World of Weird Al Yankovic

He's not referring to that song (If you click on "read more"" he even has a disclaimer that it has nothing to do with Al - "P.S. Star Wars Gangsta Rap is NOT by Weird Al.).


Just the first part of the post where he's talking about an Al video

Oh. Now I see. Sorry about not understanding about the link before.

This may sound silly but do we know for sure that Weasel Stomping Day is actually for the DualDisc? We know that it's in an episode, but it could be something that'll just be a Robot Chicken exclusive that you'll actually have to watch the show to see.

That's something we wouldn't know until the tracklist actually comes out

No, we don't know for sure if it will be on the album, but it would seem like an awfully big coincidence that the show would have a supposed new exclusive Al song to premiere via an animated video around the same time Al would be releasing a new album in which many songs will have their own animated videos.

Anyway, going through old posts in the spoiler forum and found this

That's cool! Going with the regular album pattern, that confirms that that particular animated video will be for an original.

Not to mention the fact that Robot Chicken sprung from Twisted Toyfare:

Wikipedia wrote: The television show Robot Chicken, which features animated action figures, had its roots spring from Twisted Toyfare Theater (quite literally, as former TTT writer Tom Root is now the head writer for the show, along with fellow TTT alum Matthew Senreich). Series producer Seth Green is also an avid toy collector and long-time friend of the magazine. He wrote the introduction for one of the Twisted Toyfare Theater collected editions. Mark Hamill is a frequent voice actor on the show, and has also written such an introduction.

Sooooo... Al could have written the intro as a favour swap or something...

All but confirmed:

John K-Close But No Cigar
Bill Plympton-Don't Download This Song
Robot Chicken-Weasel Stomping Day


Also, David C. Lovelace (Retarded Animal Babies) has twice said he's doing a video

And the creator(s) behind Star Wars Gangsta Rap (Though it's debatable because of the age of the post)



If we have videos for all the originals, that leaves at leastone  more (And 2 more if DDTS is indeed a parody)


Have we heard about any other directors say they were working on this?

Well i think this was brought up before in other threads about the kid who made the Angry White Boy Polka video, Daniel Rocha. If you check out his web page, (http://www.newgrounds.com/lit/weirdal.html) Bermuda contacted him about it and "Mr. Groening's son is a Newgrounds fan, and he had shown my cartoon to Al when he came over. All of this was rather overwhelming for me, but I overcame my starstruck situation so I could make the rather bold suggestion of perhaps forming some kind of working relationship with Al and his band. -- Al surprised me by saying that he'd already considered it. Since the TV deal with Fuse hadn't gone through, Al came up with the idea to have me animate future videos for his next album. I would send my cartoons to the recording company, where they would be added to the data section of the CDs - so folks who put the discs in their computers would able to view them. He also said the animation process could be either entirely mine, or I could share creative ideas with him and the band. "

Is this the same one who did the Star Wars gansta video you were talking about who claimed to be working on the new CD? I don't know.
It's worth mentioning, and noting, he said that he was told that the animation process could be entirely his own, which goes to the other threads' talk of John K's video being racy. If this kid was offered free range, i'm sure John K was given the green light as well.

According to Wikipedia, the Star Wars Gangsta Rap was animated by Thomas Lee, so it's not the same person.

Yup. I read that story on the guy who did the AWBP video. I think it was determined as very unlikely because of the timing of his article. But it's most certainly still a possibility



So, the update on the site today confirms it's 6 videos for the disc (Still doesn't say if they're all for originals, but that seems most likely. It also hints at the fact that DDTS is NOT a parody.
