Dude! Al's Greatest Hits Totally Syncs With Apocalypse Now!

At least according to the 11/22 episode of How I Met Your Mother.

College Ted and Marshall are enjoying "sandwiches" (If you have to ask, you'll never know). They say that Marlon Brando comes on when Eat It starts

This is the second Al reference on the show. Looks like he's got fans over there.

I can confirm that interesting synchronicities do occur when pairing various Weird Al albums with classic films. In fact, the more sandwiches you eat the more you notice that most of Al's work is essentially a meta-commentary on Hollywood and American cinema of the last 50 years. For starters, I recommend syncing up "Dare To Be Stupid" with "The Manchurian Candidate" which is obviously intentional, as was the less successful/funny pairing of "Polka Party!" with "Lawrence of Arabia."

Matt Blitz is in fact a friend of mine who works on the show. His picture was shown as the original Matt Blitz in the yearbook.

Bizarrely, Alapalooza syncs up REALLY well with, you guessed it, Herbie: Fully Loaded. Which came out twelve years later.
