WakenPayne Now He Is Not My Favorite Spoof Artist...My Favorite Is A Bit Of A Change...Kevin Bloody Wilson (Ad In Review: Kev For Prez). I Enjoy Most Of The Songs On This DVD The Only One's That I Hate Are "Its All About The Pentiums", "Bedrock Anthem", "Headline News", "I Lost On Jeopardy", "This Is The Life" & "Living With A Hernia" Every Other Song I Like So Thats 6/24 Songs That Are Bad. When I First Saw "Smells Like Teen Spirit"...You'll Never Believe This...But...I Was A Die-Hard Fan Of Nirvana...I Was & Am Not The Kind Of Guy That Reacts To A Spoof Or A Remake Of A Song Or Movie That Had A Dead Guy In It Like "Oh Hey You Insulted Him" But That Can Be Understandable If Its A Bad Spoof Or Remake But This Was Not A Bad Spoof In Fact Besides Those 6 None Of Them Are Bad Spoofs. All In All A Great Video DVD.Best Song: Jerry SpringerBest Music Video: Smells Like Nirvana(How Similar It Is To The Original Is Uncanny)
David Mac This 24 video collection is a must for Al fans old and new. The classics are here, such as "Eat It" (parody of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson) and "Fat" (both Grammy award winning videos), plus hilarious videos such as "Amish Paradise" (a parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio), "Smells Like Nirvana", "You Don't Love Me Anymore", "Bedrock Anthem", "Jurassic Park", "Bob", "The Saga Begins", plus many more! Al proves his talent for musical comedy is unsurpassed, performing, with the aid of his incredible band, a side-splitting series of musical parodies that show just how multi-talented he is as a vocalist, songwriter, performer and video director. This is a video collection guaranteed to make you smile, in a time when most people need a good laugh.Special features include clips from "The Weird Al Show", a rare 1981 performance from "The Tomorrow Show", a cool photo gallery, on screen lyrics and an Easter Egg found by using the up arrow in the Extras section! Do yourself a favor! - Buy this ultimate video collection and party "like it's 1699!" :-)
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews Since Al hadn't made the last of his videos by '96, it made sense to release this, an updated compilation music video DVD, and this time, they put some special features on, as well. Two of these are more things you can watch... a live performance of Another One Rides The Bus on something called The Tomorrow Show, from 1981, where Al has the music side(in addition to himself on the accordion) helped by his partner, Jon Schwartz playing, among other things, a piece of luggage(it'll make sense when you see it... no, seriously, it will), and some select clips of The Weird Al Show(which are amusing and very "Al"), including the intro(which is really good). In total, these come to about eight minutes, bringing the full running time of this DVD up to one hour and about 33 minutes. Also featured is a photo gallery with production stills of the various videos. Lastly, there are subtitles for all of the viewable material(lyrics whenever something is sung), and while these may not get everything right(I can't for sure tell if they do or not), they're good to have and a great help for following the songs(and hey, if you don't like them, they can be turned off, ah, the wonder of the medium of DVD). Of course, there are also the three new videos from the master of absurd comedy and parody-making; Bob, which will have you marveled at how many palindromes Al could find and make work(to spoof the incomprehensible singing of Bob Dylan), It's All About The Pentiums, Baby(featuring Drew Carey, no less, presumably due to being connected to sitting in a cubicle), which is a rather skillful re-writing of It's All About The *Benjamins*, Baby, to make P. Diddy's song be about computers rather than making money, and finally, The Saga Begins, which retells the story of Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, in a fairly straight-forward manner. The flow of the videos isn't bad. The menus are set up well, and it's easy to find your way around, though the video selection could perhaps be better, it's too easy get lost in. All in all, definitely worth owning for any fan of Weird Al. If it's this or 'Weird Al Yankovic: The Videos, for the same price, I'd advise you to choose this. I recommend this to any fan of Weird Al Yankovic and/or parody songs/videos. 8/10
ShrunkenHeadonKnightBus This dvd is a must for any Weird Al fan! All of his video's from "Ricky" to "It's All About the Pentiums", and even a new video for "Bob". The Picture and Sound are excellent! Special features include a performance of "Another One Rides the Bus" on "The Tomorrow Show", and clips from "The Weird Al Show". 10/10
