Which title/concept do you think is funnier:
Mandatory Fun, as we've seen it so far,
vs.
MandALtory Fun, the same thing but with an AL pun and on the cover there are more silly jokes like flying pigs and tutus?

I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

Re: Mandatory Fun vs MandALtory Fun
I personally don't think anything needs to be added to the cover. It is already funny as it is, just the idea of Al as a dictator. Also, MandALtory Fun just seems more complicated to say, and really doesn't flow, so I am choosing Mandatory Fun

Re: Mandatory Fun vs MandALtory Fun
Mandatory Fun makes sense.
However seeing the fit of rage of that Jon would be in if the title was MandALtory Fun would be funniest, since he still seems to want to make a big deal about this.

Re: Mandatory Fun vs MandALtory Fun
I'm totally over the Al puns. The term AL-bum makes me cringe, too,
Is my dude a dweeb?

Re: Mandatory Fun vs MandALtory Fun
The times Al has used that in a title, it felt organic, like it didn't totally crowd the rest of the title. MandAltory is just so forced and unnatural when compared to the other times it was used.

Re: Mandatory Fun vs MandALtory Fun
I think the most common speculation for the title was "RevAlution," which is also just as awkward, if you ask me.
Mandatory Fun is good. Alpocalypse and Alapalooza (the only times he actually snuck Al in the title, aside from the first album) both worked because they weren't trying desperately to fit in an Al pun; both of those titles roll off the tongue without making it sound super-forced.

I find the existence of this poll incredibly ironic.

He should totally have called it ManALALALALAL AlAl. Missed opportunity.
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?
