**Awesome** - By: S. Gates, 03 Feb 2008
I hadn't seen all of the videos on here when I bought it for my other half, but it is cracking. Unsuprisingly there's a great deal of chuckles to be had, as the videos arein a very similar vein to the songs -in short, if you like the music I reckon there's a good chance you'll like the videos. And to have them allin one place & not via YouTube is a nice little luxury.

The one criticism is that the selection seems to have been put together just before 'White & Nerdy' - I was hoping to get a little bit of dancing Donny on this DVD, but it was not to be. Maybe next time...

All Al's great stuff - By: Bj Lucas, 30 Sep 2007
check out this great video collection. 'fat' is hilariously funny(done to the tune of Michael Jackson's Bad)

Gangsters paradise also gets the weird Al treatment & becomes Ahmish paradise Soo hilarious!The video is worth seeing by itself. Also, look out for a black & white video that mirrors Extremes 'more than words' side splittingly funny.

this has all Als wonderful parodies on it, brilliant.

As for Weird Alin general, I find his parodies of pop songs highly entertaining. Although parodies of books (such as Barry Trotter & the like) seem to get boring beyond the first two pages, Weird Al not only has the advantage that each track is only three minutes long, but also is actually funny, & every other line will induce a chuckle. When he makes a music video, it's usually both the audio & the video that are parodies of the originals, & I will sometimes spend an hour trying to see if I can find Wierd Al videos & their originals on YouTube, & watch the originals solelyin order to appreciate the parodies. But you probably have to be "well-read" (as it were)in the pop music parodied herein order to get the best out of this album.
