World of Weird Al Yankovic

I definitely disagree with those rankings. In 3-D and Alapalooza are ranked way too high, and Running With Scissors is far too low. And choosing a new label after your old one goes out of business hardly qualifies as bailing.

Okay guys it's an Internet list.

Did anyone see the special on IFC? I thought it was pretty cool.

What special? Anyway, if it's on IFC, I'd be unable to see it because of location.

Yeah, that list does suck. What a poor pathetic excuse for a human being!! Okay, he may have ranked Dare To Be Stupid and Even Worse in the right area. I guess what makes us want to care about how he ranked them is how it was titled leading you to believe this guy knows his stuff. When really, he does not.

Just watched the special tonight. Very fun, but don't know how up I'd be for watching it again.

I have watched it twice, and found it enjoyable both times!

I finally watched it today. Except for Weird Al and Tenacious D, I think they weren't far off when they said they basically inducted anyone who replied to their emails. It was a very watered down version of a real Comedy Music Hall Of Fame.

I have no idea how you can do a special on comedy music and not even mention Dr. Demento. Also, if you're going to get guests to do commentary (or collaborations with other comedy musicians), I would expect it to include at least a few along the lines of The Arrogant Worms, Throwing Toasters, or Luke Ski. It was a nice surprise to see Whitney Avalon though . And Rob Paravonnian. The medley of hits at the beginning was good, but missed a lot that should have been included.

Oh well, it was good for what I was expecting.

None of those other people were inducted into the "Hall of Fame". They were just featured as a showcase of up and coming comedy musicians. The only inductees were Al and Tenacious D. More to the point, there is no hall of fame. The special was really just meant to showcase some favorite College Humor artists, and to show off the Foil video which they produced.

Well, I did like seeing Trevor Moore and Rachel Bloom being interviewed. Besides Al, those are the only other two artists whose work I'mean a fan of.
