Really,
Family Guy? Couldn't even think of a food pun (see
The Simpsons "Pringle Bells" joke)? Just any run-of-the-mill pun on pop culture equals Weird Al for you guys?

That's not terribly creative, but given that Family Guy is really not funny any more, I'm not surprised.

If anything, I wish they'd have bothered to give Al his current look, as opposed to his 80s one.

Its still his most recognized look, despite this year making his "new" look longer lasting than his "old" look

Eh, wake me up when "American Dad!" references Al in some way. It's probably going to be funnier and more creative/biting if they do it.
Oh wait...I get it! It's funny because Al is named like Al Gore's name! Hahahaha....no.
(Now there's a reference to an animated show that's funny AND clever...or at least used to be until just this season)
I wonder what Al might have to say about this on Twitter if he happens to see it? He did tweet about The Simpsons' last two minor references (including the Pringle Bells one) as well as SNLs.

Actually, I gotta hand it to Family Guy's artists. Even if they left his old glasses and mustache intact and gave him short hair, that's probably the most accurate representation of his facial features they could ever pull off.

I feel like they would use the My Little Pony clips way before they would use this one, but that's just my opinion I guess. Also I haven't seen this other than what Al put on Instagram but I feel like it isn't worth watching. Maybe for one of those transition clip things. Again idk I'm not in charge of these things

FOX put up the clip on their Animation Domination YouTube page already. It's definitely not worth watching.
...and Al did mention this on Twitter, so I guess I spoke too soon.
Come to think of it, the more I see this the more it reminds me of the Jurassic Park video.

You... speaking too soon? Impossible.
