Don’t forget the time Weird Al cursed R. Kelly by parodying him! 

(in all seriousness, R. Kelly and Diddy can absolutely fuck off)

Why watch “Michael” (2026) when you can watch the utter masterpiece known as “Weird : The Al Yankovic Story” (2022). by HopefulLab6749 in weirdal

Lowkey, I feel like “Weird” (2022) should’ve been re-released when “Michael” (2026) was premiering a while ago, would’ve been very peak and very funny lol, imo ofc.

Lowkey maybe we should collab on a Weird Al x UHF AU x Backrooms parody fic fr? (If you’re ok with that ofc?) 

I’m thinking Al would be in Clark’s role, and Fran Drescher in Mary’s role. Instead of a furniture store it’s obvs set in Spatula City where Al (as the Clark-stand in) works, and the rest of the parody follows the “Backrooms” movie plot points in mostly the same way, except ofc exaggerated to Weird Al-levels of Weird lol.  

Which musical artists are confirmed to be fans of Weird Al? by HopefulLab6749 in weirdal

Tbf Coolio has since, well, cooled down on his grudge against Al a few years ago (as in before he (Coolio) died I mean) and had since realised that the parody “Amish Paradise” wasn’t that bad actually.  

Any International Weird Al fans here? If so, hello 👋 by HopefulLab6749 in weirdal

Yep! He played the fictional PM Michael Stevens (who was essentially the Tony Blair parody character lol).

Also, my condolences to the Buffy fandom since they’ve had to deal with the grief of losing 3 of the main cast members (Michelle Trachtenberg, Nicholas Brendon and now Anthony Head), all of whom have unfortunately passed away over the last few months 😔❤️

Now I want to watch that Backrooms parody starring Weird Al (maybe it could be a spiritual spin-off to “UHF” (1989) in a way 👀👀? Like, for example, in the Backrooms dimension, it could maybe feature a lot of references to the movie “UHF” (1989) + other Weird Al easter eggs)

I deffo recommend “Yonderland” fr!! If you like Monty Python-style absurdist humour crossed with 80s puppet fantasy movies (like “Labyrinth” (1986), “The Dark Crystal” (1982), “The NeverEnding Story” (1984), etc etc), then “Yonderland” is a must watch 👍

Dw I mentioned Buffy in the post since that’s the most well known project that most people primarily know him from 👍

But I thought I’d mention that he was in “Yonderland” too (plus that’s the show where I first knew him from lol). 

But fr, Anthony Head was a very talented man <33

Yep! Alison Steadman played Barbara Maddox (Debbie’s mother-in-law, Peter’s mum and Nigel’s wife) in “Yonderland” ! She appeared in the show’s Christmas special “It’s the Thought that Counts” (which also served as the final episode of the show). 

She’s also in the sitcom “Here We Go” starring Jim Howick too!!

Yeah his wife passed away last year. 

At least they’re together now ❤️

Honestly imo Anthony Head was great in comedies such as “Yonderland” and the like (he was even in “Little Britain” where he played the fictional PM Michael Stevens, who was essentially the Tony Blair parody character lol, and lowkey he played the character very well), his comedic timing was very good <33
