I don't think anyone actually thinks knowledge is unhip unless they're anti-intellectual. It's not the knowledge itself that's nerdy, but pointless knowledge, especially an overemphasis on pointless knowledge. The obsession of it is what makes it nerdy. Like just about everyone doesn't mind watching a Star Wars movie every once in a rare while, but it's when you become a Star Wars fan, attend conventions, etc, that it becomes nerdy. Same thing with stuff that is designed to be cool like metal music. Danzig is a pretty cool band, but toss in a Danzig convention and a whole bunch of metal nerds will attend, thus having made metal nerdy.

I feel like you’re not nerdy enough to get some of these references, lol. I’m not sure if you got the Kirk or Picard reference or not, but they were both captains of the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek, played by William Shatner and Patrick Stewart respectively, and Kirk v. Picard is a stereotypical nerd debate. Other people have explained the Star Wars special and Klingon, and JavaScript is a computer coding language.

Never seen/played it, but I still know what it is and some basic things about it from how famous it is.

I remember those days when you had to keep your nerdiness a secret. I knew no one else who shared my nerdiness interests until at least college. I tried to convince my high school English teacher to consider including science fiction into the curriculum. It didn't work. There was no Star Wars yet. Comic book stores didn't exist yet or there were very few. There were no personal computers and calculators were just coming on the general market. In college I met guys that built electronic circuits for fun (hence the soldering gun). Oh, yeah, we watched Monty Python all the time and could recite all the skits, and when we got Mine Sweeper, I probably played for 6 months straight. First fanny packs were cool but then they became uncool, only nerds kept wearing them. If you wore pocket protectors you were a nerd. A/V club was the predecessor of the Computer Club, and Glee Club, in high school at least, meant singing music no one else wanted to listen to. The Drama club was actually cool, though. And I knew people later who went to Renaissance Fairs every week.

At 6:15 he bought Star Wars "Holiday Special" which was aired on TV and was modified version of original Star Wars and it had also implemented parts with Bobba Feet. And it was only on VHS and actually Lucas payed that they pulled it off sale and destroy all copies. It is almost impossible to get one today. If get it at all.

OMG! THAT WAS REALLY GOOD! Do you remember when he did EAT IT (Michael Jackson) and when he did AMISH PARADISE (Coolio)? My suster got tickets to see Weird Al and we were standing in line to get inside. She saud to me, "Why are all these guys wearing Hawaiian shirts, look at them." As soon as she said that it dawned on us that it was Weird Al's signature style. We were laughing and laughing. Weird Al came up to our seats, but he moved around all over the place. It was a good concert. Funny.

Yes, he bought a bootleg, but look what it is!! I saw Carrie Fischer live at the Improv a few years before she passed and she mentioned that Star Wars Christmas Special, calling it horrible but saying she was under contract. She also mentions this Al video and said only EXTREME nerds ever wanted to see it and few would pay money for it. I figure she’s the expert and she was a fan of Weird Al!!

You caught Key & Peele. The redhead with the cherry action figures is Seth Green. Dr. Evil's son in Austin Powers, Oz the werewolf in Buffy, and genius creator of Robot Chicken. That's Donny Osmond dancing his azz off behind Weird Al. He's a 70's bubblegum pop star with his family band and tv show. The lady with the surge protector is Judy Tenuta. Weird Al's real life friend. She was a stand-up comedian with an accordian and an attitude. Does anybody know who all the "gangstas" in this are? Googled but couldn't find answers.

Yikes, your reaction made me realize how old I am! I’m glad that things have changed so much. I have a 17 year old niece and I would hate it if she lived in a world where being unusual and intelligent is bad. That being said, I think you missed the vast majority of the references, understandably. They are dated.

Klingon is a race in Star Trek as well as the language that race speaks. It's one of the most fleshed out conlangs (constructed languages) in existence, and it's considered the epitome of nerd/geekdom to be fluent in it.

What makes that "bootleg" so nerdy, is that it was the Star Wars Christmas Special. For decades, Lucas refused to release it. He was embarrassed that it exist. It can now be watched on KZbin.
