What I want to know is why Patton Oswalt wasn't thanked. Isn't he assumed to be in a video, possibly Sports Song?
He is thanked. Near the bottom of the list.

I don't think Foil needs a third verse... the original doesn't have three verses, it only has two. And besides, both verses are not just about foil, but ALUMINUM foil. So a third verse couldn't be about some non-aluminum kind of foil. That wouldn't work. :) What else would you say about aluminum foil specifically? "I'd rather chew on aluminum fooooiiiiillll"

So what you're saying is that the bridge part should have been Al moaning in pain while trying to chew on aluminum foil?

Every time I listen to this, I'm thrown off by the "refreshing herbal tea" line. I'm assuming that's in there because of "Royals" and the fact that British people like tea, but it sort of seems out of place to me, and I'm not sure how it gels with the aluminum foil concept. Am I missing something here?

Patton Oswalt and Tom Lennon are in the foil video, according to the Comedy Bang Bang podcast

This will be the Music Video made by CollegeHumor. That means that this is a Live Action video that we were not aware about :whoot:

CollegeHumor does some animation as well, so there's a chance it isn't live action.

If Patton Oswalt and Tom Lennon are in it, I think it's got to be live action.
