Summary: "Weird Al" Yankovic: The Videos
Review: HEY! If you're considering paying $100 for this DVD, DON'T DO IT! The videos are certainly worth watching, but by November 2003 apparently there will be a new collection. One that will be digitally remastered and everything! So, just hold off until the Christmas season to watch all of the video genius of Al. Check out the official site for the details under "Ask Al" for Sept 2nd.

Summary: DVD?
Review: I am a student! I can barely afford tofu, much less a freakin DVD player! I scoop food for a living! I have rights!I was proud of being able to afford a vcr, now you try to rip me off with this? I want Wierd Al on VHS! (By the way, I put 5 stars because I ASSUME that's what it is. But it looks like about half the computer users out here will never know, will we?)

Summary: Why just DVD?
Review: I have heard that if you want to get all the videos without buying them in numerous tapes, this is the one thing to buy. However, no owning a DVD player, I cannot purchase this item. No if were on VHS, well, need I say more? I'd already have it! So I here address this question to Al on behalf of all VHS owners who DON'T own a DVD player... WHY OH WHY OH WHY DIDN'T YOU RELEASE THIS ITEM ON DVD and VHS? PLEAHEHEHEASE PUT IT TO VHS, TOO! Thank you.

Summary: I just keep laughing!
Review: I knew he was talented and funny, but seeing him on my television anytime I want is the best! All 21 of his videos are there on the DVD. Anytime you need a good laugh, just pop it in and get ready to smile!

Summary: Only on DVD? STUPID!
Review: I personally have never seen this video in my whole life, but I would buy it if it were on VHS. But alas and alack(wheatever that means), I can not view it. If it were on VHS, I would buy it just as soon as possible. I think if those people want to sell these things and make money, then they should copy it to VHS, so it can sell more. I gave the video 5 stars, because I have seen some of the music videos, and I already like Weird Al a lot. I think that this video should be put onto VHS just as soon as possible.

Summary: Comedic Genius
Review: I remember when I first heard "Eat It" on the radio a long time ago I howled with laughter. I recently saw Al featured on "Behind the Music" and knew I wanted this DVD. It is absolutely hilarious. There are so many excellent cuts on this disc but "Amish Paradise" is exceptional.

Summary: Ugh
Review: Let's put aside how clever and hilarious Al Yankovic is, because chances are if you're here reading this review you probably already love the guy. In a nutshell. . . this DVD is pretty ugly. It's one of the lowest-quality transfers I've seen yet. It ranks way down there with Monty Python and the Holy Grail in picture clarity, but it's unacceptable here because some of the source material is only a couple years old. I would only complain about it if it detracted from the overall experience, and it most certainly does. Not that the DVD is ruined or anything. The disc contains most of Al's best work, and actually seeing the music videos makes listening to his songs much more worthwhile. I only wish they had polished the final product a little more. This thing is so bad, it plays exactly like a CD--pop it in, push play, and it immediately starts playing the videos, one after another, with not a thing between. I would have liked to see some behind the scenes stuff, or even some informative text! But there's nothing. It's disappointing when a DVD has so much potential, but the producers don't even tap into the power of the DVD format.

Summary: Al is the king of parodies
Review: Not only does Al write lyrics perfectly, but he also parodies the videos exceptionally! And this is a wonderful collection of his videos. He amazingly recreates the original video but with a clever twist to add humor. Of course, a lot of the videos are his original ideas in which he shows his other talent--creating his own music and videos. Al is truly an amazing musician. I am so glad I own this DVD with all of his best videos! You should own it too!
