World of Weird Al Yankovic

I've seen a lot of mixed posts about what videos people like most...I'm curious to see what the majority is.

Foil!

Foil, with Word Crimes right behind. Way behind those, I'd rank Tacky right in front of Handy.

My list would be the same

Foil, hands down is the best of the parody videos. I'm very surprised that I ended up ranking it so high, as it was my four favorite parody on the album until I saw the video.

Next is Word Crimes, Tacky, and Handy at a distant fourth.

Foil was my favorite parody on the album from the first listen, and the video only cemented its status.

Yeah, I was one of (what seemed like) the few that had Foil as a favorite right from listening to the album. I think it's a really well-crafted parody and there's not a single thing wrong with the video in my opinion.

Hm...no votes for Handy.

I think Word Crimes is the highest-end video by far, but it's really close between Word Crimes and Foil as to which is my actual favorite. Watched them both about 30 times a piece though. Handy is cute but if you're going to go for the low budget parody, you should probably make it even MORE obvious with cheesy fonts, green screen mistakes, etc. Maybe start with a high-end looking TV shot in beautiful HD and slowly zoom into the cheesy commercial, ya know?

I agree. With the way they approached the low budget look, I think it came across as actually looking low budget.

Tacky
