The older he gets, the more he looks like Eric Idle. My theory is that's why he keeps his hair so long, so people won't notice.

I thought Weird Al had shorter hair, glasses, and a moustache.  Or maybe I haven't noticed him much since he made UHF.

The guy in the video looks like Uncle Muscles.

Gee, you're right.  The resemblance is eerie.  You should post your findings in the New Game: these two people are sorta/kinda the same person (http://friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,1211.0.html) thread.

One of my favourite Best Show moments is when Patton Oswalt called in to tell Tom Scharpling that he had given the whole S&W collection to Weird Al as a gift, and said that Al loved them and was really starting to dig the show.  Tom then asked Mike (or whoever the call screener was at the point) to start purging certain episodes from the archives, lest Al Yankovic find them.

I'm not sure I needed to share that, but believe me it was funny.

I still remember one episode where Tom insulted Al. I wonder what it's like to be a fan of someone when they bluntly insulted you (and would likely continue until that someone finds out that you like him). Must have sucked to listen to that archive.

I'm gonna guess he's got thick skin about that stuff, and I'm also gonna guess wiping his nose with $100 bills eases the pain a bit.

Weird Al seems like an easy-going dude. And like someone else said, I'm sure he's heard worse.

I wonder what Kevin Smith would think if HE ever called the show.

According to the Mr. Show book, Al was a fan of their spoof on him ("Daffy" Mal Yinkleyankle).  Sounds like he can take a good ribbing.
