[@GiselleMFeuillet]

It certainly tracks for Jack Black...

[@lolflashlight1010]

Fun fact! Weird Al DOES NOT NEED permission to do these songs, but he asked to be polite. Its a shame when he makes a song better then the original that talked about possible rape. The OG song had topics of rape in it, Al made it all funny and took that element out of it. Be mad if you want but your wrong lol

[@DarthKrytie]

Your dawning realization that everyone in the video was, indeed, famous was funnier than the parody itself. I laughed so hard I had tears.

Of course it begs the question of how famous they really are... :) But then, this IS someone who is apparently seeing Weird Al videos for the first time...

Aisha Tyler Margaret Cho Eric Stonestreet Kristen Schaal Jack Black

[@Gulicktheemu]

The music video for "Tacky" debuted on July 14, 2014, as the first in an eight-video series. Produced by Nerdist Industries, the one-shot video mimics Williams' own style used in his video for "Happy": It features comedians, Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal and Jack Black with Weird Al Yankovic dressed in tacky clothes and dancing purposely poorly while lip-sync-hing to the song's lyrics about a person who brags on about his questionable style choices. The video was filmed at Palace Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, previously featured as Julianne Moore's apartment in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski. Yankovic specified that during each of the six continuous takes, he would have to rush down five flights of stairs while changing his outfit in order to appear in the beginning and end of the video.

[@darthzombie18]

@@chriswhinery925 It was the year after this music video but she was the lead actress on a network tv show, Last Man on Earth, that ran for 4 seasons. She was probably more known for her voice work before that starring on animated shows like Bob's Burgers, Bojack and Gravity Falls.

[@padoco73]

According to Al during one of his interviews, the scheduling for this video was based almost entirely around Jack Black's availability. Apparently, the rest just had more flexibility.

[@adamgreyskul678]

You are correct, he had part of 2 days available, but not all of one day. That's also part of the reason it's one continuous shot, it was the fastest way they could do it as opposed to the normal sets, props, and multiple shots.

[@soulcorupter9048]

I've seen him live 3 times. The most recent time he opened with this song. He was outside behind the building and he had a camera broadcasting live as he walked in. Singing this song and in costume. The audience kept looking at the camera video and each entrance trying to figure out which entrance he was at. He is amazing live. Constant outfit changes. Came out dressed appropriately for Amish Paradise

[@finekat296]

He is amazing live! I only saw him once, on his tour for Running with Scissors. But it was such a blast! He did Dare to be Stupid, Fat, The Saga Begins, Germs, and so many more XD

[@ThaneOfEurmal]

I saw him twice, for In 3D and the album with Fat. Dr Demento opened for him on the first show, in ... '85? He even balanced on one foot and put the other foot behind his head, like in I Lost on Jeopardy!

[@soulcorupter9048]

@@finekat296 I saw him for running as well. Then he played at a local Fair believe it or not. Then I saw him again When he was on his recent tour. He hired 2 local girls to be the cheerleaders when he played Smells like Nirvana, and they were in the background of his tacky entrance to the stage. I bought his album collection after the show. And had to go back for a replacement because the one I got was busted.

[@finekat296]

@@ThaneOfEurmal oh that's cool! He did that for Like a Surgeon XD

My beliefs on Jack Black are 1. he absolutely had that outfit in his wardrobe 2. there is nothing he could do that would cause me to think “that doesn’t make sense.”

"Produced by Nerdist Industries, the one-shot video shows Yankovic mimicking Williams' own style used in his video for "Happy": It features comedians including Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal, Jack Black " Black is obviously the most famous but they've all had careers and I guess it's pretty easy for Yankovic to convince you to star in one of his videos.

[@jlokison]

From what I've heard, these days, Al just needs to get around a celebrity management team and just ask, the response is usually an immediate "YES!"

[@sunsungoaway]

He got the keyboardist for The Doors, Ray Manzarek, to play on his song "Craigslist", so yeah :)

[@minskacatral7904]

Weird Al is an institution who’s career has spanned over four decades and he is an incredibly nice guy, most celebrities are honored and excited to get to work with him.

[@joannat5523]

I've seen Al perform this in concert. He starts outside the venue on the street and sings as he walks through the theater and comes in the theater and sings down the aisle through the crowd to the stage. Everybody goes nuts!!! It's the best entrance I've ever seen anyone make at a concert. He's followed by a camera man who films him until he enters the theater and we watched him on a big screen while his band plays on stage. Al is a creative genius!!! Al patched together a bunch of these entrances and made two videos of all the different states and cities where he did this. It's amazing to see.

[@vampg8r]

In the mid-1800s when photography was a new thing, they used to take pictures of the deceased in different poses so they would have a remembrance of the person. Granted the selfie craze happening now probably isn't being done with the same respect that the original death pictures were.

[@Buzzywhumpa]

Exposure times were extremely long back then. A dead person's nature of being stationary makes them a perfect subject matter because any movement would blur on the exposure. Dead people made lively images. It was the living that appeared as though they were ghosts.

[@sunsungoaway]

My grandmother had several of these types of photos. Many times it was the only image people had of their loved one

[@barbaragatto2549]

Usually they were photos of children. Heart wrenching

My favorite thing about this video is that it's all done in one shot. I often wonder how many takes it took to get the elevator sequence timed properly, since that was probably the hardest part.

[@Eidlones]

Why would that be the hardest part? They're doing pretty generic, low energy dancing, and nothing that's in time with the elevator passing by. Just tell them over the radio that they elevator started, then they do it until it passes.

I've been a Weird Al fan since before I can remember. Literally one of my earliest childhood memories was hearing Yoda on the radio. I just stumbled on this channel and am going through the WAY playlist. I just want to take a moment to appreciate Weird Al's band as unsung heroes. Even just within this playlist of reactions which are only skimming the surface of Al's extensive career, they go from replicating the sounds and styles of Michael Jackson to Nirvana to Pharrell to Lorde and everything in-between.

[@DocNaker]

Saw Weird Al in concert, and he opened with this song. They showed him dancing to the stage on the big screen while acting it out. He was amazing, the show was so well done, the set and dress changes were well thought out and planned. I was able to get a picture with R2-D2 at the end of the show as well. FYI, I was wearing socks with sandals at the show in support

[@benjaminrealy5661]

You are awesome. Of every react video of this song, you are the first who noticed the one shot. It's one of my favorite nuances of this video and I've seen dozens of react videos for this and you're the only one I've noticed who noticed the one shot

[@liamnehren1054]

Interesting to note; that this was one of his first songs after getting out of a strait jacket like contract, which left him hanging so long people forgot about him and these people are some of the most famous comedians, basically welcoming him back by being part of it.

[@weekendwarrior3174]

During the tour he did when this album came out this was the opening song. He wouldn't start onstage, instead you'd see him somewhere near the theater on a video screen and he'd go through the streets and into the theater from a back door making his way to the stage while his band played, all one short just like the video.

[@keilius]

I'm glad you did this one; it's one of my favorites. The one time I got to see him perform live, he opened with this one and they did the long shot starting from his dressing room (which we could watch on a screen on stage) all the way out through the audience and onto the stage. It was amazing!

[@thatcarguy1UZ]

OMG I have been waiting for you to cover this one! I am commenting up front before watching it because I don’t have time right now but I’m adding it to my playlist for tomorrow. This is one of the best songs he’s done!

[@andrewe2057]

Hahahaha... it was hilarious watching you realize that everyone else was a celebrity once you saw Jack Black. Yes, that was Aisha Tyler (new host of Whose Line, voice of Lana on Archer), Margaret Cho (stand-up comedian, does many guest spots on sitcoms), Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), and Kristen Schaal (voice of Louise Belcher on Bob's Burgers, many TV and movie appearances). The steadycam was operated by Colin Hudson, who most recently worked as a steadycam operator on Marvel's Shang Chi.

[@alienbob21]

So for his Mandatory Fun Tour. He literally did a version of this video around the town and area leading up to and into the venue. For instance in Greenville, SC he walked around and then into The Peace Center with a camera man following him and passersby having no idea what was happening.

[@dugswank]

I love that the elevator is going down during the "Can't nothing bring me down!' bridge.

[@sigrid7042]

oh cool you already listened to this... love your reactions

[@victoria7t]

When this song was still fairly new on his tours if you went to see him in concert this would be the opening song and he would actually open with it by there be a video screen on stage and suddenly you'd see him singing in his song and walking along and what it was was he would be somewhere some distance outside away from the venue walking towards the venue and the camera would follow him and he would sing the song until he got to the venue and you would see him walk through the backstage area and then eventually at the same time as you were still seeing him on the camera on the screen you would start to see him walking down through the audience towards the stage. He would wind up completing the song on stage.

[@johngardner4096]

This convinced me. Subscribed!

[@chrisfrazier4749]

That's great you picked up the continuous shot....yes it is and every time he does it live he does it the same way...starting in the dressing room all thru the crowd to start the show...His costume changes on set are in a league of their own

[@Midrealm_DM]

Featuring comedians 1:28 - Aisha Tyler 1:58 - Margaret Cho 2:53 - Eric Stonestreet 3:27 - Kristen Schaal 4:05 - Jack Black

[@whatvideoswhere]

this whole video was done in one shot continuously - no editing, no takes, only a few practice times, they are all comedians

[@decrepitspice8458]

I feel like MrLboyd has a special glow when he watches Weird Al, so I am gonna ask, "Are You Pregnant"

[@scottallencarr]

I'm here because you reviewed one of the most important songs we could share today. I still can't wait though for Couch Potato!

[@princessakhana]

I love how the whole video is one long shot, no cuts.

[@davidblauyoutube]

Not only was this a one-shot, but between the first verse and the last one Weird Al had a costume change and got down several flights of stairs

[@thevilifyingforce]

@4:11 when he realizes he didn't recognize anyone. Lmao

[@grimmschmidt38]

...One of my fave things about this is that there's a quiet nod to the original music video that has several shots -- so they did this all in one shot. Which means that Al was SCRAMBLING to get to the bottom of the building as they were filming the rest of this STAR STUDDED CAST of comedians. XD. Such a legend.

[@ChakaalStarr]

I watched a few different of your weird al reaction videos. As you noted in one of these, there is a lot of little details, so one could watch them multiple times and not catch everything. Among those details, there is a lot of celebrities that you can miss if you aren't paying attention or aren't familiar with them. You noticed key and peele in white and nerdy, but Donny Osmond(dancing behind him) and Seth Green(by the action figures) were also in that video for example. So it was cool seeing you react to seeing jack black and realize there were probably other celebrities. This video has Aisha Tyler. Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, Kristen Schaal & Jack Black

[@vipersaim]

Aisha Tyler, Margaret Cho, Eric Stonestreet, and Kristen Schaal... "Oh hey, is that Jack Black?" LOL Classic.

[@t0dd000]

Weird Al is so beloved that he can literally call on anyone to come and do a video with him.

[@AndICanTalk2]

All famous. No worries. Awesome reaction.

[@harrythefish4593]

Just love the one shot for this video.

[@poeticdisaster7500]

Man u got the best voice and vocabulary! You should totally be on fm radio

[@jenniferweitzel9898]

This was done in one continuous shot, which is amazing.

[@r.f.switch5847]

Fun fact: This is the place they filmed at the Palace Theater in Downtown LA, which was also one of the settings for the movie The Big Lebowski.

[@kateboarman8674]

All of the polka medleys are wonderful, he did a new one that I just found today based on Hamilton! And I also love his original tune Albuquerque.

[@cozenw3236]

Besides “White and Nerdy,” I love his “Confessions pt.3,” a cover song by Usher. There’s no video for it but there are a few audio videos of it on KZbin.

[@russwilliams4777]

It was a single continuous shot... which makes it even more impressive that Weird Al is at both the start and end, wearing different outfits. Yes, he ran down the stairs and changed clothes to get ahead of the camera.

[@alexrosales8137]

You said, "Just eat it." Eat It is another phenomenal parody by Mr. Yankovic.

[@ebonstone2980]

"Eat it" is the song that made him famous. "It's the 'Eat it' guy!"

[@HITMANPegas]

The ​people in the video were Aisha Tyler best known for her voice as Lana Kane in Archer, Margaret Cho is a stand-up comedian who had her own T.V. show All-American Girl, Eric Stonestreet is best known for portraying Cameron Tucker in Modern Family, Kristen Schaal best known for her voice as Louise Belcher in Bob's Burgers, and lastly was Jack Black which you know.

[@allenparedes3964]

I loved how basically all the celebrities in the video are some of Hollywood's most lovable nerds, dorks and weirdos.

[@WickidOne]

the people in the video are Aisha Tyler known for playing Andrea Marino in the first season of Ghost Whisperer, Dr. Tara Lewis in Criminal Minds, Mother Nature in The Santa Clause films, and voicing Lana Kane in Archer Margaret Cho is a stand-up comedian Eric Stonestreet actor and comedian. He is best known for portraying Cameron Tucker in the sitcom Modern Family Kristen Schaal actress, voice artist, writer, and comedian. She is best known for her roles as Mel on the HBO series Flight of the Conchords, Louise Belcher on Bob's Burgers, and Mabel Pines on Gravity Falls. Jack Black-- we all pretty much know who Jack Black is

[@wizardglick9609]

The irony of talking about Weird Al singing about taking pictures of food, and saying, "just eat it"!

[@AtomicZn]

I do on occasion take a picture of my food. I only send it to one person though: the person who taught me how to cook. We're both foodies and enjoy talking with each other about new restaurants we're trying or recipes we've made. I don't just put it out there on the internet for everyone though. I know no one else cares except us two.

[@TnT_F0X]

I bet you'd recognise the 'bring me Shame' girl's voice. She seems to be in everything... but I first saw her in last man on Earth, funny miniseries.

[@bard6184]

The celebrities in this video are, from first to last: - Aisha Tyler. She's acted in shows like CSI, Criminal Minds, and Archer. She also had a guest role in Friends. - Margaret Cho. Probably best known for her stand-up routines, many of which can be found on HBO. - Eric Stonestreet. Starring main role in Modern Family during its entire run. - Kristen Schaal. One of my favourites, absolutely hilarious in Flight of the Conchords. - Jack Black. Well, you obviously know him and his career.

[@Malisteen]

I didn't know Kristen Schaal was in the Tacky video! Jack Black I did remember. This video was so great.

[@davegreenlaw5654]

Amazed that he was able to get down to the ground floor, across the theater and out to the stage door entrance, all while changing his outfit - *including* his shoes - in just *TWO* minutes. And he had to do this several times.
