"Weird Al" Yankovic Goes Beyond Insanity While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

Al's parodies have always been unique in that they were never vulgar or overtly offensive. It was good, clean comedy that still managed to be hilarious. Al is a legend.

Weird Al helped me get through my childhood. I was raised in an apocalypse cult, and they were super strict about music, movies, any media really. Because Weird Al was funny and didn't swear, i was allowed to listen to his music. He helped me stay aware of both cultural attitudes and trends through the content of his music, and brought modern music into my home so that i knew what the music others were listening to sounded like. It made me laugh and made me feel less alone. Thank you, Weird Al.

[@lordhendrickson8585]

Were you actually in an apocalypse cult?

[@cathycat4989]

@@lordhendrickson8585 If you ask my parents, we were just a church that was really into Doomsday prepping, purity culture, antigovernment and guns, homeschooling, patriarchal households, not using birth control, and antivaccine conspiracies. If you ask me, I’d point out that even though we had finally broken away by then, the first time I got my period, my dad started asking men twice my age if they’d marry me. He even told me “old enough to bleed, old enough to breed.” He was so programmed, that even being out of that environment, he couldn’t switch it off. We didn’t have uniforms or live on a compound (although that was the eventual plan), but the indoctrination and control was heavy. I knew girls who were born at home without birth certificates or SS cards, so they would be dependent on their fathers and eventually, their husbands. The thing is, people assume cults wind up on the news. Most people are pretty dumb. You know the statistic about how half of people are lower than the average intelligence? That’s true for general competency as well, if we could measure it statistically. I got lucky that the church was full of incompetent chucklefucks. The best cult to be raised in is one that doesn’t make the news. On the other hand, it’s probably also the worst, if they’re so competent that they are never found out. They were bad at organizing and after the big world ending technology failure and subsequent nuking (don’t know why bombs would go of, but I was a kid) of Y2K didn’t happen, some remained. Some left. Some didn’t know what to do with themselves. We stuck around a few years until my dad decided to pick another hyper-conservative church. Less cult-ish in that we looked more like mainstream people, some women even wore pants. Also, they weren’t big on the child marriage. My dad had to pretend it was a joke, that he was just joshing them about giving me away to grown men. I don’t speak to him anymore. But seriously, I was a child when the world didn’t end, and a tween when we finally left that environment, and it wasn’t until I was 20 and in a community college, having finally escaped, that I even started learning about the internet. However, Weird Al was strangely a constant in my life. His music was a rare treat of modern culture dubbed acceptable, and it fueled me through it all. Thank you for asking.

I was a fan of Al too, once. That ended when I met him in real life and he picked me up and used me as a flesh accordion while laughing maniacally. I will never forget the horrifying sounds that escaped me on that day.

[@BfDelano]

I met him back in 1999 at the local mall. He was browsing the music at FYE, and I went up to him to say hi. He turned, extended a hand for a handshake, and said hello as well. Probably chatted with him for about 15 minutes, and the manager at FYE brought out a 12x12 (record size) promotional poster of Al’s latest album to have signed for me. I proudly display it to this day.

those small bites are called "tv bites" in the industry. It's so you can talk properly without a bunch of food falling out of your mouth. Also it seems Al was afraid of the hot sauce a bit.

It didn't seem like they put any sauce on his wings. He had no reactions

[@vaprex]

@@coryemm4872 He had no reaction because he only took a nibble. The vast majority of other guests eat pretty much the whole wing -- it's the whole point of the show!!! Sorry, but Weird Al 'wimped out' here... Makes me sad really... It would have been great episode if he'd done it as the show is intended.

[@deletedwaffles]

@@vaprex I would say the point of the show is the sauce more than the wing and Al did taste the sauce. You could replace the wing with a chip and it wouldn't make a difference because it's about reacting to the sauce which he did react to.

Actually Weird Al has always just genuinely been a nice guy, and considering the amount of shit he's been dealt in his life he definitely earned the right to be an arrogant ass. (I refer you to the documentary.) But he's never been a diva like Kanye, or some of these other "Music stars." and I think they could all take a page from his book.

He is literally the most wholesome celebrity in the world. Very kind.
