The Funniest Music Video I've Ever Seen in My Entire Life!

You HAVE to watch this video. It's Weird Al Yankovic's new video. He took some popular rap song that is horrible and made a genuine work of art. It's called "White N' Nerdy."

Click here.

I've watched this video about a dozen times tonight, and I can't stop laughing. Every time I watch it, I catch another detail I missed. I'm nerdy enough to type out the lyrics so everyone can enjoy this hilarious song.








They see me mowin, my front lawn
I know they're all thinkin I'm so white and nerdy

Think I'm just to white n nerdy

I wanna roll with the gangstas,
but so far they all think I'm too white and nerdy

Think I'm just to white n nerdy

First in my class here at MIT
Drop skills I'm the champion at DND
MC Escher that's my favorite MC
Keep your 40 I'll just have a Earl Gray Tea
My rims never spin to the contrary
You'll find that they're quite stationary
All of my action figures are (cherry)
Steven Hawking's in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin for my top 8 spaces
Yo, I know Pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
I go all over my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'm a wiz at minesweeper I could play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you're gonna stay amazed
My famous move is so fast it's like the place is ablaze
Cause I'll kill a rap I haven't run
Act passed out while I'm number one
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat but I got a sautering gun
Happy Days is my favorite theme song
I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in Javascript as well as Klingon

They see me roll on my Segway
I know in my heart they think I'm white n nerdy

Think I'm just to white n nerdy

I'd like to roll with the gangstas
Although it's apparent I'm to white n nerdy

Think I'm just to white n nerdy

I been browsin and (stepped) in X-Men
comics you know I collet em
The pens in my pocket I must protect em
My ergonimic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shoppin online for deals on re-writeable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing web sites
While freinds need some code who do they call?
I do HTML for them all
Even made a home page for my dog
Yo I got myself a phanny pack
They were havin a sale outta the GAP
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
Pop pop, hope no-one sees me get freaky
I'm dirty in the extreme and whiter than sour cream
I was in A/V Club and Glee Club and even the Chess Team
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk, or do I like Picard
Spend every weekend at the Reniassance Fair
Got my name on my underwear

They see me strollin, they laughin
And rollin their eyes cause I'm so white n nerdy

Just because I'm white n nerdy

I wanna bowl with the gangstas
But oh whell it's obvious I'm white n nerdy

Yeah, it is a good song. I'm pretty sure there was another thread about this before.

Thanks for reminding me about it, though.


Glory to the Many.

And it's not that I'm nerdy enough to know about these things, I just have very good hearing. Honest.

A - "I have NEVER taken 10 minutes!"

I got a 15/37! Although some of them I think I should get two points for, like I have an entire room decorated in MC Escher, I do have Steven Hawking, and I DO have a library (practically). I never played DND but I'm thouroughly addicted to HS.

And thanks for the correct wording on that phrase RichardD. There are a couple in there I couldn't quite make out. I may have them right, but they don't make sense to me. Like "stepped" in X-Men and "cherry" action figures.

I love how at the beginning the guys lock the door to their convertible when he walks up to them, like they are in a bad neighborhood or something. And the guy dancing in the background trips me out, because in those videos there's ALWAYS some random dude dancing beside the rapper, and I never know exactly what he's doing there...I think it's funny they included that into the video. And Al's MySpace page has Einstein, Bill Gates, and Pee Wee Herman among others listed in his top 8.

Every time I watch this video, I catch something I missed before. It's hilarious!

That song is hilarious. I had to watch the video twice. Those two Mad TV guys rolling up their windows and driving away crack me up.

But I think it might be fun to calculate my nerd score:

First in my class here at MIT
Public university, mediocre GPA (I worked full-time through college)

Drop skills I'm the champion at DND
I own an extensive collection of D&D books, and can espouse the brilliance of Basic over AD&D=1 point

MC Escher that's my favorite MC
Nope. I think he's interesting, but that's about all.

Keep your 40 I'll just have a Earl Gray Tea
No again, but to both - I love a good English stout.

My rims never spin to the contrary
You'll find that they're quite stationary
If no spinning rims means nerdy, then that's another point. 2

All of my action figures are (cherry)
My action figures are all out of the packaging... because I used to play with them. I think that earns another point. 4

Steven Hawking's in my library
No. Not even close.

My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin for my top 8 spaces
MySpace? I hear the kids like that. I'm out.

Yo, I know Pi to a thousand places
Only 2. I don't think that counts.

Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
Nope again.

I go all over my sandwiches with mayonnaise
No again. That's nasty.

I'm a wiz at minesweeper I could play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you're gonna stay amazed
My famous move is so fast it's like the place is ablaze
I don't much care for the games that came with my machine. I like online Flash games! Yeah, OK, 5.

Do vector calculus just for fun
I don't even know what that is.

I ain't got a gat but I got a sautering gun
No. Does a woodburner count if it's for my business? I'm not counting it.

Happy Days is my favorite theme song
My favorite theme song is from Sledge Hammer. It's awesome. No nerd points - except for remembering what I was watching in high school.

I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I used to play a lot of ping pong. I'll take a point for that. 6

I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
God, I suck at trivia.

I'm fluent in Javascript as well as Klingon
What? No. No.

They see me roll on my Segway
The world's most ridiculous vehicle.

I been browsin and (stepped) in X-Men
comics you know I collet em
Not any more, but I used to be a total comic geek. Definite 7.

The pens in my pocket I must protect em
I always lose my pens.

My ergonimic keyboard never leaves me bored
No point.

Shoppin online for deals on re-writeable media
I shop online for deals on strap clamps and metal brands, but I don't think that makes me nerdy.

I edit Wikipedia
Absolutely not.

I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
OK, yes. I am a knight who says, 'Neep!' 8

I got a business doing web sites
I've been known to make some income designing web sites. 9

While freinds need some code who do they call?
I do HTML for them all
Yeah, gotta take this one, too. 10

Even made a home page for my dog
OK, I don't have to take this one. That's just silly.

Yo I got myself a phanny pack
They were havin a sale outta the GAP
God no. I hate those little hip packs. I hate even more that anyone calls them 'fanny' packs. Can I take points off for this one?

Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
Pop pop, hope no-one sees me get freaky
No. Absolutely not.

I'm dirty in the extreme and whiter than sour cream
I bathe regularly.

I was in A/V Club and Glee Club and even the Chess Team
No, no, and no. But I am good at chess.

Only question I ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk, or do I like Picard
I don't even like Star Trek.

Spend every weekend at the Reniassance Fair
Oh, man, I hate that thing. I even had a line on selling dice towers there, and turned it down because they wanted me to wear a costume and talk like I was Charles Dickens.

Got my name on my underwear
I used to - in boot camp, we all did. I'm not taking a point for that.

I wanna bowl with the gangstas
I don't bowl. I have, because I had a girlfriend who did, but I suck at it.

So I score 10. I'll take that. But I prefer 'geek' to 'nerd'. If I bust out a geek scorer, I'll max it out.

It's not fair!

Yeah I don't even have to do the math. Guilty as charged. And that's not the first time he's taken a stab at D&D. I'm 'bout ready 't tho down some Magic Missile on sum sumbody. Yo unerstan wa I'm sayin?

My 27 yo tight tshirt, thong wearing wife on the other hand, has it in her cute little head that just because she is cute, that makes her ineligable. Yeah right, she has the song on her iPod and she's the one that taught me Klingon!

It's OK to be white and nerdy. It's a terrible thing to not know who you are.


The Code:

Let the strong protect the weak.
Let the weak revere the strong.
In all things uphold honor, charity, and justice.
And may fear have no place in the hearts of men.

Some how I knew that this was the video the minute I saw the thread title. I am also quite a nerd so I do not have to add it up.

That's none other than Donny Osmond, who is one of the premier incarnations of "white & nerdy".
