 Year Later And I'm Still Laughing August 8, 2006

I bought this a good while ago and my daughter and grandkids (who are too young to remember much of the 80's) still watch and laugh. The best part is that it's something everyone can agree on to watch together! The grandskids looked up the original videos on YouTube and found some of them sadly lacking in comparison to the Weird Al versions. The whole family has been having a great time remembering our old favorites like "Take On Me" by Aha and "Don't ComeAround Here No Mre" by Tom Petty and watching them online. The kids wish they made "good videos" like that today. LOLOL!
Buy this! Have your self a good laugh or two and take a walk down memory lane. If you haven't seen these in a while, you've forgotten how good they were.
"Weird Al" Yankovic: The Videos September 10, 2003

HEY! If you're considering paying $100 for this DVD, DON'T DO IT! The videos are certainly worth watching, but by November 2003 apparently there will be a new collection. One that will be digitally remastered and everything! So, just hold off until the Christmas season to watch all of the video genius of Al. Check out the official site for the details under "Ask Al" for Sept 2nd.

This is actually very cool. I am a huge "Weird Al" Yankovic fan, and I really think this is awesome. Of course it is only 74 minutes long (it would have been cool if they had stuck The Complete Al on here, too. I got this for fairly cheap when it came out, but if you don't want to pay the barbaric price for this disc, you can buy the individual tapes or, if they come on on VH1, tape that. The dvd isn't completely horrible. I've see all the behind the musics, so I don't need supplement. It would be cool if they could fit this, The Compleat Al, and "Weird Al" Live on one disc (probably double sided). But lets not complain about what we don't have. Lets feel happy for what we do have. You would have to look individuall for the following tapes The Weird Al Video Library, Bad Hair Day, and Alapalooza. Think about the space three video tapes take up compared to one dvd and it's case. It's uncomparable. Think of the quality. While some off the early ones may be very dull (Jeopardy), some of the newer ones go to lengths vhs could only dream of (Gump). The 2 interruptions. Self explanatory. Think of the wear and tear. For a guy like me who has literally seen this disc hundreds of times, it helps having dvd. Plus, the disc is easy to get to your desired song (without fast-forewarding or possibly switching tapes). Plus it just starts with Ricky. No commercials, no advertisements, nothing. Yes, it could be better. But I'm fine. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a hepful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!

Not only does Weird Al make an effort to sound like the originals, he makes an effort to look like the originals right down to their mannerisms. His attention to detail is uncanny.
Added to that, you also get to see some of his more original pieces.Weird Al is truly the parody king.
