Ranking ‘Weird Al’s’ New Music Videos, From ‘Foil’ To ‘Tacky’ To ‘Word Crimes’

The most amazing thing about “Weird Al” Yankovic in 2014 is that “Weird Al” Yankovic is still relevant in 2014. Color me surprised. I love “UHF” as much as the next person, but if you would've asked me 20 years ago (when I was…5?) whether the satirical musician would still be making news this deep into the 21st century I probably would've answered “no.”

Which isn't to say I'm not glad he's still around – if nothing else, his new batch of music videos (8 clips in 8 days) prove he's still got the chops to pull off a killer music parody more than 30 years after he burst onto the scene with the 1979 “My Sharona” lampoon “My Bologna.”

So which of the new clips are A-grade “Weird Al” and which are merely decent filler material? Check out our full (definitive?) ranking of all 8 videos in the gallery below, then let us know which are your favorites by voting in the poll further down the page.
