Now, I watched “Obsession” (2025) recently, and it‘s become one of my fave horror films as of recent (it’s very very good fr <33).

Here’s what a Weird Al parody of it would be like (cuz I love both <33) :

A person (who’s a no. 1 Weird Al fan) wishes that “Weird Al loved them more than ANYONE in the world”, they break the One Wish Willow and the rest of the film parody sees Weird Al follow this person everywhere they go lmao 🤣. Cue wacky Weird Al shenanigans here.

personally, i would really love either a modern horror film (like say “Backrooms” (2026) or “Obsession” (2025)) parody starring Weird Al.

for some classic old school horror films tho, I think “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Weird Al parody would be pretty neat too!

I know Lady Gaga’s a fan of Weird Al, but are there any other artists who are reportedly confirmed fans of him and his music?

I know the majority of Al’s fanbase is mostly from the USA, but I was wondering if there’s any Weird Al fans from other countries here too?

If so, then hello 🙋I’m British and I love Weird Al <33

(*that is if licensing the songs weren’t an issue (*cough* cuz they’re too bloody expensive lol *cough*) in this case)

I remember watching this short horror film on YouTube, probs from one of the well known short horror film YouTube channels (I think the film was on the YouTube channel ALTER?)

Anyways, this film was about a high school girl dealing with body issues (iirc), in which the body issues eventually become so bad that the high school girl rips open her own stomach with her own hands (I think she did it in a high school football field?)

I remember being really horrified at this scene lol (I was admittedly a tad young when I first watched it at the time lol), but I’ve recently thought about the scene again but I just can’t remember the title of the film lol.

Any help finding the name of the film would be appreciated 👍

Considering Al’s irl dad (Nick Yankovic) fought in WW2 (he worked as a medic during the war), I feel like it would’ve been funny if that detail was kept in the film but ofc very much taken to “Weird Al”-levels of exaggerated to be smth like, for example :

Al’s dad Nick being a comically exaggerated grizzled bad-ass soldier beating up Nazis with all his strength (as shown by him beating up the traveling salesman in the film), even going so far as to beat up Adolf Hitler himself (who could also be played by Al, which is also a reference to the time Al played Hitler in one of the sketches from the comedy sketch show “Drunk History”)

idk just a silly thought I had.

As far as I’m aware, Al is mostly on good terms with the artists he’s parodied off of.

Well, except Prince ofc lol (cuz he refused to be parodied by Al, so Al has poked fun at Prince in a couple of his songs). Plus Coolio for a while but then Coolio later warmed up to the parody “Amish Paradise” a few years later, which is nice at least :)).

Other than those 2, does Al have any musical arch-rivals (aka people who refused to be parodied by him and/or didn’t like Al’s parodies of their original songs)?

Personally, I’d have loved a music video of “Ode to a Superhero“ cuz the image of Al in Billy Joel’s 70s haircut whilst playing the piano would be kinda funny ngl lol 😂
