Weird Al Gets Whiplashed

Not like there is really any blood on the drums, even IN the real "Whiplash" days. They used to teach like that years ago. Even then, you didn't bleed. Not as a drummer. Come on.

nik lemoine Right on. Everyone there was so awesome and willing. People bought me snacks. My friend couldn't come, so he video called me while I was there. He got to see the whole thing for free.

I had a great seat, too. Row U, seat 13. I was on the outside of the rows, so he high-fived me. I actually almost cried. Should I mention that I'm a 17 year old? He was one of my childhood heroes, man.

[@seagullsoars]

I saw him as well. He performs live really well.

Whiplash should have won the academy award over Birdman.... Weird Al always wins my heart. Al wasn't even in Whiplash... It still should have won.

[@mikedalvano3389]

I concur. Saw them both. I vaguely remember what Birdman was about. I was enthralled and moved by Whiplash. Probably because I have some Nieman in me. I wouldn't have taken the abuse part of things, but often in my life (sports mostly) I performed best to "shutup" or prove wrong my coach. It's just what fueled me. Whiplash also has a very good debate centered around it. In the end, if you had to pick a winner, did Nieman or Fletcher actually win? Sure, Nieman showed who is boss. But was it simply because of what Fletcher did? All though clearly not effective for all, it could be argued that Fletcher did what is necessary to create one of the greatest drummers of all time. Before someone says "his solo wasn't that great" (I always get that) it is a movie where they can't actually make the greatest solo ever. It's supposed to represent that.

You like Whiplash more because you can relate to it better, not because it had superior cinematography, writing, acting, etc. Though the academy awards are rigged, Birdman was definitely superior in those aspects.

[@shaneg9081]

Birdman had superior cinematography, I freely admit that. Writing not so much. Acting, no. Whiplash definitely had better acting than Birdman. Norton was great in Birdman, Simmons was greater in Whiplash. Miles Teller was also better than Keaton.

[@silentjd6836]

It's all subjective. The Oscars that year were tough to call, but i think Birdman deserved to win. Its a masterpiece.

[@everythingisawesome2903]

Birdman is probably the worst movie to ever won an Oscar. Yes, I agree Whiplash should have won that. Infact, anything was better than Birdman in the best movie category that year

[@benfish7813]

One of CollegeHumor's top 5 greatest videos, for sure.

[@TheBlueCerulean]

Wow such a shame almost no one has heard of Whiplash. I strongly recommend everyone watch it, one of my favorite movies of all time. You're pretty much on the edge of your seat all the way through, and the ending..... best ending to a movie I've seen in a while. The trailers don't do it much justice, but I guarantee you'll love it. JK Simmons and Miles Teller are absolutely superb.

[@MyLittlePwnyta]

This is beautiful. If one man knows how to play the accordian, it's Weird Al.

[@THEEND4444]

This man never ages...

[@horowizard]

Oh, this is just too much! Especially the facial expressions at 1:38. Leave it to Weird Al to actually get hit with the chair!
