Has Al ever done anything political before?

[–] BuckenBerry@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

He made similar videos in 2016 and 2020

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 3 points 2 months ago

I wasn't aware of that. The presidental race has been parodical since 2016 so it makes sense.

yeah his royals parody foil where he gets taken away by the cia lizard people for exposing their secrets

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that really political though?

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe not but it's a super fun video. :) Probably political to people who believe in lizard people. 😀

It is yeah. Even for Weird Al, the humour is top notch. I love the rug pull where the song changes from being about how neat tin foil is, to conspiracy lunacy. (Because I could totally see him making a song that's just about how neat tin foil is).

I laughed until tears came down my cheeks when I got to that part the first time. Which might be a little over the top, but that exact transition you describe really got me. The visual transition really drives it home, too.
