White and Nerdy. Inevitable. Inevitable.

But I'm also pretty fond of all those polka medleys he does. Angry White Boy Polka is great.

epturner23 Oct 2012 4:08 p.m. PST

Concur with WarrenB. And the thing is, my apathy zombie, I mean, teenaged daughter, thinks he's funny as Hell, too.

Fat and Eat It are still tops!

The "Beat It" cover.

With Fall-In coming up it has to be Amish Paradise

David Cliffel23 Oct 2012 5:18 p.m. PST

One more minute… Lots of great ones to chose from but one more minute is the classic breakup song, despite the new Taylor Swift junk…

Oddball23 Oct 2012 5:37 p.m. PST

Tough call.

"The Saga Begins" with the Star Wars Emporer playing piano is very funny.

YouTube link

"Smells like Nirvana" is another high point in his career.

YouTube link

But, I gotta go with:

"White and Nerdy". "I'm whiter than sour cream" for lyrics, Donny Osmond dancing in the back ground and shooting craps with a D20 & D8. Good stuff.

YouTube link

The Beast Rampant23 Oct 2012 5:38 p.m. PST

I can't decide between "Amish Paradise" and "Fat".

I'll let the(full length) video break the tie, and go with "Fat".

Oh crap, I forgot about "White & Nerdy"! The man still got it!

Eat it

The Beast Rampant23 Oct 2012 5:41 p.m. PST

"White and Nerdy". "I'm whiter than sour cream" for lyrics and Donny Osmond dancing in the back ground. Good stuff.

..And shooting polyhedral craps, and the back-alley deal for a bootleg "Star Wars Christmas Special", and the list goes on…

Calico Bill23 Oct 2012 5:42 p.m. PST

Fat. But the one about Star Trekin' comes a close second.

Major Mike23 Oct 2012 5:49 p.m. PST

One of his newer ones, "Perform That Way" spoof of Lady Gaga.

John the OFM23 Oct 2012 6:14 p.m. PST

I have often thought that "like a Surgeon" is a classic of Early Yankovic.
YouTube link
I also have tremendous respect for "Amish Paradise", especially because it Bleeped texted off Coolio.

But, the ultimate manifestation of the Genius that is Al is "The Saga Begins"
YouTube link
"My my, this here Anakin guy…" Parody does not get better than that.

Tommy2023 Oct 2012 6:49 p.m. PST

Yup. Although I generally prefer his earlier stuff, "The Saga Begins" is his masterpiece.

ming3123 Oct 2012 6:51 p.m. PST

I lost on Jeporday

Rich Bliss23 Oct 2012 7:15 p.m. PST

Christmas at Ground Zero is my personal favorite, followed closely by Bug Eyed Monsters from Outerspace.

Lastrati23 Oct 2012 7:31 p.m. PST

I think "White and Nerdy" is my favorite, but I also really like "I Lost on Jeopardy" and always sing "Nature Trail to Hell" when taking my girls camping.

"You're Pitiful" is fun. It didn't make an album because the original record company (not the artist) nixed the deal.
