World of Weird Al Yankovic

There's never been at the very least, a direct Al reference. But a riff that always cracks me up is in Time Chasers, where during the revolutionary war scene, a man with a beard watches the battle. To which Servo quips:



"Dr. Demento, patriot"



:biggrin:

QUOTE \"Dr. Demento, patriot\"



:biggrin:



Ugh! Stupid me! I forgot that! I even meant to post about that here after seeing the episode!!



ARGH!

"Dr. Demento, patriot"
:

Hilarious line in one of my all-time favorite episodes (that guy did look quite a bit like The Good Doctor, didn't he?)



To their credit, MST made countless references to Allan Sherman and Spike Jones. Not QUITE the same as Al, but pretty close.

Servo, the future looks like your room.

Well, I believe I found the only direct reference to Al in relation to MST3K, in Mike Nelson's book, "Mike Nelson's Movie Mega Cheese" on page 231. Some may see this as a backhanded diss, but I see it as a good compliment:


"...It's even kind of fun to have the lovable dopes around. I'm talking about your..."Weird Al" Yankovics."

Yeah, Al's a lovable dope :biggrin:


(Note: The ... aren't hiding any insulting lines, those just represent other lovable dopes he mentioned)

*tries to think of another connection to discuss*

Uh...Al has done MiSTings of music videos on AL-TV...

I don't think it was meant as an insult, either. Out of all the people in the world (besides us, of course), Mike Nelson would probably be one of the first to recognize the genius of Al.

Not really a reference, but a connection:

In the MST3K:The Movie riffing of the credits of This Island Earth, Crow sees the constellation Orion, and also makes a crack about Orion being bankrupt!

Wow... I can't believe you actually found this topic!

I vaguely remember that line. All I really remember is the, "Eastman... he came from the east to do battle with Mando (or was it Armando? I can't remember)!"

Still, it's close enough. Thanks for the reminder.
