"Weird Al" Yankovic Tacky

[@tbmin3d]

Look, maybe it's his natural charisma, but Eric Stonestreet totally pulls off the absolutely garbage outfit he's in.

[@Darkkfated]

Not mentioned: the video was shot in one continuous take. No cuts. One cameraperson. Had to nail the entire thing in a single take or start all over. Notice that Weird Al had to run downstairs and change outfits in about 90 seconds in order to get ready for the final sequence.

[@darylabrams2]

I believe he said this video took 4 or 5 takes to get it right. That means he ran down that building like at least 4 times. Talk about a workout.

[@TuxKamen]

At least the clothes change wouldn't be too bad, if he had the second outfit under the first. Even then, we know he's good with costume changes from his concerts!

[@highwayhobo1981]

In his Mandatory Fun tour he opened with this walking from the tour bus to the stage in camera

[@brianmaniora3992]

It was not one continuous take. There are several wipe cuts.

[@jonnybrello4360]

@@TuxKamen He does multiple wardrobe changes during his live shows, part of his routine, in a way.

[@RenRabbitHole]

The people were Aisha Tyler, the voice of Lana on Archer, Margaret Cho, comedienne, Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family, Kysten Schall from lots of voice and acting roles, also a stand up comedienne, and Jack Black. I've been a fan of Weird Al since the early days on the Doctor Demento radio show. One of the nicest and most talented people you could ever meet. Glad you liked this! His song Foil (parody of Lourde's Royals is short but REALLY funny, too

[@qadgopthemercotan]

Use the right adhesive remover, the stickers come off easily without leaving adhesive. And the value of the car plummets as soon as it's driven off the lot, so a few bumper stickers won't bother the value a bit in 99% of the cases.

[@randallpetersen9164]

Exactly. I was about to make the same comment but won't now. I've even got a few racing stripes on mine and they'll be easy to remove if I ever sell it. Most likely though I'll keep it as a track car and start serious performance modding it in a couple years. Oh yeah, it's not hard to remove badges either; couple of techniques, fishing line and/or tool.

[@chriswhinery925]

I have literally never heard a story of a fan having a negative interaction with him. He's always, always kind and grateful to his fans. That alone should put him in the famous people hall of fame.

[@troypullen7469]

We saw Weird Al a few years ago and he opened with this song. His band started this song on stage and the video on the over-head big screen was Weird Al singing this song from his dressing room. He came out of the room, and down the hall... I still didn't realize he was live with a camera man leading him until he came in the back door and right by us through the whole crowd up to the stage singing this with a ,cordless headset mic on all the way. He took a drink out of one lady's hand right next to us while singing and dancing and handed it to someone else half way up to the stage... hilarious! Al and his whole band and crew are so talented! What a show!

this whole video is one take by the way, so in between the first scene and the last, Weird Al runs downstairs and changes his outfit before appearing in the last scene, there are no stops, it's really impressive

[@randallpetersen9164]

It's one continuous shot, but they did 6 takes to achieve it. This is take 6. Al has said that 3 and 5 were also excellent.

Keep reacting to his videos, it is always great to see new people react to him, I have been a fan of his since I was like 10 (the first time I heard one of his songs), he has so many great parodies, but also alto of great originals, and pastiches (style parodies, were he imitates the style of an artist but not a particular song).

[@2down4up]

While I 1000% agree with your feelings on the bumper stickers, as an auto tech myself there is a way to remove them cleanly and easily. This is only valid assuming your paint beneath the stickers is in good shape and properly adhered to whatever the substrate is. In other words original OE or a really really good repair. With that disclaimer out of the way, the tools required is a drill and a body eraser. A body eraser is a big rubber wheel that smells like it’s made of exactly the same stuff as a pencil eraser but has a different feel to it. Chuck one of those in a drill, find a good speed and pressure and along with a little adhesive remover or denatured alcohol, those stickers and their adhesive will come off in minutes if not seconds.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh cool!!

[@shivag73]

I'm such a nerd I got to knock this off my Bucket List when he came to Mobile about 5 years ago a few days for my birthday. He came into the building singing this song. It was hilarious watching people's reaction. This is so my theme song.

I agree with the bumper sticker pet peeve. If you MUST put one on at least put it in the bottom/corner of a window where it can be scraped off later

[@CaptainMarvelsSon]

Heavily spray the bumper sticker with Goo Be Gone. Let it sit for about 30 seconds and try to peel it off. Scrape lightly with anything blunt but stiff like a butter knife or a gift card. Most of it should come off. Scrub a little with soapy water, dry, and repeat. If the sticker doesn't come off completely the second time, they used military-grade glue or something because I I have never failed to remove any sticker from a hard surface (fabric is more difficult)

Even if you take the stickers off of a vehicle without ruining the clearcoat the paint around them will be faded so you will have brighter spots where the stickers were. You should only ever put them on the glass, and even then don't...

Thank you for the reaction beautiful

[@coletrickle-km7cl]

Not all that hard to take stickers off and totally remove its sticky residue if you got a aerosol can of brake cleaner. You can get this at any auto oarts store. If its on the glass, Then use a razor blade to start to razor blade it off it off and spray the sticker and you can work it off there And the brake cleaner will remove the sticker residue completely. Brake cleaner won't hurt your paint job (or the glass for that matter)if the sticker is stuck to the paint. I've done this 100 times. If stuck to the paint You can buy a eraser wheel from a auto parts store that attaches to a cordless drill and erase the sticker off there. Or peel it off there and spray brake cleaner into a rag and rub the rag on the sticker glue and it will come off there and be like it was never there. Brake cleaner is a auto mechanics all purpose cleaner. Good for removing oil off your car. And other uses.
