MY GOD! That is so awesome! I don't usually dance while sitting in front of my PC but that did it.

I love Weird Al so much. This video is even better than "It's all about the Pentiums"!

That guy is the only reason to watch music videos anymore.

That was so freaking awesome.

I don't think any of us here are nerdy enough to actually pay money for the SW Holiday special though.

Hehe, that's genius!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I count 3 SW references (action figures on shelf, dual-sided lightsaber, holiday special tape).

I loved the Holiday Special part!

The 2 sided lightsaber was an allusion to the famous Star Wars Kid, of course. Doesn't get any nerdier than that.

ROTFLOL, as the video put it.

Most frightening how much of that actually applies...

I'm in the process of memorizing the song right now!

A friend of mine was asking me about this song last night at dinner. How appropriate that I see that video on YouTube now. This song is awesome. I can't wait for the full album!

He kind of scares me. He's in Transformers: The Movie, for those who care, the guiltiest of guilty pleasures. I didn't know that it was possible to have that much fun.

That video rocked. Er, well, it didn't really rock, it was more like a white suburbia rap anthem. Damn hilarious though. Much better than "Don't Download This Song".

Is this song a parody of another song? I didn't recognize it.

Edit: Found it. It's a parody of Ridin' Dirty by Chamillionare. I think Al did a great job of making fun of the guy dancing behind him the whole time. The guy in the original video kinda dances like a fag.

Hah, that's awesome. He has Donny Osmond dancing behind him. Uhg, I'm worried that I look too much like Weird Al in his nerdy gettup.

Did anyone notice who the guy standing next to the action figures was? It's Seth Green from Robot Chicken.

Hehe, yeah, I did notice that. The only problem is, I can't decipher that particular line. Can somebody help me out?

That's what I thought he said. But what does that mean?

That was hilarious.

But I'm not sure if I found it funny because it makes fun of white nerds or because I am a white nerd...

Cherry is just another term for mint condition. Cherry is usually used to refer to cars that are in excellent condition.

Thanks! The more you know... because I had no idea.

But speaking of lines, I have a couple more I couldn't figure out exactly what he was saying, and maybe it's because of my lack of knowledge in the areas. "My My Space page is totally pimped out. Blank." I don't know what that line is. And then, "...took Calculus just for a fun. Blank." Yeah, I know, I suck. But if anybody knows these lines, could you help me out again?

That "Cherry" line is one of the problems of the vid, if they were cherry, they'd be in the package... Why's he playing the turntables when talking about an MC? and why is the pac-man not yellow? Anyone know what those formulas are? and posting "you suck" to wikipedia is a sign he's no nerd.

"My MySpace page is totally pimp'd out
Got people begging for my top 8 spaces"
(like post count here at the OT.com, MySpace must have something similar so your top 8 "friends" get their picture on your page)

"...took calculus just for fun,
ain't got a gat but i've got a soldering gun"
(gat is a slang term for gun, and a soldering gun is used for making circuit boards for electronics)

Anyone have a scan of that Holiday Special Cover...
