--- We tore through every Weird Al song it was possible to tear through during the two hour drive from Charlottesville. It’s rare we’re able to share nostalgia, so this was really satisfying.
--- I've never seen someone enter the stage halfway through the first song -- cool.
--- Hark says, “I love Weird Al’s shirt.” He says this during “Tacky.”
--- Out of nowhere: “HELLO, WOLFTRAP.” HA.
--- “Lame Claim to Fame” name drops real well. The flipping arms are funny and add to it.
--- “Now That's What I Call Polka.”
--- Hahaha at the montage: Bill Maher says it’s the apocalypse that Weird Al has a number one album, and Jason Segel petitions Paul McCartney to let Al finally record “Chicken Pot Pie.” Intriguing: Veep endorses him.
--- Stephen Colbert! The Celine Dion interview was a bit rough at first, but the cannibal ending sold me.
--- First aww of the night at “Homer and Marge,” his version of “Jack and Diane.”
--- “Fat.” I hate fat jokes in any form, but I guess the costume and lyrics at least commit to the bit...
--- “Foil”! Underrated, my favorite so far.
--- Never mind, top one is “Tastes Like Nirvana”!!! Love the extended cow verses, the gargling, and the flinging of the water cup! “I've been baptized,” says Hark on behalf of the waterlogged front rows.
--- The Real Food segment is painfully over the top.
--- I wish these songs weren't single verses, but at least I got 'em all. “eBay,” “Ode to a Superhero,” and “All About the Pentiums”!!! I spit out every “Pentiums” verse like a pro; Evan Davis would be proud.
--- Heh at “Canadian Idiot.”
--- Beck / Prince “Wanna B Ur Lovr”!!! Awesome crowd work. Extra points for the committed stage dive/scream at the end. Awww at the Seth Myers asking his dad to pull over the car as a kid to hear “Eat It.” Mini aww at the Craig Ferguson / Chris Hardwick segments.
--- Hahaha at the folk reversal of “Eat It”!
--- Whoaaaaa at the glory note of "Like A Surgeon”! Apparently he's got a legit voice.
--- Outstanding Jeopardy category intro to “White And Nerdy”!! Hahaha at 1200, Segways, and (evil Pyramid disaster) Donny Osmond popping in at random times.
--- Hahaha at “you know what I'm saying,” triple negatives, and ruining the gender of rap during the Eminem interview.
--- “Word Crimes” / “Amish Paradise”!!
--- Hahaha at all the storm troopers for “We All Have Cell Phone.” Then, the wonder: “A Saga Begins”!!!! The power of SINCERITY. Outstanding.
--- On the one hand, “Yoda” is far inferior. On the other hand, it's nice that Empire gets credit as a superior story. What on Earth is going on, lol??? It's some sort of avant-garde dubstep performance art. Major props for boldness!!!
--- The three people behind us: "My hands are numb."
