Yuk yuk yuk. I’m going watch that whenever I’m not loving life. It’s great having Weird Al back.

…and Weird Al brings to mind another 80s blast-from-the-past who were obsessed w/ Charles Nelson Riley: The Dead Milkmen…

For a huge fan of CNR, Weird Al, *and* the White Stripes, this is a bloody trifecta!

This was very funny.
I love Al and Charles Nelson Reilly with the heat of a thousand suns and I don’t want to be a downer but this premise seems a tad ripped off from the George Washington animation by Cox and Combes; down to the laser beam eyes, kicking things in half and f*ng mammals.
