Chicken.
Some of the best Weird Al songs: Living with a Hernia, Party in the CIA, Ebay, Foil, and Tacky, just to name a few. Hardware is not a parody, it's an original. Weird Al can spit bars!
To really appreciate the effort that he puts into these, watch Weird Al's Amish Paradise, parody of Gangsta's Paradise. Listen to Coolio first, so you will recognize how every effect, movement, phrase and note are echoed in Weird Al's production.
I can understand why you aren't sure how you feel about this one. But Weird Al didn't use his parodies to disrespect an artist or their lyrics. When this song came out Chamillionaire said he liked it.
@@BigFunnyGiant2 I blame on the auto correct on my phone lol I didn't catch it autocorrected his last name just have a cheap prepaid phone so not surprised
The guy in the background from the middle to the end, dancing, is Donny Osmond. People that grew up in there that era know him as an Osmond Brother… The heartthrob of the Osmond brothers when they were teenagers… And they were like the “safe “band for young girls to see in the 70s. Very religious Mormons, they had a big family and all of them were involved in singing entertainment and very very popular. That’s why it’s so funny that he’s doing the background in this ha ha ha. Good sense of humor about himself.
- Your bewilderment was delightful :) - BTW, the more you know/like the song being parodied, and know the references in the parody, the more you will be able to connect w/ it. - And, once you "get" "Weird Al", you won't be able to get enough! - Enjoy :) ...
Weird Al Yankovic is brillliant. He has been doing this since the late 70s, and he puts so much work into his parodies. Also, the "gangsters" were Key and Peele in an early role. You know, in addition to nerd king Seth Green and the ledgendary Donny Osmond.
He is American, born and raised in California. He is something of a pop culture icon with his main claim to fame being musical parodies, 5 of which won him Grammy Awards. This particular song reached #9 on the billboard charts. The guy you were asking about was Seth Green, the other guy dancing behind Weird Al was famed singer Donny Osmond, the guys in the car are comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, the lady that got the surge protector was comedian Judy Tenuta.
It's all about being a nerd. It's always been considered a compliment to have Al do a parody of your music. Madonna actually requested him to do one of her songs. He's considered the king of parody. If you know what a nerd is like It's really hilarious. The guy dancing in the background is a very famous singer who sang in the Osmond Brothers, solo, and as a duet with his sister, whom he had a tv show with twice. Donny Osmond. He was considered too squeaky clean. His family was friends with the Jackson fives. Ma
This is not the best song to start the Weird Al journey. Apart from that, you must always react to the original first to really appreciate the parody! I recommend: „Bad“ (Michael Jackson) and „Fat“ (Weird Al), „Gangsta‘s Paradise“ (Coolio) and „Amish Paradise“ (Weird Al) and ultimately „Smells like teen spirit“ (Nirvana) and „Smells like Nirvana“ (Weird Al)!
Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and Weird Al's "Eat It". Al copied MJ's video almost exactly, even had some of the same people in it. MJ helped Al with it, so that went a long way to making it great.
It's funny when someone watches a parody song without knowing what it's a parody of beforehand. Al puts a lot of well known (and lesser known) people in his videos. The guys in the car are Key and Peele, the guy in the action figure thing is Seth Green, the dancing guy is Donnie Osmond, and the "mom" is Judy Tenuta (comedian).All the things he references are typically "nerd" stuff, some extremely so (like JavaScript & Klingon). He probably got most famous early on with his parodies of Michael Jackson's "Bad" and "Beat it" - Weird Al made "Fat" and "Eat It" - or maybe Joan Jett's "I Love Rock n' Roll" from which Al made "I Love Rocky Road". You really need to watch the original videos to get the full effect of the parodies, though.
Associating someone's surname with assumptions about their English language capacity takes me back to the 1970s. Doing it in this day and age is absolutely baffling.
Al is the parody G.O.A.T. FYI: Even Tom MacDonald follows Al on Instagram I’ve been a fan of Al since 1979, have seen him in concert twice and have every single album of his. He has won a Grammy in every single decade. #hangovergang forever ✌🏽
The guy you asked about is actor Seth Greene. You missed Key and Peeps as the two guys riding in the low rider. Donnie Osmond also makes an appearance.
You gotta check out Fat, Amish Paradise, and All about the Pentiums next. He's hilarious. And the sound is weird... while you are talking there's a fan sound at the same time, but when you are quiet it's VERY quiet. You got a decent headset, but your ambient noise is still being captured. Hope that helps 😊
As for your worrying about whether he will speak English, he was the valedictorian of his high school, graduating at 16. He studied architecture in University, is from Southern California, and sometimes writes his own songs (beyond parodies). The guy is a blinkin' genius. One of his parodies is to Blurred Lines, called Word Crimes, and specializes in correct grammar, very funny. IMO, his best is Hardware Store. I love Weird Al!!
My 2 favorite Weird Al parodies are his Michael Jackson ones: "Eat It" and "Fat", parodies of "Beat It" and "Bad." I recently learned that MJ was a fan of Weird Al, and even gave him permission to use the set from "Bad" to film his "Fat" music video.
Yes he speaks english, lol... His celeb guests are "Seth Green" and "Donny Osmond" His best rap song is still "All about the pentiums". See also "amish paradise" and "Fat" and "eat it"
The reason why Seth Green is in the verse about "Action Figures" is that he's one of the guys behind _Robot Chicken_ - so he knows a thing of two about action figures…
That's Seth Green (Dr. Evil's son) with the action figures, and of course Key and Peele in the convertible, and Donny Osmond (a popular singer in the 1970s) doing the goofy dance moves toward the end.
I swear at about 5:00, he had an awakening and understood people making jokes. Guess I was wrong. Not a "foreign" guy. You can't read his last name, so that's ok to say? Be real...is this just a dumb, extended joke?
wierd al is american born, he is the mast of doing music parodies. he has done a few Michale jackson songs, he did 2 star wars songs pardodying songs. amish paradise for gangstas paradise, Eat it for Beat it I'm fat for I'm bad like a surgeon etc..
The guy with the action figures is seth green or chris from family guy, dr. Evils son in austin powers, he was in idle hands and a bunch of other movies and shows
Weird Al is a American icon.an absolute legend! Im here,watching this reaction,my first time on your channel,BECAUSE its weird al.you absolutely should dive deeper into the rabbit hile.and don't take it serious at all.its supposed to be funny
“A lot of the scenarios threw me off, heavy…” uh yeah, that’s the point of the song, “White and Nerdy” it’s either extremely bland like stereotypical white people, or extremely nerdy. He’s playing the stereotypical kid who was nerdy, weird, super smart but socially inept in school. The one who typically got bullied… so now imagine that same kid wanting to hang out with gangsters xD it’s meant to be absurd and funny, that’s what makes it a parody
Most of his songs are parodies. He does have some original songs. He only parodies top artist & songs. Michael, Coolio, Imagine Dragons, P Diddy...etc. Don't give up on him yet. Keep checking his videos out.
Most Weird Al parodies spoof the official video as well, so the original song's video should be viewed first, otherwise you miss out on half the fun of it
Awww... we made you downright speechless. Poor you. I think we're going to have to take away your white&nerdy membership card. You missed.... everything. Even the Key and Peele cameo at the beginning. This video is chock-full of cameos and nerdy references. Sometime, you should play the Ridin' Dirty video side-by-side with this video. Maybe you'll see exactly how genius this thing is. Some explanations and cameo list for this video: Key and Peele - in the car at the beginning. This video came out in 2006. If I'm not mistaken, this is before they really hit it big. I think they were still just players on MadTV at this point. Seth Green - the guy you were trying to think of. Creator of Robot Chicken. Oz, the werewolf, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Donny Osmond - the dancing guy behind Al. The whitest little mormon that ever lived. Entertainer from the Osmond family. Was on TV for several years with his sister on The Donny and Marie show. MC Escher is an artist from the early to mid 1900's that does mathematically inspired works. You should look up a few. They're pretty cool. Klingon is a language spoken by a race of people that appear in the Star Trek universe. It's been fully created. You can learn it today online. The Star Wars Holiday Special aired once and only once in 1978 and has never been re-released in any form. It's... so awful. It's really really bad. But Star Wars collectors wanted a copy. Back in the pre-internet days, the only way to get a copy was to find someone who happened to tape it on their home VHS when it was broadcast and ask them to dub you a copy. Those copies went for HUDREDS of dollars. You can watch it now pretty much anywhere. Don't, but you can. Trivial Pursuit questions: G: In what city is the largest ball of twine built by one man? E: What's the deal with Lindsey Lohan? I mean, seriously? H: F.D.R. - was he faking it? AL: On what page does Harry Potter die in the next book? SN: What is the melting point of a gorilla's head? SL: How many Wicket Men are there on a 43-Men Squamish Team? Top 8 spaces: Bill Gates, Napoleon Dynamite, Mr. Peabody, Albert Einstein, Screech, Frodo, Pee Wee Herman, and Tom
If you want honest feedback, the background noise when the mic kicks in is mildly distracting. Do what you want with that. Love the reactions, tho. More Al, please! Also, I don't think he would ever come for you. You can play the videos without fading them out.
You wanted a guy who speaks english!? Try "Word Crimes" by Weird Al and ask for that again 🤣
Try "Hardware Store"...and try to keep up...
Ditto
Not English!!
Any language but English!!!

The guy you were trying to think of is Seth Green actor that was in Buffy, without a paddle, and a bunch of other movies and shows.
Also paramount in Robot Chicken, and voices Chris Griffin and others on Family Guy. Friends with Family Guy creator, Seth MacFarlane.
I loved Seth as Joker from the Mass Effect games, too.
My favorite role of Seth Green's was Dr. Evil's son, SCOTT, in the Austin Powers trilogy! Yeah, baby!
Was also in the second Scoby-Doo movie and voiced Leo in 2k12 TMNT. XD
Seth Green is also an X File. He was on the show, season 2.
