(Because I'm tacky)
Wear my belt with suspenders and sandals with my socks
(Because I'm tacky)
Got some new glitter Uggs and lovely pink sequined Crocs
(Because I'm tacky)
Never let you forget some favor I did for you
(Because I'm tacky)
If you're okay with that, you might just be tacky, too

I believe his parodies are classic, and naturally outlive whatever music trends come along. He's highly intelligent with a sense of the absurd which, for lack of a better word, has deemed him "Weird Al" Yankovic. I've been a fan since his earliest days on the Dr. Demento radio show. Sunday nights on KMET? That part is a bit fuzzy, but I looked forward to hearing his newest recordings. He's really bent in the best way possible.

In case people are wondering who was used in this video (in order of appearance)... 1) "Weird Al" Yankovic (Parody legend) 2) Aisha Tyler (Comedian, Whose Line is it Anyway) 3) Margaret Cho (Comedian, Drop Dead Diva) 4) Eric Stonestreet (Actor, Modern Family) 5) Kristen Schaal (Actress, Flight of the Conchords) 6) Jack Black (Actor, School of Rock)

[@WobblesandBean]

My friend Kevin is a KJ and a bit of a hometown hero who looks a lot like Weird Al. Every year Al performs at the OC Fair, and Kevin always goes to see him. Several years ago, people kept coming up to Al at the fair and saying "hey Kevin, is that you?" Eventually he bumped into Kevin, and immediately recognized him as The Imposter. He told him "this is the first time I've ever been recognized in public as someone other than me!" They got a selfie together, made Kevin's day, it was awesome. Al is such a good sport and one of the kindest people in the music industry.

Then, as if that weren't bad enough, there's the bathroom selfies they take at the viewing or, worse yet, afterwards at the wake, showing off their "sexy" funeral clothes. No shit.

[@Beegrene]

From the man himself: It was so fun. You all know who was in it… all the great celebrity friends that I’ve got… it was just amazing. At one point, Kristen Schaal turned to me and she said, “I hope we get to do this all day long.” It was six takes. And we used the sixth take, although takes five and four and three were all great, too, it was kind of hard to… maybe at some point Nerdist will put up take five or some kind of alternate take so you can see some of the other stuff. It was, in fact, one continuous shot… believe me, it was one continuous take. And for every single take, as soon as the camera was off me, I had to run as fast as I could down five flights of stairs (because the elevator was being used) while changing my clothes so I could hit my mark and be there at the end of the video. Jack Black killed. If you think that was the only take that was good - every single take, he was, like, clicking his heels above his head… amazing, amazing energy. And he wouldn’t even take the elevator back up, he was, like, “No, I’m gonna jog up the stairs every time!”

I realize this is probably a joke, but if it isn’t: there’s probably dozens of hidden camera shots hidden in the video. For example 1:36, the elevator doors closing were probably a camera cut, that was made seamless with the previous cut

[@voprais]

​@@artemixzs It IS actually a single shot. From his Reddit AMA: "While it looks like there MIGHT have been an edit somewhere, I absolutely guarantee you, that was all done in ONE CONTINUOUS SHOT. That was a bit of a challenge for me, because I start the video on a 5th floor fire escape, and I reappear on street level wearing completely different clothes. That means - for EVERY TAKE - as soon as the camera was off me I had to run down 5 flights of stairs WHILE CHANGING MY CLOTHES so I could be on camera again at the end. Definitely got my workout THAT day!"
