  • that must have been the bad accordian.

    

  • @coleenisakitten YES. If he had fallen, I would have started to cry. I'm a diehard al-oholic.

  • What a multitalented guy...

  • I wonder how he did all this.

  • 2:43 how's that for planking, bitches?

  • thumbs up if cracked bought you here

  • bet that dude was a double

  • This British girl is so cute ^^

    And thanks Weird Al for the laughs!

  • god tried to kill wierd al once,shown here at 5:01, it didnt work

  • Comment removed

  • Oh wow, I know he's alive and fine today and that was STILL freaky. GAH, get down, Al! And stop with the awful puns, lady.

  • I couldn't watch this without my stomach lurching...god I hate heights. x.x

  • Weird Al's badassery just went way up for me.

    Also, when he was standing up with the windmill behind him, for a second he looked like a dragonfly.

  • BRIGHT PINK PANTS O.O

  • 3:21 is the best moment of this video! =D

  • jesus christ what kind of an idiot suicidal amateur would go on a swaypole and do th--- oh. .__.

  • He must have been scared to let his grammar slip like that in the interview! I've climbed up onto a twelve-foot pole--without looking down and wearing a climbing harness--and that was plenty terrifying in itself. Absolutely nuts, but impressive.

    I knew ahead of time that Al wasn't hurt, but that accordion... yikes!

  • ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME?

  • its funny at the end!!! LOL

  • Lol he knew the pole was gonna collapse, he got into position and signalled with his leg to let it drop. Still absolutely incredible tho, Weird Al is a legend! ^_^

  • SHUT UP!!! JuST SHUT UP!!! ~ doesn't that remind you of a music video?

  • OH MY GOD!!!!

  • I bet he had some adrenaline, look what he does after he runs off. and then after the sway pole breaks away: "OK YOU CAN STOP IT NOW"

  • OH JEEZ! was anyone else absolutely terrified and nervous watching this?

  • Yo! Weird Al's got some serious balls doing this! Holy shit!

    Weird Al rules!

  • LOL! Al tells hosts to SHUT UP!!

  • scary shit

  • he also kinda look slike hes from the circus to

  • DARE TO BE STUPID!

  • omg

  • He is the man of many talents, no?

  • I love the look the man gives the woman at 3:13, it's like he's saying 'Oh come on, bad jokes are fine but wtf was that?'

    The most heart-stopping few minutes of my life ever! Even worse than when I've actually done scary things, somehow watching Al do them was worse!

  • Go weird al!

  • The commentary was awful.

    But thats a crazy act. I thought this video was older than it is, I guess. I'm surprised I found it on youtube.

  • no way in hell. you couldnt pay me enough to do that.

  • Those reporters made the worst jokes ever.

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OMGOSH no matter how many times i watch it, and i know hes made it, it still makes me worry.

    5:04 that girl sceams, was that supposed to happen or was he supposed to do more tricks. if it was unexpected, i'm glad al hung on, he probably almost had a heart-attack.

    this has to the most amazing thing al has ever done.

  • That guy is crazy. But the best song writer in the wolrd

  • Stop smoking pot.

  • @TheKissFromARose So.... Just because you were alive then and the fact that you capitalize every word and forget punctuation means that this can not possibly be real?

    Then since I sometimes forget to capitalize some things, and that I'm alive,

    does that means that every video I've ever watched is fake???

  • He's so calm when he says that dying would increase record sales lol...

  • WOW!! Weird al has some seriously huge balls!! Who would have guessed? Pretty damn cool Mr. Weird Al!!!!

  • Shut up just SHUT UP! Weird Al will never die!

  • lol constipated

  • "SHUT UP!" LMAO!?

  • ok answer if ur good at math he is 55 feet in the air and he is 6 feet tall how high is he when he stands straight up?

  • 6 feet

  • it is either 61 feet or 55.

  • ok this is one of the coolest things ever. hes so brave...

  • So hammen it up at the end. LOL. Such a ham.

  • weard al is so cool

  • Don't feel bad, I think I saw this when I was in grade 1. I knew who he was back then though so I am kinda proud of that.

    I remember little bits of the show still, but not much.

  • Wow, I'm dating myself here, but I totally remember watching this on TV when I was in 4th grade, I loved it.

  • O_0

    I think I just poo'd myself

  • I wouldnt do that I think he trained a lot...

  • One of a kind! Luv Al!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Don't.....Don't even say that.

  • Gonna be a sad day for music when Al dies. :(

  • HE WILL NEVER DIE! >:)

  • omg I shit a brick O.O

  • That looks scarry to do

  • no write spam ty

  • funny but i dislike the chain letter concept

  • sorry had to try 1 wont happen again, it wont be ur best day as i thought, my hamster died

  • To me, this is one of the greatest moments ever on television.

  • I love 4:48 and 5:08

  • Shut uP JUST SHUT UP!

  • i love 3:22

  • "SHUT UP JUST SHUT UP!!" haha

  • Wow (o_0) This is crazy.........

  • hahahaha

    reporter:"The sway pole takes a lot of concentration"

    Al:"SHUT UP JUST SHUT UP!!"

  • hes got fuckin balls

  • i would never do that in a million years!!! i swear i would die!!!

  • holy crap!

  • I've seen it before but I still get all tense!

  • 55 FEAT in the air. holy crap!!!!

  • o love ow everyone gets scared when the ploe breaks lol. this was great

  • was this real?

  • It was as real as the air in front of your face.

  • Epic I love this! XDD

  • hahaahahah that landing is great how he ran into that guy

  • and he agreed to do this WHY? he is crazy, but you gotta love him

  • I really like Weird Al. How could he do this with no net or air bag? Downtown Julie Brown said there was no air bag or net. Amazing.

  • Let`s see Chris angel do this the exact same way Weird Al did!!

  • That's some stunt I'll never do in my life! That's crazy what he could do just to please his fans, really!

    ...And thank you KennyEazle for spoiling the surprise with that wishful crap of yours!

  • ha ha ha he told Alan Thicke to shut up XD

  • was this real??

  • Thats what i want to know.

  • you just saw it with your own eyes, you tell me

  • but seriously, no nets to fall into? what if he did fall? mucho ouchie..

  • he didn't fall. doesn't matter if there's a net.

  • It wouldve been even better if he shrieked in terror when the pole started to collapse

  • I think he probably had to change his pants after anyway, if you know what I mean.

  • whenever he 1st got up there he looked like he was thinking"what the fuck am i doing here"

  • god, if i was a circus worker or w/e, I would be so pissed at these guys, they make it look like any jackass with lke 5 min of training can walk a friggin tight rope.

  • Good thing JB was so hot...otherwise I'd have to punch her in her mouth

  • great vid

    ANY GUYS UP? RP

  • How amazing!

  • oh my gosh!! that was so scary!! i was like, "Oh no! My poor baby!!" but i knew he could do it!! i just knew he could!! hes so brave and talented!!! i was scared, but i knew he would make it!! he just HAD 2!!! im just glad my little angel is alright!!! :)

  • arent you really his MUUUUUMMMMMMM?????

    I neel at your dainty toes ...Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!

  • First time ive heard al speaking normally

  • I love it when Al runs over that guy at then end, I think this is one of the few times I've seen Al actually be half-way serious. (Who calls Weird Al Yankovic just 'Weird'?)

  • HE is IMMENCE

  • Just watching this made me extremely nervous!

  • me2 and i knew he didnt die

  • Al is really rather quiet and very polite.

  • lol

  • awesome!

  • I can't believe he did this. Al so ROCKS!!!!

  • i met weird al yankovic!!!!!!!! this summer i mean... not in the year that this was taken... but i met him!!!!! aaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!

  • What was he like? Was he as awesome as he is displayed?

  • u saw there was a matress under but if u look at his feet u see that even tho there was a matress he would of died if he fell couse from that hight right dont on that think matress.....it kinda doesnt help and i do beleave its true that he realy did it anyone could do it with some praktice it isnt that hard just to klimb upp a stick and swing so its kinda just to hold on

  • haha to you who thinks its fake. he was asked about it an interview and he says its 100% real and that he actually did almost fall when he was practising it.

    and even if it was a green screen, he's still on the sway pole, isnt he?

  • Yeah, but he had padding below or something. I read it in an interview once. It's blatantly obvious by the quality that they superimposed his image of that city scene. Plus, he's hanging from it sideways at one point.

  • @xlegionx: It's blatantly obvious by the quality that youtube ruins videos. This was all real, trust me on this. I have some very reliable sources. Al isn't allowed to do this anymore though.

  • no way was that 55 foot up, lol more like 100

  • Weird Al the Stuntman!

  • hope the accordion wasn't expensive

  • why does everyone keep on posting this? I tried it and all I got was nothing

  • WOW!!! man, i could never do that... WEIRD AL RULES THE WORLD!!! (i hate that lady's pants..)

  • what a treasure. love you Al!

  • "Shut up just shut up" XD 3:30

  • No fucking way. I didn't know Weird Al could get any more badass.

  • GO AL!!!

    Lol, this video was posted on my birthday. XD

  • Everyone who said that this made them think of 'Dare to be Stupid', I made a video of it! It will be posted as a video response when the person who posted this video approves it.

  • I know the girl who bought the pants Al wore for this at AlCon III. I think they went for $500. I have this footage on video tape, and teh first time I saw it, I was extremely nervous for him. He was freaking 55 feet above ground!! Someone else already said this, but I'll repeat it. He was told after this that he is not allowed to do anything dangerous like this again. But, wow. It sure was amazing. Love ya, Al!

  • And he does it all wearing pink. Al rocks!!!

  • OMG... was it really that serious??? He could have died!!! Thank God it went well, He's awfully brave

  • AWESOME!!! GO AL!!!!

    Weird Al rules!!

    I cant believe he could do this! :O

    what a brave one :)

  • lolz funniest part when he sais SHUT UP!!!!! xD

  • holy  that was an amazing stunt ...

  • Go Al!

  • well then i will thanks for the....tip......i guess.....

  • wow! i love the bit when he yells shaddup! id crap myself if i did that!

  • he should go for the breaking watermalons with your head world record, people would love that.

  • weird al is so fuckin' brave i would shit myself doing this:D!!!

  • lol he runs into a guy when he gets off XD

  • Lol yeah XD He seems to enjoy doing that...I was able to do that when I was about 7...but now I'm too un-flexible to do it. v.v makes me sad, I'm gonna try to be able to do it again though ^.^

  • oooh, im so envious!

    But yeah, hes a really nice, down to earth guy. He'll do anything for his fans (well, almost anything)

    Legend!

  • yes your right he does sound like a nice guy =) i've always wanted to meet him =( but i dont think ill ever get the chance. weird al rocks!!! so talented and just plain AWOSOME!

  • O.o Holy crap! Al's good! XD I could never, ever do that...he really is weird, having all the talents he has! Ya never know what he's gonna do next...

  • unicycle across a string over a volcano

  • I wouldn't be surprised...heck, I'm even surprised his insurance allowed him to do this swaypole act! With how popular he is today, I don't think they'll let him do another circus act like this again...at least one that's not life-threatening.

  • Al just gained like, 100 more points of respect from me for that thing. Nice one, Al!

  • hey, Jamesatwar, lets see you even go UP something like that without passing out! Ya jerk!

  • Al looked cooler before he had the LASIK surgery

  • i think he was cuter before his LASIK eyes surgury but he does still looke cool now. =)

  • that is awsome weird al is mabey my fav singer in all time exelent

  • XD "shut up! just shut up!" hes so funny!

  • he`s a great man...100% talent :)

  • Jeeze, that scared me! Even though it's OBVIOUS from the beginning he isn't going to fall, cause he is still alive, ITS SCARY!

  • I'm sorry James, but it takes more to become popular then trashing the person that is popular. Your music isn't bad, so I'd highly recommend you get your stuff on the Dr Demento show (if you haven't already)

    After that, just see what comes your way. Put out a few cds, see if you can get into a few shows, etc.

    On the other hand, you keep trashing my current favorite, and I dont think I'll be making any effort to listen to you.

  • holy fuck that was an amazing stunt ...i never thought weird al can really have guts to do it...he`s awesome!!!!

  • where al shouts SHUT UP (03:30) is priceless. And may I say Al got some balls to do those stunts

  • wow, al u rock!

  • holy crap, that had me scared. Al, you are completely insane.

  • yes i agree. a man of VERY many talents.

  • now thats a man of many tallents

  • watching this im reminded of his song "dare to be stoopid"
