I'm a pretty big fan of him. I don't have any of his albums, though.
I like most of his stuff. I bought "Fat," "Smells Like Nirvana," and "Headline News" on iTunes. I would download "Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies," (Dire Straits is one of my favorite bands) but for some reason that's the only one of his songs you can't download.
The videos for all of the above songs are also hilarious. "The Saga Begins" is pretty funny too, but I don't know if I'll buy it.
One of the reasons I like him so much is probably because I parody songs myself. I haven't recorded any (and I probably won't), but I've written parodies of "The Trees" by Rush (parody is about GameFAQs) and "American Idiot" by Green Day. (parody is um... against Green Day). I'm about halfway through parodies of "Over and Over" by Usher (about the song itself), and "2112" by Rush. (about an internet gaming cafe)
I think almost all of his stuff is funny, but it can get a bit corny sometimes.

Weird Al is a genius. Has anybody seen his film UHF? Utter stupidity, but funny all the same. Anyways, I can't choose one Weird Al song that I like the best, because they're all brilliant. His videoclips as well. I guess you could say that among my favourites are: The Saga Begins, Amish Paradise, Gump, Fat, Eat It, Like A Surgeon, Yoda, and soooooo many others. I have one album, Running With Scissors, but my friend has ALL of them. He's a real Weird Al fan. He knows everything there is to know about him and knows all of his songs by heart. I assure you, I am NOT exaggerating.

I like "will the fake slim shady please shut up?" by Weird Al. My Aunt who works on movies for paramount got to meat him once, she said he is hilarious in person.

That song's not actually by Al, you know... Anyway, the guy's amazing. I'll be trying to get tickets the next time he comes here. That show would be awesome, don't you think?
BTW, Here's a great Weird Al site.

Because PMUSA put a super-long "SOOOOOOOO" in his post which needs editing.

UHF isn't just very funny, it changes your life.
Case in point: if I'm ever kidnapped, I'm going to be every bit as moronic as Michael Richards was.

I think Weird Al can be very funny, though quite a few of his songs are pretty stupid and immature, his "toilet humour" ones, for example. Many of his songs are really good, though. My favourites are definitely "Bob," "You Don't Love Me Anymore" and "One More Minute."

Mweeee~! *glomps Wierd Al for no particular reason* Wierd Al pwnz! ^^ If I had to pick a favorite song.... boy, that'd be hard... -_-" I've even memorized his eleven and a half minute song, 'Albuquerque'. Running With Scissors was the first CD our family ever got, and ever since, we've been hooked...
I really wish that 'Polkamon' was on one of his CDs, though, sadly, it's not. ;_;
