      I still think the funniest thing Al did was UHF. The movie UHF is so underrated. That part of the movie where he asks the little boy what his name is and the kid spits in his face is hilarious. The little boy is like I'm Billy, Al says Billy then the kid just spits right in his face. Super funny. UHF is underrated like the old Keenan Wayans movies. Keenan Wayans in Hollywood Shuffle and I'm Gonna Get You Sucka are two of the most underrated movies ever made. That part in Hollywood Shuffle where he threatens to pour out Keenans Jheri Curl activator is one of the funniest scenes ever created. I'd put UHF up on the list with Hollywood Shuffle and I'm gonna Get You Sucker as some of the most underrated comedy movies ever made. Weird Al and Keenan Wayans are both highly underrated. Keenan Wayans is the funniest of all the Wayans in my opinion.

    The thing I like about Weird Al is that he never resorts to personal insult to get his funny, in fact the only time I can think of that even came close to making fun of the artist themselves was Smells like Nirvana and even that was just a good-natured ribbing about how no one understood their lyrics.
    And no matter the nature of the parity he almost always asks permission of the artist before moving ahead, that's not something that these insult scandal jockey wannabes on RUclips would ever consider doing, no they just lace their "parodies" with attention grabbing insults so they can get instant hits.
    Seriously look up almost any other parody on RUclips and try to find one that would base its parody on something as innocuous as a handyman or something completely not related to the artist....you're just not going to find that as much that takes thought and talent something Al has bags of

      I'd hardly call Homer Simpson wise, but he made a very good point that one time.

    We bandy the term national treasure about quite a bit, but if anybody alive embodies it, it's Weird Al. And he seems to never age. Never change Al!

      Oh man, thank you so much for reminding me of that song! It's been so long since I listened to that. I remember I memorized all the lyrics back when I was in middle school, even the really fast part.

      you know that vacant lot
      Right beside the gas station? Well, somebody bought it
      And on that spot they're gonna build a shop
      Where we can go buy bolts and screws
