Weird Al Narrates Thanksgiving 🦃

[@retluoc]

I think Al would be proud! He's done so many parodies of other singers, he'd love this homage to him. Penn even emulated Al perfectly.

[@donaldstanfield8862]

I bet AL loves you guys! Who couldn't love y'all? Seriously...

[@delanolopez3950]

It's not a homage. Jonah Ray's EP is an homage, Covered in Punk is an Homage, This is just a hack intellectual property theft.

[@markpatoka]

Isn't that the ultimate compliment? A parody of the king of parodies! You've done him proud.

[@brendaokuda2158]

I WILL definitely be singing "GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE"!!! this Thanksgiving! Penn as Al is positively the BEST!!!

[@figgerella07]

I love Weird Al. I met him in person and he was so nice and calm after performing like a three or four hour show. He was outside his tour bus taking pictures and signing autographs. One of the coolest moments ever!!

[@theholdernessfamily]

That's awesome!

[@dnisey64]

😲 Cool

[@tjecky818]

Figgerella07 I had the same experience! July 19th 2008, One heck of a day! I waited out by his bus with a line of others. Got to meet him, get a picture and I ended up catching the red solo cup from "Smell's like Nirvana" and he signed that for me! It was great! Oh, and my niece was also born that evening as well! LOL!

[@mjprozac]

Yes! I met him outside his tour bus after a show in like 1997. Not to brag, but he told me he loves me (I may have said it first). I also met him at a book signing with my kids. He was more rushed there by the bookstore people but he's a great guy :)

[@ArmindaHeart]

I attended the same church as Weird Al down in LA when I was visiting family. He served communion that day 😆

[@hemaccabe4292]

The turkey was great. The look when he says, "You could have planned it better," was awesome. Well done. Also a perpetual spot of friction in our home. Well done.

[@russianrick8403]

I clicked on this because it said "Weird Al", and I was not disappointed. I would love to see Weird Al parody this.

[@joshuablassingame7714]

I can ACTUALLY see Weird Al Yankovic doing these exact parodies!! Good job Holderness family!!

[@elizabethhoyle9155]

Just the fact that Weird Al calls himself "weird" makes me love him.

[@sherylAA]

he calls himself weird? I thought he was just..."Weird Al"

[@jonathanbair523]

I think it is a law if you lived in the 80's and 90's you must like him.... LOL

[@tinaperez7393]

Penn's commitment to "Macaroni" - the guy knows how to sell it. Every time.

[@BigJDawg4523]

Agreed 💯

[@kristenm2962]

I love Weird Al! My cousin & I used to non-stop, obnoxiously sing 🎶“Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark. All the dinosaurs are running wild! Someone let T-Rex out of his pen. Yeah, I’m sure these things will harm me, cuz they sure don’t act like Barney. They think I’m their dinner & not their friend!!” 🎶 Her & I each had our Weird Al cassette tapes & each of us had a Walkman! Oh the good ‘ol days!! 😂😂😂😂

[@olandir]

The look she gives at "Maybe should have planned it better" was the universal look of "Do you want to come in this kitchen and cook this yourself??"

[@josephamendolea3431]

but then seeming to agree about all his brother's kids being rowdy and eating nothing but the butter rolls 🤣

[@snoopygonewilder]

"[...]You would give everyone salmonella, Ella, Ella, Ella, aye, aye aye [...]" Those lyrics are gold. Also, having Weird Al as idol is totally awesome, guy's a genious.

[@jonogren5567]

My favorite.

[@crazylocome]

Anyone clue me in to the original song this is parodying.... Because the tune is stuck in my head and I can't remember what it's called!

[@TheAbjectator]

Rihanna - Umbrella Kudos for finding a great rhyme for Salmonella. That song clinched this video for me as 100% fresh.

[@doomhammer5517]

Am I the only one who wants a longer version of the first song? I could listen to that all day. MACARONI! Keep it up Penn :)

[@donaldstanfield8862]

Yaasss!!

[@thexalon]

I enjoy Al's song "Alimony" though, way more than "Mony Mony".

[@JiggidyNDG]

I love that some of the parodies are food songs of Weird Al's! That makes this even better!

[@The_Legend47]

I'd say that approximately 65% of Weird Al's songs are food related (maybe a little bit more, IDK)....

[@Irish381]

Weird Al hasn’t sported a mustache in twenty five years or so. So that’s at least a classic 1989 version of Weird Al ! 😊🇺🇸🦅😋🍀👍

[@a.m.6672]

Yes, very Eat It, 1984

[@davidjade4764]

Actually, the latest picture on his Twitter feed has him with some facial hair, including a small mustache. Definitely not as big as his old one. But the glasses are a definite 80's Al flashback.

[@michaelmartin4552]

Actually, he still sometimes wears one. He normally shaves it off before starting a tour, but he does wear them sometimes. Some of his most recent ones had a mustache and goatee.

[@woltersworld]

[@53rdcards]

Oh, he would love it, now if your really lucky, you might even get him to duet with you. Cause he seems like the kinda guy who would do that. Just make sure you have some snacks for Harvey the wonder hamster I've seen him in concert twice, and met him once when he was in pigeon forge TN for the 2nd concert, he had to be the nicest person i've ever met. Had time for every fan that came up, had a look of just being happy to be doing what he is doing.

[@The_Legend47]

"Harvey the Wonder Hamster" is a perennial CLASSIC of a song which, believe it or not, he's performed on a couple episodes of his TV show....

[@ChrisBre1]

When I was a humor writer for Shoebox Cards (A tiny little division of Hallmark) I got to meet Weird Al. I ran into him in Union Station which is a stone's throw from our headquarters. I offered to bring him over to Hallmark to meet the other writers, but he said he needed to get back to his hotel and get ready for his performance that night. I asked if I could walk with him back to his hotel and he said yes. I got to talk to him for about 10 to 15 minutes. The whole time I was with him I was cognizant of the fact that I was in the presence of a musical genius. When we got to his hotel, the last thing he said to me was "I love Shoebox Cards". It's a memory I'll always treasure!

[@caseyjolley7852]

"Beans all by themselves are not enough". . . . hahaha. Quality! I too love weird all.

[@trublgrl]

When Mark Mothersbough of DEVO heard Weird Al's send up/homage called "Dare To Be Stupid," he says he cried. He felt it was perfect. Wierd Al... probably didn't cry over this, but it really is funny and I think Al would appreciate it. You pegged the style and the themes and the sweet humor Al brings to his songs. Gotta get a more glorious wig, though. That is like some UHF-era ish.

[@MiriamMillen]

As always, you two are perfection! His singing skills, her perfect facial expressions, the ease between the two of them, I just love it so much and also, OMG! I am a huge Weird Al fan. I've seen him in concert several times, took both my kids, made fans out of them, he's a genius. And you are genius for parodying the parodyer, lol.

[@alanhilder1883]

Technically they are parodies of someone else in the style of Weird Al.

[@kristenm2962]

I love Kim’s facial expressions & her little quips that she adds in! It’s something I would totally do!!

[@NateOnThe-Radio]

2:23 When you started singing… it reminded of ‘I Love Rocky Road’ by Weird Al Yankovic! But I could possibly see a thanksgiving version at some point

[@sukijohnson5398]

This was one of your best! I love Weird Al! And Kim's reactions- priceless!

[@andimorgan6240]

[@michellem9444]

I love Weird Al too! I got to see him live in concert once. He was SOOO high energy, and changed costumes like, every other song. I don't know how he does it. Great video! Loved the 80's music! :)

[@michaelandereck236]

That was amazing! Penn's singing was spot on and Al has done so many parodies about food - how could he not love it!

Dude could literally be the next Weird Al and is apologizing to Weird Al for it. That's wholesome.

I fear I have ruined Rocky Horror for my son when he is old enough to see the show 🤣

@@3TeamsMedia he actually has more than "some" original music. Every album has at least 4 unique songs. However, I disagree with you. He is parodying Weird Al attempting to look and sound like him.

I need to take out just the clip about the turkey taking forever. A few years ago (okay like 10 years ago probably) we had a Friendsgiving, and it was the first time we had a whole turkey instead of turkey legs. And the friend in charge of the turkey didn't realize they sell them frozen. So he went out and bought it the morning of. The turkey was, eventually, delicious. And, being wonderful friends, we continue to remind him of this error to this day.
