Above Average's hit web series Sound Advice starring Saturday Night Live's very own Vanessa Bayer – which now has a home on IFC's Comedy Crib – has just dropped a new video with guest "Weird Al" Yankovic. The new episode comes just after SNL released their 40th anniversary special. And in this newest piece from Janessa Slater (Bayer's character), the comedian discusses the success of Yankovic's newest album Mandatory Fun as well as the shock that he had a Grammy nomination. The two also joked about the fact that he's not a "legit musician" because he's never been addicted to drugs or alcohol.
Kicking off with some new sponsorship from Hyundai, this episode of Sound Advice proceeds to delve into the pop satirist's career (or pop sa-tirist), with Bayer finding it unbelievable that "Normal Al" had earned himself a No. 1 album.
"I guess what I'm wondering is ... you did, had the No. 1 album?" she asked.

So, readers, would you agree that Yankovic looks like a bad guy in a Disney movie? Or is more like Kenny G?
And where can we get that "Alex F" parody as a ringtone?
Following the release, both Yankovic and Bayer took to Twitter to share their excitement, which after watching seems appropriate. Check it out below:
