This is the best one because Weird Al is not only a musician but a comedian. The other ones with just musicians fall flat because they don't play off of Vanessa's "bad advice" like Al does. He makes it into a successul comedy routine.

[@fytatyr8110]

She can't catch him off guard, he's too on-the-ball with the witty banter.

[@sophiet1576]

Als got some fine looking hair.

[@jsullivan2112]

"Or Norm Al, like normal." Bam! On fire straight outta the gate!

[@kalpic11]

Weird Al makes this liek 10 times funnier than all the other ones cause he goes along with it and adds in stuff.

[@Nerdist]

Can't wait to pick up the next album from Norm Al Yankovic.

[@jacksquatjb]

I was thinking Norm Al, then he said it. Glad to know we are on the same wavelength XD

[@clausinechen8179]

They play off of each other so well. More of the same!

[@wilable70]

Vanessa Bayer is ridiculously attractive.

[@joseveijanen3715]

So cute

[@platypusvsunicorns]

Weird Al never misses a beat.!

[@robertwangenstein8569]

Weird Al is always good!

[@improveverywhere]

So Legit Shan't Quit

[@northerncalirealestate]

They were so vibing on this one. :-)

[@MyDamnChannel]

Weird Al and Vanessa Bayer (sorry, "Janessa Slater")? We can't tell who we have a bigger crush on!

[@sjbelew9204]

We can because Vanessa is annoying and not funny even though she's trying. Weird Al is awesome.

[@g.christianriley5653]

Weird Al= sir Isaac Newton

[@1234BLISTEX]

Yayy more sound advice!!

[@knightreader8272]

ok, i went to acting school for a bit. When they reached the second celebrity (MC Hammer) and said I hope he gets well in a similar way they did with Bono (which cracked me up), would you call that a troph in the improv world?

[@hazedood]

Flipping hilarious! Not only does Baer sell this character so VERY well from moment one, but how all of these musical sensations play along (and play along so well) is just... awesome. Why hasn't Baer been give dozens of movie contracts yet? Vanessa... I hear Marvel is looking to cast Ms. Marvel - if they come to you they'd absolutely have Ms. Marvelous! (ahem...)

[@TooLooze]

Mr. Weird can play a mean accordion, too.

[@existensialcoffee9520]

NORM AL IS BEST!!!!!!!!!!

[@snappycatchy]

He doesn't look like a Disney villain so much as a Stuart courtier.

[@Hellwyck]

+snappycatchy He looks like Captain Hook in the movie Hook

[@herothehedgefox]

I have NEVER seen him this normal

[@widgetgriffon]

So Vanessa does 'Between Two Ferns' :-/

[@RoadieJeff85]

I haven't watched Saturday Night Live in almost 15 years, so I wouldn't have known... but Vanessa is a fucking *babe!*

[@sV3Z1]

What a strangely attractive woman

[@Selene23]

Love Weird Al!

[@VCCassidy]

Leave it to a comedy musician to know how to properly Yes/And.

[@xxxCYCOxxx]

Norm-Al

[@fuzzylumpkin49]

Awesome! Weird Al gives sound advice, too. ^_^

[@DanCaporello]

get well soon, Al.

[@LilJacobyyyy]

NORM Al haha

[@gibberconfirm166]

Wow that song is actually called "Axel F". Brilliant all around!

[@Hellwyck]

+gibberconfirm It's the theme tune for the character Axel Foley by Harold Faltermayer.

[@JordanAthemusiclover]

Weird Al wouldn't be the same if he was Norm Al

[@alexvesel1]

Please have Lana Del Rey on the show. It would be so interesting to see

[@LockedPuppy]

what are the words she likes using? there was a sound glitch right when she said them? and what does she swear on? the bible, the koran, any other book of tales and rules? english is so hard sometimes.. help me learn it better!

[@georgerosebush9754]

Swears are bad words, they were bleeped out, are you trolling?

[@NevTheDeranged]

George Rosebush If that was a troll, it was fantastically done.

[@stephvandykeozzy]

This lady, Janessa, is that her name? Well, she is strange! I like Weird Al because he's a talented genius! But this was a strange interview!

[@AspenEmrys]

get well soon, Norm Al

[@candy13boy]

she's so hot!

[@djgiga2]

I love Axel F great fucking song

[@Hellwyck]

+djgiga Tune, a song has lyrics.

[@comedycentraloriginals]

Ok, maybe Weird Al has a little Jafar in him. We can see it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5-ng32AjMhslck

[@michaelhruska5870]

I was thinking Captain Hook!

[@amandalively1]

Vanessa is beautiful.

[@circle8930]

He finally aged HURRAH?

[@Stevesk0011]

Why does Al look like he wants to cry?

[@christina9174]

Looked more like his eyes are smiling...like. he's trying not to laugh. She seemed pretty ditzy and full of herself.

[@broadcastthis558]

i feel like zeitgeist should just be used like 'gravitas' if the next president says this word, its slam dunk. If I don't get taken out like from any of the people who i pissed off in mafia. im done with politics. i feel its respite from Art and Partying RN.

[@greybread301]

This was the first person on this show I know

[@tatewinter8056]

what was the actual advice here

[@alperozanozcan8442]

!

[@calebnolin780]

what is this my dad is a cd

[@renebravo5446]

Fdhhh

[@christianlanuzo9875]

FIRST EVRYTHING

[@Hellwyck]

...and this is what America's calling "comedy"?

[@seop1721]

Hozier.

[@krisverduyckt2857]

Ok, this was quite boring

[@badbunnymarcus]

Holy guac is this awful, i thought this was supposed to be above average?

[@77GRANDDAD]

You must not understand what humor is or the sarcasm that they both are putting out there. Subtle humor can be hard to get for simple minded people.

[@Hellwyck]

+TheWyldstalion I think people who find this awful DO know humour.

[@christina9174]

So subtle llike it was hardly even there...Weird Al was funny, but she just seems too self-absorbed to be funny.

[@frostleafsilver1051]

Not funny...really not funny.
