So, they've posted the entire special 3 hours before it airs, essentially..........huh?

If thats the case, why don't they put up the videos after the special has aired?

I was kind of wondering that too, they could have also uploaded them just before it airs.

In what conceivable way is it bad that there are live Weird Al videos available online??


Here's a review from The AV Club, usually very sympathetic to Al, giving the special a C.

I never said it was bad, it's actually very good for people who won't be able to see it or for us who don't have cable. It's just a little weird how they were just randomly uploaded...

Here's the back cover of the DVD (the Blu-ray looks identical, but with the Blu-ray logo instead of the DVD logo at the bottom).

Here is the setlist that Comedy Central Aired. They actually showed most of the songs from the DVD, but they changed the order around which is weird:

01. Polka Face!
02. TMZ
03. Smells Like Nirvana
04. Party In The CIA
05. CNR
06. Let Met Be Your Hog
07. Canadian Idiot
08. Skipper Dan
09. Amish Paradise
10. Perform This Way
11. White & Nerdy
12. Fat

they didn't show Wanna B Ur Lovr, The Medley, Craigslist, The Saga Begins, and Yoda

Kudos to Comedy Central! I just watched the first airing and there were NO banner popup ads (except for the one at the very end for the DVD). YAY!

Excellent choice of songs. Even excellent placement of commercials -- I switched over to the Wisconsin/Nebraska game in time to see 2 Wisconsin touchdowns.

Looking forward to the complete show on Tuesday and hoping for some more audience shots.

For those who already have the DVD and/or Blu-Ray, what YT videos are on there and what is the "other cool junk"?
