Handy

[minnick27]

Al did an Interview with Kindle (download here: http://www.amazon.com/Weird-Al-Yankovic ... B00LNMY8NE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) where he talks about how "Perform This Way" was the last video his record label agreed to pay for. All of the videos from "Mandatory Fun", I guess, are coming out of his pocket, so it makes sense he doesn't want to blow all the money on one video.

Also, am I the only one who doesn't think this video is bad? Low budget, sure, but not bad!

I gota buy an interview? How long is it?

The house number is 27 and there's a Straight Out of Lynwood picture on the fridge.
Those background dancers have some good moves!

I really enjoyed this video! Would have been great to see Emo Phillips in it, but still happy with how it turned out. Not the best video from the album, but still really fun.

Bob was different, because it nailed the video parody target dead on.

It might've nailed the video, but it didn't do anything with it. There's no jokes; It's just lyrics. Compare Bob with Fafenefenoiby by Milo Kerrigan.

Handy at least has jokes.

wow...it's really grown on me since the first watch.

I'm surprised the reaction to the video has been so lukewarm. I admit it's my least favorite video of the four so far, but that doesn't mean I dislike it. The other three were just so good!

Maybe it has to do with me liking the song more than most seem to. It's just a ridiculous parody of an already ridiculous original, and I'm kind of a sucker for those.

The money for the videos isn't coming out of Al's pocket. He mentioned is his interview with Stuart Varney on the Fox Business Channel that the sites he is partnering with to make these videos (College Humor, Nerdist, Yahoo, etc.,) are footing the bills for the videos.

This video isn't bad. I don't think the issue of it being low-budget is all that relevant. As we've seen with both "Tacky" and "Foil," low-budget videos can work really well if they're executed properly. I'm sure this one will grow on me, but I'm certainly not overly impressed. As has been mentioned, it has some decent gags, and the dancing is funny, but I found myself to be kind of bored while watching this.

Stuart Varney: "But how do you make money?!"

It's about 65 pages. It only costs 99 cents, and it's well worth it. It's a really good interview, and I learned quite a few things from it.

65 pages is insane! Im there
