Hey, it's got Donny Osmond in it! He looks amazingly like David Hasselhoff in the first shot... which works as well.

There were two Mormons in that video. Donny and Jon Heder.
I don't know who's nerdier: Al for making the video, or me because I can point out by name just about everyone with a cameo in it.
That's the funniest thing Al's done since his saturday morning TV show. Thanks for the link.

That is hilarious. I've sent it on to many white and nerdy friends who I know will love it to.

The myspace page is real and is here. And the dog's page is here. Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :
The MySpace page has yet another song from him, "You're Pitiful". Oddly appropriate for this crowd.

I just figured he meant himself and some of the other people where he works.

OK, how many things listed in the video apply to you? Be honest, now...
Posted by MrSquicky (Member # 1802) on :
I got to admit, I think the video would have been much funnier if they played the black people as afraid of the nerdy white guy. You know, crossing the street to get away from him and stuff. It looked like they were going that way in the first bit when they freaked out and locked their car when he was coming over.
To me flipping around the racial stereotypes and making nerdy white people objects of fear rather than ridicule would have fit better as a parody and been funnier.

I've been calling Donny Osmond white and nerdy for years. Nice to be validated. No Ken Jennings, though?
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
I couldn't find John Heder in the video.
Oh, and I couldn't get the video work form the earlier link, so here's Weird Al's myspace page which has the video:
I think Heder is in the bowling group. The "Don't Download This Song" video on the myspace page is cool too. It's animated by Plympton, which means nothing to me, but my girlfriend is suitably white and nerdy to have recognized it immediately.
I was wondering if he was in the bowling group, and I even paused it to check, but I don't think he is.

Quite a few, I can't lie. A few didnt, but I knew OF them.
Pause the video when you can see the trivial persuit card, I lol'd. There's tons of halarious stuff going on in the background look for it. Was that Seth Green with the action figures? Were those Robot Chicken figures?
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
Yes, that was Seth Green. I hadn't made the Robot Chicken connection, but I'm sure that's it. Weird Al had a music video on that show a little while ago.
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
The favorite part of that video is Donny Osmond's great dancing skills.
You know, if Ken Jennings had been in the video, it would have been a white and nerdy and mormon trifecta.

That video was hilarious.

Alright, I also dig this fan video of "You're Pitiful."

Things Nerds Say: "I like the Weird Al version better."
Things Even Bigger Nerds Say: "What song was that a parody of, anyway?"
I'm in the second category on this one. I'm assuming it's one of the parodies, because he said his originals on this album would have the animated videos.

I've said both of those things. Posted by MrSquicky (Member # 1802) on :
The song he was parodying is called Ridin' by Chamillionaire. Catch the oh so witty use of the multiple definitions of "riding dirty". Man, the boy's a Shakespeare.
I fall into the first category. I really don't like the song, but I do like Weird Al's version.
Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
I'm in category 2 as well. But I really liked this video and the parody itself (which I actually heard on the radio this morning.)

Well I guess this sort of explains the Seth Green cameo in the video. The Weasel Stomping Day song from the new album was used in a Robot Chicken sketch tonight. So it looks like they've been working together some. Good stuff.

I'm in Category 2 but the video is hilarious.

Category 2!
I thought the line about not knowing whether he liked Kirk or Picard was hilarious! Was that Schrodinger's equation in the background?

Makes me want to buy a Segway.
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
I love how he controles it in the video without his hands.
Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :
Hey, that's nerdy talent right there. Not even the President of the United States could do that without falling on his ass.
