Weird Al is a national treasure. The fact they made a parody movie of an artist that makes parodies of popular songs, is pure genius and perfect for a weird Al biopic.
I'm REALLY glad Daniel Radcliffe has found a niche for himself post Potter. He just seems like such a humble, down to earth person despite all that fame. That's honestly rare to see with child actors who grow up in that world. But he just seems so genuine. I hope he has a lot more success post Potter. He deserves it.
He has done a lot of things that most other actors would like think twice, that would feel like risks... but he went and embraced it and for that we got wonderful movies like Guns Akimbo, Swiss Army Man and Horns, to name a few. The minute you see his name, you just have to watch it!
Yeah, my uncle keeps insiting he will only ever be Harry Potter, no matter how many times I point out he's actually done alot of work since. He just dismisses it since he hasnt watched any of it so to him Daniel is "still just Harry Potter." Sadly there will always be peopel like him but thankfully the film industry isnt stuck in that thinking and keeps casting him in new and different roles.
I went to the Drew Barrymore show this week and Weird Al was there to talk about this project. He mentioned that the beginning is based on his life but the majority of the film isn’t. And something that I thought was interesting was that he said that he liked Daniel from the getgo because he has managed to escape the trap of child stardom, which is why he’s been able to get such a variety of different roles which is genius. He’s done Broadway, he’s done comedy, he’d done drama, he can do anything really. And that’s something Weird Al can relate to.
Anyone who can do Broadway well has my respect. You don’t get multiple takes when it’s showtime. You get only one chance to get it right when that curtain opens.
I love the scene where his dad is like "Your mom's put on weight but I find her pleasantly plump!" And she says "I'm fat." Al just kinda says "Yeah...I guess" and the parents look at each other like "Really?" Then the next song ends up being Amish Paradise.
During the Amish Paradise song when they panned over Coolio plotting angerly had me dying. I'm so happy he came around to Weird Al's parody before he died. R.I.P.
@@Wis_Dom it's implied that he's talking about modern comedies because of the "in years" statement. Would've been cool if you wanted to have an actual discussion about comedies, instead of just trying to "gotcha!" Random people on the internet based on 2 small sentences.
The fact that you know all the words to Dare to be Stupid is a thing to be celebrated. Well done sir. It's not old man energy, it's the younger generations lacking experience. The way the title is worded almost immediately makes it feel like a parody, because you'd expect it to just be "The Weird Al Yankovic Story." I'm glad they went this route because it'd feel weird in a bad way for this to be a 100% drama.
Weird al was my introduction into RUclips. When I was 6 or 7, my dad had like most of his albums when I was growing up. Specifically we would listen to dare to be stupid and straight out of Lynnwood. He always talked about the music videos back in the day on MTV but there wasn't a way to watch them that he knew of at the time. So randomly we just looked up weird al videos into Google and this website called RUclips came up and I never looked back.
His role in the Weird Al Yankovic biopic is getting a buzz at the Golden Globes and there's a possibility that Daniel Radcliffe could be nominated for a Golden Globe, tough that award will go to Colin Farrell for his performance in The Banshees of Inisherin.
FAT is the Weird Al song I memorized. "When your getting seconds, I'm getting 23rds. When I go to get my shoes shined I gotta take their word!" Lmao!!!
Favorite Weird Al memory? Oh that's easy. White and Nerdy is the first parody I heard from the guy. That and Stuck in the Drive Thru are my top favorites from him.
Favorite Weird Al memory, first time seeing him live at the Toledo Zoo, and during one song he was going through the crowd. He came over to where my wife and I were sitting and he started dancing in front of us. Good times.
I feel like Radcliffe’s work in Miracle Worker did a huge part in helping him get the part (that scene he sings she’ll be coming around the mountain dressed like dr. Frankenfurter was legendary)
Favorite Weird Al memory: was at his concert and during "one more minute" he came down into the audience and sang looking at different women as we walked... came to my wife at the lyric "I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork" and he took a fork out of his pocket and stuck it out in front of her face, couple of inches from her forehead. so i got to tell people my wife got "forked" by Weird Al
This movie sounds a lot like 'Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story'. My favourite Weird Al memory was when I took my 'Poodle Hat' CD to high school on the last day of school, and playing 'Angry White Boy Polka' to a class of non-Weird-Al fans and just seeing them lose their minds. Eminem and Limp Bizkit were super popular back then and the whole class was like "this is wrong! JUST WRONG!"
My favorite Weird Al memory was my wife taking me to see him for my birthday the year my mother died. She took me to see him when I was 5, and whether or not she liked the music, she always jammed out with me when I played it. Brought back a lot of memories. Never thought I'd tear up at a Weird Al performance, but man.
Growing up in the 80's and 90's and being a kid looking for a good time everywhere, Weird Al was very much my cup of tea, and very much of it's time. When it came out, UHF was MY movie, must've watched it a thousand times!
As an old guy who would just rather watch something on the laptop than figure out how to get it onto my tv, I can relate. However, rick-rolling is eternal and will never, ever go out of style. One of my favorite Weird Al memories was seeing him in concert in 1999, him wrapping up a great concert and leaving the stage, then coming back out and performing "The Saga Begins" as an encore. Magic.
Never a fan of Weird Al but I'm super excited to see this movie because of Daniel Radcliffe. It's refreshing to see him flex his muscles as an actor outside Harry Potter. He's very talented and deserves more different roles than just being Harry Potter
I Will get him huge credits for choosing weird, quirky scripts and projects. He could just sit back and do conventional movies - but he jumps into insane stuff 👍🏻
@@LightningRaven42 And his ongoing time with the tv show Miracle Workers, which more or less covers a different media genre each season. His acting ability is far reaching and quite impressive considering the usual fate of the majority of beloved child actors.
High school, on the bus back from a field trip. My friend and I were singing American Pie as loud as we could, but we both kept lapsing into The Saga Begins. The third or fourth time it happened, we just switched and started singing that instead.
Al mentioned that there are bits and pieces of truth in the biopic parody. He mentioned specifically in an interview that the door accordion salesman actually did happen and that’s how he got his first one. So there’s bits and pieces of the real story in there. Favorite Al memory. He came to our county fair in peak summer conditions that were like 110 degrees and he dressed in all of his outfits including his blow up suit and knocked it out of the park. He is committed to the craft.
I knew it was a parody of the genre as soon as the second trailer showed his parents condemning his dream to be a musician. Most fans can tell you that he had a very loving and supportive family. I was cracking up the whole movie. Love what they did with it.
But the real question is does the movie contain allen wrenches, gerbil feeders, toilet seats, electric heaters, trash compactors, juice extractors, shower rods, and/or water meters?
I got a weird Al memory for ya. AL used to have his own Saturday Morning TV show called the Weird Al Show. And he kept getting these notes about Imitatable Behavior. Where if it’s something a kid can do at home and is slightly dangerous. They couldn’t do it so his humor was often compromised. To the point it drove him nut. Fast forward years later. I meet him at a con and he’s signing my UHF DVD, and I say to him sooooo was there any issues with Imitatable Behavior with this project? And he immediatly stops signing, looks up at me, and you can see all the PTSD in his eyes. And he goes OH MY GOD! And he buries his face in his hands and then tells me. They were trying to get that little old Italian lady from the wedding singer, but the network (CBS) thought she was too “Ethnic” 🤣
Didn’t have a clue who Weird Al was before this movie, still really don’t. But this joint was fire. I thought it was just a parody of all musicians at first til I looked it up and saw he’s a real person. Everything landed in this film for me…
As much as i love Weird Al, a real biopic of his life might not be that intresting, he's not a rock-star that did loads of drugs and alcohol, he's a Christian that makes family friendly(no rude words) parody songs. So it really makes sense to make his biopic a parody.
I was in Las Vegas one time and saw Weird Al Yankovic in the lobby of the MGM Grand Hotel. They used to have a recreation of a scene from The Wizard of Oz complete with life size wax statues and Al was there taking pictures of it. He looked just like he does on TV, complete with the Hawaiian shirt!
My favorite subtle dig at every musician biopic is that it is so painfully obvious that it isn't Daniel Radcliffe singing. It's a completely different voice. And that's hilarious
I love Weird Al, but have to admit this movie wasn’t very good. Not terrible, just not terribly funny. Great premise, just not great execution comedy-wise. The humor was kinda bland and predictable. I’ll stick with UHF.
I think watching this with my wife was almost funnier than the actual movie, which just shows how brilliant Weird Al truly is. Every 15 minutes my wife was falling for the joke. "Wait, he dated Madonna? Did Eat It really come out first? He's DEAD?!?" I'm still dying...
This is one of my favorite movies of 2022. Such an unexpectedly hilariously awesome movie. I was never a big weird Al fan, but this movie converted me. Daniel Radcliffe also did a fantastic job!
My favourite Weird Al memory is Weird Al voicing Dollmaker in the animated movie Batman vs Robin. If y'all haven't seen that shit, fire up a clip of it on YT. Second place is Al voicing Wreck-Gar in TF Animated. "I AM WRECK-GAR! I DARE TO BE STUPID."
My comment is only about the first 25 seconds of the video. Jeremy… buy a Roku TV. They’re more affordable than ever. They’re great. 2008 was great! But it was 14 years ago… Upgrade. You’ve earned it!
Loved this movie. What better biopic for the parody king than a modern day parody movie. But do know, thisis a Biopic. There's so many things about his life hidden in the parody. I first discovered Wierd Al because i was a huge michael jackson fan. My cousin was president of jackson's first fan club , and as an eight year old kid, i felt wierd all made a version of his music for me.
It's 100% a comedy, that oddly has almost no jokes. It's all played pretty straight, which is kinda crazy, since I was laughing all the way through. It's not a parody of Weird Al's life, rather a parody of popstar biopics, and the self aggrandizement that's played perfectly by Radcliff, but also very very subtly by Weird Al himself. It's both a silly and childlike premise, and a shockingly complex and layered piece of fiction. It feels like Weird Al was playing a fictionalized version of himself, while writing it. 🤯good take. I agree with you. Good time.
Here’s what the world really needs…. A Rodney Dangerfield, “biopic”, as told by Rodney Dangerfield, via his many many sketches about his family and upbringing. It would totally be a wild series of embellishments, told by an unreliable translator, but also stuffed with truth. Let’s. Make. This. Happen.
I learned so much from this movie. I never knew that Weird Al killed Pablo Escobar, allowing Madonna to take control of an international drug cartel. I also never knew that Michael Jackson ripped off Eat it when he parodied it with his song "Beat it".... loser.
This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. I burst out laughing at least 15 times. It never takes itself seriously, just stupid over the top layers of parody like a runaway snowball rolling down hill. Radcliffe was fantastic, as usual, and continues to flex his comedic chops.
I agree someday I do hope to see an actual biopic about Weird Al's life just to learn more about him. Maybe someday in the distant future seen as Weird Al's career is not even close being over. Regardless this was such a fun watch and like you said as a Weird Al you do pick up on where certain scenes are going which may be lost on those unfamiliar with his music. It's so hard to pick a favorite Weird Al memory. I guess just discovering his music in high school and being like "man this is amazing".
Yeah, I wonder how non Al fans are gonna take this. But as a long time fan I got a lot of the jokes. I even wonder how many In-jokes there are that went by me. I saw the Funny or Die trailer, and they did keep so much of it, which is even funnier. Loved the cameos too. Great film. Hope non al fans get an annotated version.
I was one of the lucky few who got to see Weird in a proper theater before it got to streaming. Loved it, especially being in a room full of Weird Al fans all getting the jokes at (roughly) the same moment. And the cameos were *chef's kiss* brilliant!
Your age showed with the Roku. Rick Rolling has transcended time fortunately for the youth of today. It's not as common nowadays but the fact that it still happens is a testament to its timelessness.
Weird Al is a national treasure. The fact they made a parody movie of an artist that makes parodies of popular songs, is pure genius and perfect for a weird Al biopic.
How could a weird Al bio not be a parody of bio pics?
@Cool b jay He approached all of the artists personally for permission.
Tho, still not sure I forgive him for "I Lost On Jeopardy".

Daniel Radcliffe isn't the first actor you'd think of to play Weird Al, the King of parody, but he absolutely slayed this role, in my opinion! 👑😍
@Don't read profile photo Reported your pathetic bot ass
@Don't read profile photo I didn't and won't
I think that was the point. He looks and sounds nothing like Al so it just makes it funnier.
Daniel Radcliffe is the first actor I'd think of to play Weird Al
i can see why Al personally picked him

Anyone who can do Broadway well has my respect. You don’t get multiple takes when it’s showtime. You get only one chance to get it right when that curtain opens.
Also Radcliffe memorized the periodic elements and recited them on a talk show. Weird Al saw that and thought they were kindred people.
This movie was so bizarre. A parody of a biopic co-written by Weird Al himself. I want to rewatch it as a double feature with UHF
UHF is a GEM the first of the bunch!!

Rick rolling is timeless Jeremy. Don't worry, the only thing that you told us is that you're as immortal as Rick Astley himself.
Of course the Weird Al Yankovic movie is a parody of biopics. That’s too perfect. I wish it could’ve gotten a proper theatrical run
Favorite Weird Al memory - the beef Coolio had with him because of a misunderstanding over Gangsta's Paradise.
Luckily they made up before Coolio died. I guess he figured out that he got paid every time somebody bought Amish Paradise!
There was an article where the director promised he did no research at all on Weird Al's life, which is very appropriate for the brand.
Favorite Weird Al memory? Oh that's easy.
White and Nerdy is the first parody I heard from the guy. That and Stuck in the Drive Thru are my top favorites from him.

The Carrie reference at the end was great. My Dad and I were laughing pretty hard at that one
I feel like Radcliffe’s work in Miracle Worker did a huge part in helping him get the part (that scene he sings she’ll be coming around the mountain dressed like dr. Frankenfurter was legendary)

My comment is only about the first 25 seconds of the video.
Jeremy… buy a Roku TV. They’re more affordable than ever. They’re great. 2008 was great! But it was 14 years ago…
Upgrade. You’ve earned it!
Possibly first, yay

Obligatory mean comment response to you possibly being first
Funny enough, this isn't even the first Weird Al bio pic parody. Anybody remember "The Complete Al" movie from the 80's?
Loved this movie. What better biopic for the parody king than a modern day parody movie. But do know, thisis a Biopic. There's so many things about his life hidden in the parody. I first discovered Wierd Al because i was a huge michael jackson fan. My cousin was president of jackson's first fan club , and as an eight year old kid, i felt wierd all made a version of his music for me.
This movie was absolutely terrible. Not funny at all really one of the worst movies I have seen in a while and I love weird Al. Such a let down
Thanks for watching the leaving a comment 😊... contact me on telegram, you've been shortlisted 🎁🎊🎁
I don’t know that there’s really anybody else that can really parody a biopic. He’s the perfect person to do it.
It's 100% a comedy, that oddly has almost no jokes. It's all played pretty straight, which is kinda crazy, since I was laughing all the way through.
It's not a parody of Weird Al's life, rather a parody of popstar biopics, and the self aggrandizement that's played perfectly by Radcliff, but also very very subtly by Weird Al himself. It's both a silly and childlike premise, and a shockingly complex and layered piece of fiction. It feels like Weird Al was playing a fictionalized version of himself, while writing it. 🤯good take. I agree with you. Good time.
Here’s what the world really needs…. A Rodney Dangerfield, “biopic”, as told by Rodney Dangerfield, via his many many sketches about his family and upbringing. It would totally be a wild series of embellishments, told by an unreliable translator, but also stuffed with truth.
Let’s. Make. This. Happen.
this was the most Weird Al thing EVER made, it was hilarious. if this gets put on DVD, i'm buying it
Favorite Weird Al memory: singing along with my (then) girlfriend to "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" while stuck in a drive-thru line for 20 minutes.
I learned so much from this movie. I never knew that Weird Al killed Pablo Escobar, allowing Madonna to take control of an international drug cartel. I also never knew that Michael Jackson ripped off Eat it when he parodied it with his song "Beat it".... loser.
"You better squeeze all the Charmin you can,when Mr. Wiffle's not around/Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan"
This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. I burst out laughing at least 15 times. It never takes itself seriously, just stupid over the top layers of parody like a runaway snowball rolling down hill. Radcliffe was fantastic, as usual, and continues to flex his comedic chops.
this movie had me cracking up its been a long fucking time since I enjoyed a new movie
I agree someday I do hope to see an actual biopic about Weird Al's life just to learn more about him. Maybe someday in the distant future seen as Weird Al's career is not even close being over. Regardless this was such a fun watch and like you said as a Weird Al you do pick up on where certain scenes are going which may be lost on those unfamiliar with his music. It's so hard to pick a favorite Weird Al memory. I guess just discovering his music in high school and being like "man this is amazing".
I have not 1, not 2... Not 3, but 4 Weird Al albums. My wife doesn't get it. Mans a genius.
this movie is simply Al’s parody of his life, and/or a tribute to the Mad and Cracked magazines he grew up reading.
Yeah, I wonder how non Al fans are gonna take this. But as a long time fan I got a lot of the jokes. I even wonder how many In-jokes there are that went by me. I saw the Funny or Die trailer, and they did keep so much of it, which is even funnier. Loved the cameos too. Great film. Hope non al fans get an annotated version.
I was one of the lucky few who got to see Weird in a proper theater before it got to streaming. Loved it, especially being in a room full of Weird Al fans all getting the jokes at (roughly) the same moment. And the cameos were *chef's kiss* brilliant!
I would love Al to make a parody of Bring Me To Life from Evanescence.
still waiting for your bioshock infinite spoiler review ( day 184)
My first Weird AL videos I watched as a kid were Eat it and FAT.
Contact me for your reward ❤️🎁❤️
It's appropriate that a man who made a name for himself parodying songs made a biopic that parodies his own life.
My PC is always hookedup to my TV. It is the most comprehensive entertainment system.
This movie did feel so much like Man on the Moon. Very Kaufmanesque.
"Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story"
That was also great.
RIP weird al you are missed
Your age showed with the Roku. Rick Rolling has transcended time fortunately for the youth of today. It's not as common nowadays but the fact that it still happens is a testament to its timelessness.
Bro I'm sorry I've been away for a few years but when did Keanu Reeves take over this channel???
Lol! He stopped getting haircuts during Covid lockdown and apparently liked the look so he's been like this ever since!
@@PlumbPitiful I'm a fan 😆
Jeremy casually becoming Johnny Silverhand at 2:56
I realize this was a parody just by looking at the poster. Seems like something he would do
I know the lyrics to dare to be stupid becouse of the transformers animated movie.
