I love the Donny Osmond cameo. Weird Al is so talented. Gotta give props for his rap skills. 💙

What I love is that Al was able transcendence and even Chamillion was utterly impressed and stated the only reason why he won his award was because Al brought it forward to people’s mind, so cred was put where cred was due. I love seeing rappers’ reactions to this, because not only is it like this, but he can also sing it live without assistance, they also put a tip to the “white & nerdy” guy lol.

There is so much in a Weird Al video that nobody can get all the references the first time, which is one measure of how much time and effort he puts into creating these videos. One example-the equation on the whiteboard isn't a random collection of stuff that looks like math. It's actually a derivation of Schrodinger's wave equation for describing how a sub-atomic particle moves in a three-dimensional field.

“All About the Pentiums” and “Hardware Store” have mad flows. “Trapped in the drive thru” and “Foil” are both hilarious, lol. Great reaction!

What impressed me the most about this song is how exactly he matched Krayzie Bone's flow, pace, and style while rapping about something completely different than what he was. Lol

Having Weird Al parody your song is a greater honor than all of the music awards given out around the world, put together. If he hasn't received a Kennedy Center by now (or by the time I die), he most definitely should. He is a unique and gifted genius by any definition.

3:51 Klingon is the language the Klingons used in Star Trek.

I grew up with Weird Al - I can't imagine only JUST discovering this awesomeness. Weird Al is life. He is 100x more talented than most folks give him credit for.

Weird Al is a lyrical buzz saw. "Word Crimes (Blurred Lines)" is also crazy like this one.

Klingon is an alien race usually antagonistic in the Star Trek TV series back in 1965-1969 or so, they were usually used as enemies, in Star Trek TNG, it was pretty much the same except they now had brow ridges and only one Klingon had joined Starfleet. The language they spoke was also called Klingon as well.

Weird Al is a living legend! Glad you’re enjoying his music.

The look on your face when Weird Al was doing the bubble wrap was priceless. I'm told that Chamillionaire gave Weird Al the costume pieces you see him wearing.

Klingon is a real language cobbled together by dedicated Star Trek fans. There have been weddings in Klingon.

You should react to Weird Al's Song Hardware Store!!! If you really wanna hear his flow.

I can't take away your nerd card, but you picking out the action figures you recognize while Seth Green (Oz from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", creator of "Robot Chicken") is pointing at them just had me laughing my butt off.

If you're going to go down a rabbit hole, Weird Al is an amazing one to go down. The man has been doing this since 1976, and has had the same band since the early '80s (Rubén, the keyboard player, is the "new guy" who joined in '91). If you think _this_ is him flowing, you'd be mistaken. If you want to hear him flow, listen to "Hardware Store." I've heard another KZfaqr who reacted to that video describe Al as being on "Eminem timing," and he wasn't wrong.

He's actually really talented and got skills and plus such great sense of humor he's one of a kind that's for sure

No, Scary Movie was the Wayans brothers. . My favourite thing about this video is the fact that he got Donny Osmond to be his backing dancer.

That guy waving his arms at the action figures like he was on "the Price is Right" was actor Seth Green (he played Dr. Evil's son Scott in the Austin Powers movies). "Klingon" is the language of Klingons. They're a fictional race in the Star Trek universe. Between phrases used in the shows and movies, and the enthusiasm of fans, they've created an actual working language. "Lord of the Rings" fans did the same things with the language of the Elves...but they had a lot more help from the guy that originally wrote the books.

Loved this! A bit of warning though; you just fell down a rabbit hole...and it is deeeeep. You need several months to properly explore the genius that is weird Al. He's benn doing this sort of thing since the late 70s. Not only has he done great parodies, his original songs are just as good. You have to do the classics like Fat, Eat it, Living with a Hernia, etc, his more recent parodies like Trapped in the Drive Thru and Couch Pitato, as well as his originals like CNR. And, to really appreciate his flow, you absolutely MUST do Hardware Store. Keep up the great reactions. Im excited to see more Weird All from you

Got to see Weird Al perform this song live in concert. His parody of Chamillionaire's "Ridin' Dirty"

5:08 Each picture, his head is in almost EXACTLY the same place, and I find that hilarious

This is a legit great song, and the bars and flow are actually impressive.

You are COMPLETELY missing Seth Green (Robot Chicken, the Austin Powers movie series, voice of Chris Griffin on Family Guy) showing off the action figures! You also didn't recognize Donnie Osmond as the dancer behind Weird Al (Donnie was a member of the Morman family singing group The Osmonds in the 1960s, later formed a successful singing duo with his sister Marie Osmond; Donnie is a perfect representative of "White"). Javascript is a programming language, Klingon is the language spoken by the alien Klingon race in Star Trek. Weird Al has been doing this his entire adult life. He started in his late teens, in the college radio station (he had early entry to college), so he has many decades of recorded material. It started as just silly ("Another One Rides the Bus", etc), but when he got permission and help from Michael Jackson doing "Fat" ("Bad") and "Eat It ("Beat It") in the early 1980s, he was on his way to a career. As time has gone on, his lyrics have become increasingly sophisticated, his grasp of genres more sharp, his humor more insightful and clever. He always asks the original artist(s)'s permission, is sometimes ASKED by the artist to parody their work (Madonna for "Like A Surgeon" and James Brown for "Living With A Hernia"), and only one person ever refused Al's request to parody (Prince), and one other said no (a mixup in communication) but later was glad Al did the parody (Coolio for "Amish Paradise"). James Blunt's label said no, though James would have loved it; Lady GaGa's management said no, though she gave consent when she heard about the request later. In those instances, Weird Al made the parodies but only put them on KZfaq (no commercial return for Al, so no copyright infringement). You should see how proud and excited Lyn-Manuel Miranda is that Weird Al did a polka medley of Hamilton Songs (The Hamilton Polka)! A lot of reactors have made a point of marveling at Weird Al's bars and flow, completely apart from the music and funny. I think the best demonstration of this is the list of "all that stuff" he names in the song "Hardware Store", delivered all in one breath, no breaks.

Weird Al is a great rapper no cap. It sounds kinda sentenced and choppy but it’s because he annunciates his words through. It’s pretty incredible how great of a musician the dude is. He can legit do any genre of music, just as good as the original, and make it funny and creative. This man is terribly underrated.

Klingon is the language of a war-oriented (but also technologically advanced) race of the same name from the Star Trek franchise. In the nerd community, it's considered an extra stamp on your nerd card if you can speak a fictitious language. Klingon was the first fictitious language that was learned widespread. The language itself involves quite a bit of gutteral growling and barking of words.

Hardware store- weird Al

He is so talented i have been seeing his videos for 45 years and realized he has skills. Donny osmond in background

I got to see Al live, in Austin Texas, in the early 2000's. He actually wore all the costumes from his videos, including the suit from "Fat", and the Jedi robes from "The Saga Begins".

Not only does almost every artist he’s parodied respect him, he got the goats for this

4:38 The jaw drop during this section makes the video.

4:45 The moment you realize Weird Al's actually 100% legit.

Seth Green showing off the Action Figures

This week, Weird Al announced a 6 month, 133 date tour in 2022 called: The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour

Krazy now you know why weird Al is the king and the best of of parodies and so respected by other musicians many don't even feel that have made it as singers till he parodies a song of thiers

Weird Al is amazing. And most musicians and bands pray that he parodies them. Some even worked with him to make the parodies perfect.

The Star Wars VHS Tape @06:13 isn't the Movie, its the at the time hard to get "Holiday Special" which aired on TV. It's so bad that George Lucas wanted to get rid of it.

Dude in the background is Donny Osmond honestly he's killing.

Dude! That was great. I love your honest. That was fun

Weird Al has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

I agree Julie Ford, Donny was great. I think he stole the parts he was shown in personally. LOL

I've been told in THREE different countries that my skin color is causing other people pain. This song is my anthem and I used to speak Klingon with my dad.

Oh boy. I can't wait for this Weird Al rabbit hole. And please do another week, you won't be disappointed.

Just now realized his choice in the action figure scene is genius, cuz Seth Green has a pretty good chance of being on that wall… in fact, I hope he is… gotta look it up and zoom in, haha. (Thinking specifically of his role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, tho it would not surprise me to see a Scott Evil action figure, lol.)

Your reaction to this was the best I've seen. Klingon is the language spoken by Worf in Star Trek: Next Generation. Someone actually published a Klingon language book. I know because my "white and nerdy" son had one back in the day. I woke up one morning hearing the most God-awful noises, and it was my son practicing his Klingon. 😄

I love how Wierd Al can even sound like the person he is parodying

That many laugh wins a sub. :D

Donny Osmond is such the King here.

I love Key & Peele in the car at the beginning 🤣🤣

On the shelf scene...on the top shelf is Princess Lea, Han Solo, Chewie, and Luke too from Star Wars.

5:12 my same reaction to those flows

I love how they lock the doors on a CONVERTIBLE

The top line and to the left of the figurines in this video are "traditional" Star Wars Figures ranging from Episode VI-V.

Donny Osmond with his sister Marie Osmond had their own show in the 70s and they were like goody two shoes Mormons who never drank coffee and soft drinks. Their theme song was: I'm a little bit country, and I'm a little bit rock n roll. That song made me barf every time it was on TV. Just like Michael Jackson's family were goody two shoes Jehovah's Witnesses with several hit songs. The Osmond Brothers had a string of hits in the early 70s too.

"Think I'm just too white and nerdy." "Why do you have Pac-Man in the back?" White........and Nerdy. LOL

Key and Peele were still on MADtv at this time.

Lol 😂 that’s right Weird Al has bars🙌🙌please do WORD CRIMES!🤗👑👑👑

Klingon is from Star Trek.

This is such a genuine reaction video-his face at the bubble wrap says it all. Most reaction vids just stare and gloss over it.

th e guy in the background is Donny Osmond.....as white and nerdy as ya can get...........LOL

Watch him as Isaac newton on ERB, you gotta the cadence of his second verse

Just a bit of trivia, during the action figure scene, the background "dancer" is Seth Green, the co creater of robot chicken

Wait was that Seth Green at 2:37 !?. He saw the figures which are so blurry but not Seth, LOL.

Key & Peele were on a show called MadTV back in 2006, that's how people knew them.

I'm not a fan of Star Trek, but my mom is a Trekkie so I kinda grew up having some unwanted knowledge just purely due to exposure. Klingons are a race of aliens that have been around since the oriringal, and have their own language. It was initially made up but then someone started to break it down and it eventually became so goddamn popular that it's the most widely spoken fictional language with an entire institute dedicated to translation, development and teaching of Klingon.

Bloody brilliant ...so enjoyed this thanku so ...fabulous reaction thanku so much love and God bless x

This song and Amish paradise is his best.

Hardware Store is one of the greatest flows. Full stop.

U may find Weird Al to be not funny... But u GOT to recognize the men have some skills. I love him.

Klingon - Star Trek reference to the Klingon species and their language. Kirk vs Picard another Star Trek nod.

Al said in an interview that Donnie Osmond was the whitest person he could think of.

Weird Al is freaking untouchable.

Finally! Someone noticed the Pac-Man!

Is funny how today almost everything Al does in the video is cool. I mean, it kinda went cool to be nerdy.

Bro You Gotta do Living With a Hernia, James Brown Cover

Weird Al Yankovic, he had been doing parodies since the concept of "Parody was invented!"

The Klingons were the aliens in Star Trek.

When you paused *@**2:30* I thought you were going to say this must be during the error of The *SPINNERS* but No you were focused on the *Action Figures*

I know its paradies of famous songs, but Weird Al is a genius!! Most artists that Weird Al does paradies of say they know they've made it when Al does their songs🎶🎶

I love that mayonnaise is considered nerdy

He is genuinely white and neardy, and jewish. Check out “Pretty fly for a rabbi”. Also a genius.

Shout out to the band he tours with. Those people have to sound like so many different genres... And polka.

He's a genius. We all need more laughter.

One of the first games I owned on the original NES ‘88 - was final fantasy and it is my favorite game to this day.

Might wanna check out "It's All About the Pentiums" next...

You are the first reactor I have heard call out Pac Man in reactions to this song! lol

3 letters.... And 2 words ERB Issac Newton. You won't be disappointed. Weird als best performance.

He's got a pac man behind him because that's in the Ridin' Dirty video he's spoofing... he's imitating the original... for maximum enjoyment it's always a good idea to view the video he's spoofing before viewing Al's parody

"Couch Potato" is epic too in the rap department of Al's songs 😉

Gotta be real... I can't hear mayonnaise without thinking about the movie Undercover Brother.

He's a genius

Al is the King of parodies

All About the Pentiums, Living With a Hernia, and Germs (live performance)!

Weird Al Spittin Bars!

Love Weird Al!! Please do his song You Don't Love Me Anymore. It's hilarious. Great reaction!! 🙂

Need to do weird al - hardware store, Weird al also has a Christmas Song: the night santa went crazy

Klingon is a language used in the star trek series

Love the fact he got a copy of Star Wars holiday special. I never saw that until last year! (Yes it was bad, and I understand why George Lucas tried to wipe all copies of it)

foil by him is great. hell, all by him is legendary. he is, the #parodyking

Weird Al released an original song last year, GERMS. It's him performing it live in concert. It's hilarious and his performance is off the charts.
