I watched that on TV as a kid, waited all week, made sure my parents and older sisters all knew I was watching it on that day. Then everyone bitched and moaned the whole way through. I saw it a year or two ago somewhere online now as an adult and know why now. Jesus.
1)The bootleg VHS was The infamous Star Wars Holiday special 2)Klingons are one of the main alien races in Star Trek and they speak Klingon, obviously 3)MC Escher is the guy who's most famous for drawing the never ending staircase picture 4)Everyone I've seen who has reacted to this failed to even comment on Donny Osmond or the flares on the ground made to look like the Pac-Man logo 5)This is perfect because I'm actually wearing my White and Nerdy hoodie right now.
I'm only 25 and I got most of it. I didn't get the klingon part, I just assumed it was similar to Javascript. I just learned in the comments what it is lol. And I don't know the characters from star wars, but I put 2 and 2 together when I saw the pictures in the video. I liked how he compared bootlegs and streaming nowadays. I never put that together, but I remember our family would get a lot at the flea market in West Palm Beach.
"Knowledge is cool." As the class nerd growing up in the 80s, mercilessly ridiculed, endlessly bullied, and even beaten twice, you don't know how happy that makes me to hear.
I don't think anyone actually thinks knowledge is unhip unless they're anti-intellectual. It's not the knowledge itself that's nerdy, but pointless knowledge, especially an overemphasis on pointless knowledge. The obsession of it is what makes it nerdy. Like just about everyone doesn't mind watching a Star Wars movie every once in a rare while, but it's when you become a Star Wars fan, attend conventions, etc, that it becomes nerdy. Same thing with stuff that is designed to be cool like metal music. Danzig is a pretty cool band, but toss in a Danzig convention and a whole bunch of metal nerds will attend, thus having made metal nerdy.
I feel like you’re not nerdy enough to get some of these references, lol. I’m not sure if you got the Kirk or Picard reference or not, but they were both captains of the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek, played by William Shatner and Patrick Stewart respectively, and Kirk v. Picard is a stereotypical nerd debate. Other people have explained the Star Wars special and Klingon, and JavaScript is a computer coding language.
As a nerd, I appreciate the new respect we get. I got very little respect in school back then, but people seem to have belatedly realized that nerds can solve a lot of problems and help people.
If I recall correctly, Star Wars Holiday Special was only aired once and the only way you could get it was through bootlegging. Also, Klingon is a language/race from Star Trek, as well as Capts Kirk and Pickard.
Yep only aired once and the only copies that exist are those who actually recorded it and reproduced it. I saw it, bootlegged, and I'm alright with that :3
Speaking of Star Wars, the reference to the 'Star Wars Kid' @ 4:08, ruclips.net/video/HPPj6viIBmU/видео.html still cracks me up, it don't get any whiter!
Donny and his sister had a Star Wars tribute episode in '78. Very bad, almost makes the Holiday Special legit. :) (Historical editorial: The Osmonds were the not cool answer to The Partridge Family. Both were white versions of The Jackson 5. In the Jackson 5, the cute littlest kid was Michael Jackson. In the Osmonds, it was Donny. Lets see a dance-off between Donny & MJ, that'll show who the white & nerdy one is... lol...)
I knew about klingons, Spock, Kirk and Picard long before I ever actually SAW Star Trek for the first time. As with many other things, I know of it simply from having heard/seen it referenced so many times. Same goes for things like The Walking Dead, Charlie Chaplin and D&D. Never seen/played it, but I still know what it is and some basic things about it from how famous it is.
At 6:15 he bought Star Wars "Holiday Special" which was aired on TV and was modified version of original Star Wars and it had also implemented parts with Bobba Feet. And it was only on VHS and actually Lucas payed that they pulled it off sale and destroy all copies. It is almost impossible to get one today. If get it at all.
The Star Wars Holiday Special was iirc never published and amazingly hard to get a hold of, which is why he had to bootleg. It is most likely THE most "Nerdy" item you could want as a collector.
Age of the geek baby! I think it's awesome that things that were "weird" and "nerdy" when I was young have become mainstream. Weird Al never fails to crack me up.
Al is the best all time Billy. Absolute GOAT. Every song he does is fantastic. There's a reason that most HUGE acts let him do parodies of their videos. He's a great musician and a fabulous writer. I certainly encourage you to check out more from him. I'd offer a suggestion, but they're all gold. You literally can't go wrong. Just close your eyes and pick one.
If you want to get into Weird Al, start with his television debut: "Another One Rides the Bus" from Tom Snyder's show. ruclips.net/video/tZkouut-9RQ/видео.html - April 21, 1981 Or perhaps you can find some recordings of him on the Doctor Demento show before this. But since Doctor Demento was only on AM radio, they would be sound recordings.
The director of Star Wars, George Lucas, declared the Star Wars Holiday Special to be so extremely bad that he ran around frantically buying up all the copies he could and destroying them. Therefore, it is an unusual triumph to get a VHS copy of that tv show.
I have seen him in concert seven times. I've been listening to him for over 40 years. That's right, he's been around that long and has hundreds of parodies and polkas.
OMG! THAT WAS REALLY GOOD! Do you remember when he did EAT IT (Michael Jackson) and when he did AMISH PARADISE (Coolio)? My suster got tickets to see Weird Al and we were standing in line to get inside. She saud to me, "Why are all these guys wearing Hawaiian shirts, look at them." As soon as she said that it dawned on us that it was Weird Al's signature style. We were laughing and laughing. Weird Al came up to our seats, but he moved around all over the place. It was a good concert. Funny.
Klingon is not a race, it is a language spoken by Spock and his race, which I do not remember what their race is called at the moment, but it is sure not Klingon
@@XCross64 Nerd question: Does Spock actually speak English though? Or does the Universal Translator on the ship just make it seem that way? :) Babel Fish > Universal Translator. Prove me wrong. :):)
Weird Al deserves a lot of res. Not only for his creativity and rewriting those songs but also for spitting bars like a pro. The guy can rap better than many hip hop artists/mumble rappers these days.
MC Escher was an amazing surrealist artist. Your reaction to this makes me feel ancient because there were so many things you didn’t know what they were and it’s crazy how much has changed. lol
Shoutout to Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele at the beginning of the video,and Seth Green (Chris Griffin) wit the sweet anime/action figure collection
Do you know who is dancing in the background? That's Donny Osmond, star of the ancient tv show "The Donny and Marie Show" Did you know that Donny Osmond once tried to change his soft spoken, quiet, love song singing image by releasing a tough guy sounding song? The song name is "Soldier of Love" For a laugh, why not react to "Soldier of Love" ??
You caught Key & Peele. The redhead with the cherry action figures is Seth Green. Dr. Evil's son in Austin Powers, Oz the werewolf in Buffy, and genius creator of Robot Chicken. That's Donny Osmond dancing his azz off behind Weird Al. He's a 70's bubblegum pop star with his family band and tv show. The lady with the surge protector is Judy Tenuta. Weird Al's real life friend. She was a stand-up comedian with an accordian and an attitude. Does anybody know who all the "gangstas" in this are? Googled but couldn't find answers.
Now if we can only get people to know the difference between being a nerd and being a geek. "Nerd" deals with academics, while a "geek" deals with hobbies.
If you notice the guy in the background dancing bad(thank goodness he does know how to dance). That is 70s pop idol Donny Osmond. It’s been around for over 50 years. He just ended VEGAS residency with his sister, Marie last week. If you have seen the Masked Singer. He was also the Peacock. He was runner up on the show.
Other than Key and Peel, Donnie Osman (dancing maniac), Seth Green(action figure enthusiast), Judy Tanuda(musical comedian), and apparently a rapper I don't onow(park bench).
Do you like William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk from “Star Trek: The Original Series” or do you like Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard from “Star Trek: The Next Generation”?
Funny how you said that we have advanced from "Nerdy" been "insult" from the past but all the references inserted in the video will fly past you if you weren't or a real nerd. Hey, even if you insulted nerds they have conquered the world, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Elon Musk.
I remember those days when you had to keep your nerdiness a secret. I knew no one else who shared my nerdiness interests until at least college. I tried to convince my high school English teacher to consider including science fiction into the curriculum. It didn't work. There was no Star Wars yet. Comic book stores didn't exist yet or there were very few. There were no personal computers and calculators were just coming on the general market. In college I met guys that built electronic circuits for fun (hence the soldering gun). Oh, yeah, we watched Monty Python all the time and could recite all the skits, and when we got Mine Sweeper, I probably played for 6 months straight. First fanny packs were cool but then they became uncool, only nerds kept wearing them. If you wore pocket protectors you were a nerd. A/V club was the predecessor of the Computer Club, and Glee Club, in high school at least, meant singing music no one else wanted to listen to. The Drama club was actually cool, though. And I knew people later who went to Renaissance Fairs every week.
Yikes, your reaction made me realize how old I am! I’m glad that things have changed so much. I have a 17 year old niece and I would hate it if she lived in a world where being unusual and intelligent is bad. That being said, I think you missed the vast majority of the references, understandably. They are dated.
Good video, made me wanna subscribe. I'll also check your other channel if i can find it. Just wanted to mention that 1, weird al's last name that i can never spell is pronounced like it ends in a K. 2, Kirk was the captain of the original STAR TREK from the 60s, Picard was the captain of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, which ran 1987-94. I prefer Picard and TNG, but i went to high school in the 90s, which is plenty explanation for me and fighting words to some. 3, you might enjoy a lot of his music, but i recommend HARDWARE STORE AMISH PARADISE They're fun, I'm sure other people will recommend more.

Even a non-Star Trek fan surely has heard of Klingons, Kirk, and Picard...
Weird Al Word Crimes
Donny Osmond is my favorite thing about the video. Honestly, he's just having way too much fun 😂
Yikes, your reaction made me realize how old I am! I’m glad that things have changed so much. I have a 17 year old niece and I would hate it if she lived in a world where being unusual and intelligent is bad.
That being said, I think you missed the vast majority of the references, understandably. They are dated.
Good video, made me wanna subscribe. I'll also check your other channel if i can find it.
Just wanted to mention that
1, weird al's last name that i can never spell is pronounced like it ends in a K.
2, Kirk was the captain of the original STAR TREK from the 60s, Picard was the captain of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, which ran 1987-94. I prefer Picard and TNG, but i went to high school in the 90s, which is plenty explanation for me and fighting words to some.
3, you might enjoy a lot of his music, but i recommend
HARDWARE STORE
AMISH PARADISE
They're fun, I'm sure other people will recommend more.
BTW, it's pronounced Yankovik, not Yankovich. Not a big thing, just wanted to mention.
capttheo1 no he said it right. weird al is slav, and we as slavs read the -vić in the name like "vich"
@@river114 that may be but Weird Al himself pronounces it with a hard K.
Apparently you didn't recognize Donny Osmond dancing in the background - with the black jacket....

Pretty funny. Behind Weird Al at one point dancing was Donnie Osmond.
Donny Osmond is the guy dancing behind him. He and his brothers were teen heart throbs.

Donnie Osmond was killing it in this video! Hilarious! 🤣
He didn't know what Klingon was so for sure he wouldn't know that Donny Osmond was in this video
I love the way he locks the door on a convertible!
3:42 Don't forget to pause that frame; the trivia questions on that card are absolute gold. Questions include: "What's the deal with Lindsay Lohan? I mean, seriously?" for entertainment and "FDR: Was he faking it?" for history.
Is that Donny Osmond dancing in the background?
