I second this. I'm curious to see how many you have from the last time you posted the list.

Honestly, at this point I couldn't even name them all offhand.

My advice is, go through the AL-Tube Playlists, and for each video, check to see what other videos the uploader has. If it's nothing but Al videos, it may be worth a subscription.

I'm pretty sure if the name of the channel is taken from a character on The Weird Al Show, then it's probably Freds'...right , Fred?

I've ran out of Weird Al Show characters. I've since had to name channels after UHF characters, AL-TV quotes, song lyrics...anything I can think of.

But I promise, EVERY new relevant thing I upload will be added to the AL-Tube Playlists. Consider them the definitive source.

A few new-ish clips I uploaded in the last couple weeks:

- Think "White & Nerdy" was the first time Al appeared onscreen with Donny Osmond? Well think again, moron.

- From a promo for a 1985 MTV-themed episode of "Let's Make A Deal," here's AL'S FREAKING CAR being presented as the "bad prize" for no discernible reason.

- Three new-to-YouTube clips from The Compleat Al (the one-hour Showtime edit).

- Al promoting The Weird Al Show on MTV's Oddville.

- An above-average interview on Canada's Jane Hawtin Live (incidentally I used to trade tapes with the "Lindsay" who calls in to ask about TWAS in this clip; she was my Canadian source for primo MuchMusic appearances back in the day.)

- Speaking of MuchMusic, from AL-Music #1 (1993), Al somehow escapes his enclosure and is allowed to wander the streets.

- And from AL-Music #2 (also 1993) here's Al saying hi to a big fan and mocking Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" video.

- Back to America, Al co-hosting VH1's "Rock The House" in 2002.

- From AL-TV #2 (1984), Al heaps praise upon the great Billy Idol.

- From AL-TV #3 (1985), one of Jim West's secret hidden talents.

- And one of my favorites, also from AL-TV #3, finds Al following Victoria Jackson's lead and indulging in a bit o' good old-fashioned Satanism accusation.

Enjoy!

Al's Freaking Car link points to Donny and Marie.

Hey look! It's the even MORE stuff!

- From AL-Music #2 (1993), legendary MuchMusic veejay Steve Anthony gives Al a grand introduction.

- From the same special, Al promotes Alapalooza, pleases a caller and plays whatever the hell he wants to watch.

- Gedde Watanabe reprises his role as Kuni on The Weird Al Show. And yes, that was all a blur too.

- From 1992, Al's "VH1 To One" special.

- Ladies and gentlemen, Jay Levey IS Arnold Schwarzenegger.

- From 1989, Al promotes UHF on Nickelodeon and MTV.

- Al hosting VH1's "The List" in 2000 with Emo Philips, Jackie Collins, Mario Van Peebles and the late great Doug Feiger.

- From April 1, 1997, Al's appearance on the MuchMusic Laugh-A-Thon.

- Camp Superfun is fun fun fun.

- Al's tenure as a freakin' squid.

- All three "AL-TV News" segments from AL-TV 2K.

- And of course, Al's rarely-seen duet with Axl.
