Weird Al Yankovic Reddit AMA: 10 Most Hilarious Things the 'Eat It' Singer Said During Fan Interview Yesterday, June 27
Yesterday, musical funnyman/genius Weird Al Yankovic did a Reddit AMA (As Me Anything) in order to promote his new children’s book My New Teacher and Me! As is bound to happen when fans and Weird Al meet, things got a little silly.
Since Yankovic can make any joke better than at MStars can, here’s the best of yesterday’s fan interview:
1. Chocolatesandwiches: What is your favorite leg?
Alyankovic: Left
2. Griftr: How do you maintain your glorious mane of hair?
Alyankovic: I hot-glue the follicles to my scalp every morning. It’s painful and time-consuming, but well worth it.
3. dakotacage: Which one of your parodies do you consider your favorite so far?
Alyankovic: My stock answer is “White & Nerdy,” because I did a lifetime’s worth of research in order to write those lyrics
4. Not-my-cabbage-corp: How much of your life has been spent living in an Amish paradise? And how’s the food?
Alyankovic: 1. Less than 3%
2. Okay, I guess.
5. DeezyCheezy: I read somewhere that you promised Kurt Cobain that you wouldn't make your parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit about food. But if you HAD written it about food, what food would it be about?
Alyankovic: Scalloped potatoes
6. gou15: As a multi-talented individual, what talent do you have that not a lot of people know you have, or that no one knows you have?
Alyankovic: I can paint highly detailed images on the head of a pin. As long as the pin is at least 3 feet wide.
7. Spcms: Who would you want to play you in your biopic?
Alyankovic: Aaron Paul is the obvious choice. If he’s not available, maybe Alanis Morissette.
8. Phyllodactylus: How should I spend this Saturday?
Alyankovic: Pondering your mortality and eating Doritos.
9. Superslider77: Were you able to get the rabid wolverine out of your underwear? Also, please do a song with The Lonely Island!
Alyankovic: First of all, I don’t particularly mind the rabid wolverine in my underwear. And secondly, I love The Lonely Island and would be happy to do anything they wanted me to that didn’t involve dolphin torture or genital mutiliation.
10. Wizardray: What’s the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you?
Alyankovic: “What is your favorite leg?”
Yankovic’s new book My New Teacher and Me! is in stores now.
