Weird Al Yankovic *Tacky* Reaction Video

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Organizing and shooting a continuous shot is an incredible task. Pulling it off successfully like this is amazing.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Well shot, but, just one more of the amazing things I've seen Weird Al accomplish (or in ths case, inspire) as a performer.

[@CrimsonVolk]

Whats great is he had to run all the way down to the main floor and have changed costume on time.

[@ZwiekszoneRyzyko]

Watch the movie "Russian Ark". The entire film was shot in one take. Not with trick shots like 1917, but really in one go.

[@Eidlones]

This video would honestly be pretty simple to pull off. Might have had to redo it a few times cause some timings were off, but overall, this wouldn't be that difficult. There's no audio from the actual shoot, so it'd be no problem to have the camera guy with a mic, and all the actors have radios. "Ok, Jack? You got 5 seconds before I pull out of the elevator. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..." Plus they all have the music playing, which in itself is a cue for when they need to come out.

Homer Simpson says it best. "A man who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life."

[@amann2547]

Hey guys - thanks for reacting to this for me! And sorry if I opened a rift between the two of you over Jack Black! 😬. I hope this wasn't my "Yoko Ono" moment. 😯 And thanks for your support of the military! 😁

[@amandas.6500]

"Yoko Ono moment" Brilliant 👏👏👏

Great choice Anthony! 👍 That Yoko Ono reference may have resulted in me inhaling my water….lol 😂

weird Al is God i saw him live 4 times i can't wait to see him again seeing him live is amazing

[@UMadUCauseBad]

I remember copying cassettes from the library of weird al, and listening to them on my walkman. Ive only seen him once live about 10 years ago, so amzing

[@parinthianquattropani9071]

This is a gem in Weird Al's crown as the king of parodies, thanks for reviewing this one!

[@samsignorelli]

All done in a single continuous shot. Incredible logistics.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Exactly. It's extremely coordinated.

[@samsignorelli]

@@djhrecordhound4391 the only place there could be a cut would be the wipe from jack black at the back of the theater to him further in, but even that's hard to tell.

[@Bobal27]

@@samsignorelli It was confirmed by Al to be one shot. Do you honestly think he would lie? Al never lies.

[@samsignorelli]

@@Bobal27 I said the only place there COULD have been a cut was at the end of the jack black part....not that there WAS a cut. The phrasing is important.

[@Bobal27]

@@samsignorelli I’m quite aware of the import of your phrasing. The fact you called it “hard to tell,” means you looked hard, at least somewhat expecting evidence or otherwise. I asked if you honestly believed it wasn’t, I accused you of nothing. That harsh response confirmed my suspicions, that you don’t honestly disbelieve him outright, merely question everything, including Al. Sad, but respectable. My phrasing had significance, as well :p Since you seem to thoroughly cover your topics, enough to check for a cut in every frame one may have occurred, you should listen to “Rap God” by Eminem, or re-listen to it, but with a filter asking yourself if any lines sound like they could even be remotely referencing Al or their interaction (from 2003-2004, during a dark period in Em’s life, where I recently found out about him “knocking on Death’s door. I [f’ing] Ding-Dong-Ditched it”). It’ll blow your mind, if you’re as big of an Al fan as I’m guessing you are. If you want to come back and compare notes, that’d be fun. Hopefully you can catch some shots I didn’t, and I guarantee I’ve caught some nobody else has yet. I just dangled my participle in front of all of you, feel uncomfortable yet? Still dangling.

[@davidleary4524]

School of Rock is one of those movies I never get tired of. You can tell the role was written for Jack and those kids were awesome. As for Al, I've seen him in concert 3 times. The most recent was in 2019 when he played with a full orchestra. So much fun.

[@hearttohartwithbri]

Weird Al is so established and it’s an honest honor to be parodied by Weird Al. Even Prince who said no to a Parody many times, loved WeirdAl.

[@hilarymol6607]

Weird Al rules! So glad you reviewed this one! :)

[@turquoisewitch.wild-owl]

I love Margaret Cho! She's hilarious! I can't believe you guys didn't know her!

[@pleutron]

I only didn't know the second person (1st after Al) my first viewing... it was only later that I realized it was Aisha Tyler . I used to like Cho a lot back in the 90's.

[@amandas.6500]

@@pleutron I love Aisha's video for No Ass at All. It's funny. She's funny!

[@legionaireb]

'Jack Black is the most genuine guy in Hollywood.' Second most. Al is the MOST genuine.

[@emcsquared8681]

The fact that Weird Al isn’t in the rock and roll hall of fame is offensive AF.

[@garygantz1053]

I'm 46 and I don't remember not having a crush on Margaret Cho. Actually and Janeane Garofalo, but probably not the place to discuss this. Was fun seeing Aisha Tyler in human form not yelling at Archer or the whose line fellas. Ryan's take on Jack Black is spot on!

[@pleutron]

I had a huge celebrity crush on Garofalo in the 90's

[@legionaireb]

So you've got a thing for funny ladies, huh? What are your thoughts on Kathleen Madigan?

[@garygantz1053]

@@legionaireb I have plenty thoughts...and I'm sure Lewis Black has tried them all and at least 6 I don't even know exist!!

[@moonbeam5340]

Thank you Anthony for your service. Weird Al is what the world needs always!!!

[@bigredz932]

I liked seeing him live, he started with this song streaming from the alley and ending it on stage

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

We NEED NEED NEED some Jack Black reactions now. His hate of Jack will make it amazing

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

This is my favorite Weird Al video. I love the song, but I especially love how it is a one take video. So very well done.

[@corky8490]

Next you need to do White and Nerdy!

[@robertoseveno]

Love the guy on the right's honesty. There's only a tiny bit of Jack B you can take.

[@TennesseeMelanie]

I love Jack Black as well. He is exceptionally talented.

[@terrib627]

During the Mandatory Fun tour he'd start the show off with this song and mimic what he does in this video. He started on his bus and worked his way into the venue and you never quite knew where he was going to show up. Last time he came in behind the audience and walked up the aisle to the stage.

[@andirandolph8830]

Love me some Weird Al 👏

[@cristyrawks6325]

When I first saw this a few weeks ago I absolutely lost it. Watching it again is still a blast!! Tenacious D is soooo goood! Also Weird Al really has a great voice for all his vids!

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I remember seeing Jack Black in a lot of movies before he became popular, and every movie he was in his character would die. One day I was watching one, I think Johnny Skidmarks, and his character lived. I thought "well, I guess he's moving up in Hollywood." And sure enough he was. :)

[@jillians1138]

Tacky…well the directors of this music video nailed the wardrobe with this one…makes me feel even better about my punk rock/gothy style 😂 blue black hair is back for me today too! Wow thought a can of worms got opened there, but gotta say…agree with Ryan on that one! Also….Adam….you were gearing up for a dance off at the beginning there eh? And by the way…who of you two would win in one of those? 🤔

[@tj_2701]

Definitely need to do more of Al he is the best

[@laurataylor8717]

Hey!! When I was a kid we would come up into Canada and rent a cabin in Lake Nipissing, for several summers anyway. It's probably a pretty big lake but I noticed the shirt!

[@jeffburdick869]

I saw Jimmy Eat World, Tenacious D, and Weezer in concert in Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo, MI in the Fall of 2001. It was the first time I'd heard Tenacious D. I wasn't really feeling them during the concert, but afterwards, I DLed some of their songs on kazaa and grew to like them.

[@dorothysewing9997]

Margaret Cho was in the video too.

[@joebikeguy6669]

Speaking of Jack Black, check out the very underrated movie "Bernie". He gives a great dramatic performance in a sad, funny movie.

[@jimwinslett9583]

Not only is it done in a single continuous shot, but Al has about 60 seconds to completely change his wardrobe and get from the 6th floor to the ground floor. Amazing logistics.

[@dreams2xs]

The nice thing about this video, if you need to go rewatch, the camera never cuts. It is all one sequence.

[@RJLupin-zu9xv]

Fun Fact: That apartment/studio was used in The Big Lebowski.

[@frankrappa4765]

I love Tenacious D and Jack Black's movies 🥰

[@Mahlercougar]

Can we give credit to the fact that this video was shot in *1* Take? - lol That camera work for this and the timeng was awesome.! I was turned on to Tenacious D in 2003-5 from a friend of mine that worked at Target with me. I really like Jack Black because he is an enigma. I heard a KZbinr describe JB as: A Really Really Good Singer and musician that acts and tries to sing like hes a BAD singer and musician but isnt good at playing that part . But tries so hard because he acts serious, LIKE he really is a Bad singer who THINKS he is good musician and singer. But in reality JB cant fake that he IS a good singer and musician .. WHEW!!!

[@marlahudgins7038]

Weird Al is the bomb

[@tancar2004]

If you pay attention you'll notice this was done as one continuous shot. Also Al had to get down to the ground floor and change his clothes.

[@michellemccloy823]

[@weirdalyankoviccountdownsa528]

Great review! Glad you liked the song!

[@weirdalyankoviccountdownsa528]

You don't like Jack Black 😥

[@JasonMoir]

Jack Black had a few too many Red Bulls before this shoot.

[@Skye_Writer]

I can understand finding Jack Black to be over the top, and I agree that early on, he definitely was. But I think if you watch "Kung Fu Panda"you might change your mind like I did. That movie was supposed to have an uphill battle with me since I'm not a fan of Jack or of classic martial arts movies in general. Yet I loved every single minute of KFP and its sequels (#2 more than #3, though they are both still fun movies). Give him a chance and see how you like it.

[@anthonyceilyng5562]

Much respect

[@joebikeguy6669]

A bit late here . . . but Weird Al is a fantastic musician with a great band. Check out his live performances on KZbin. His live performance of "The North Korea Polka" (with a group of session musicians) on the John Oliver show is well worth a watch. BTW, I'm pretty sure this whole video was shot in one continuous take.

[@spiderfingers86]

This music video is a parody of Pharrell Williams's Happy and is done in a single take
