"Weird Al" Yankovic - Dare To Be Stupid

[MishMash250]

Oh how I love this, great song, and amaaazing film clip. So many references to Devo clips and images! I can only imagine how fun it would have been to sit down with a whole lot of Devo material and try to plan how to cram as many references into one film clip as possible. =D

[ater43]

128 people are stupid

[RedDaggerXL]

the 'yes' at 2:20 is epic

[mwjanu1]

128 people are stupid

[245cjh245cjh]

what song is this a parody off exactly

[J3DandKr15]

@245cjh245cjh Style parody of Devo.

[AntBelch]

Transformers Ftw.

[AhahahaFail]

What is this song pariding

[Jayui22]

@AhahahaFail

It's paroding Devo.

[hopperock1]

gay

[Jayui22]

@hopperock1

Why do you say it's gay?

It's awesome.

[Dinkydau00]

This song is stupid.

[Jayui22]

@Dinkydau00

You're the stupid.

[Dinkydau00]

@Jayui22 No, you are the supid. It was a compliment. Saying this song is stupid is a compliment because the song was meant to be stupid and it's all about beign stupid.

[Jayui22]

@Dinkydau00

But you reamin stupid though.

[Dinkydau00]

@Jayui22 aww

[Jayui22]

@Dinkydau00

Are you hurt?

Why did you say aww?

[romehalt]

In an interview on VH1's Behind The Music, Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh stated in reaction to the song that: "I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else and, umm ... I hate him for it, basically."

[hotelmario510]

This is a parody of Devo through and through: Devo's songs tell you NOT to be stupid. This song tells you TO be stupid.

[BonominHabbo]

I love the movie in which we hear this song and when ... Optimus Prime Dies. TRANSFORMERS

[Sleepingwithghosts93]

@BonominHabbo

Kudos for liking The Transformers, but this song plays after Ultra Magnus dies.

[666GuitarMania666]

This is the best Devo song never written...

[ArchaicWarlock777]

126 people are stupid

[stephen19590]

imagine watching this high!

[Pawnbroker00]

@stephen19590 high on speed would be even better lol

[LerakKcirtapEimaj]

the last minute or so is just like the intro from samurai pizza cats

[ShadowScythe12]

1:29

all of us have done that before

[eliawesome87]

@jwavada no i meant wat song iz he copying

[ThatGamer360]

@eliawesome87 He's copying Devo, as a style parody. It's a slight parody of Deep Sleep from "Oh No! It's Devo!" but if you REALLY wanna know, LOOK AT WIKIPEDIA!

[666GuitarMania666]

@eliawesome87 its basically a parady of every devo song written up to 85

[VecTron5]

It could only have been more epic if it ended in an explosion.

[22nooblet]

@VecTron5 Everything'd be more epic if it ended in an explosion.

Especially Twilight, if it kills everyone.

[BashyMcBashBash]

Hardcore Devo spud here.

I consider this not just a parody, but a Devo song.

[DanteTrishVergil]

lol,i heard this song from Transformers.....

[TheUltimateRiku]

This dude has some WEIRD dreams :D

[TheUltimateRiku]

Lmao this video is awesome XD

[Scike]

I wanna be a coffee achiever.

[Reepz00]

"I cant hear you (Dare to be stupid)

Okay I can hear you now (Dare to be stupid)"

I crack up every time I hear that

[Bandwhorefreak]

The perfect Devo parody. So beautiful. :D

[ThatGamer360]

@Bandwhorefreak The perfect Devo SONG, as said by Devo ITSELF!

[LoafofCat]

wish i had dreams like this

[TheGlambertgurl101]

[misanthrope013]

[Ravagefrenzy79]

mashed potaoes can be your friend

[Boleniana]

Can't believe it's taken me THIS LONG in my life to watch this video. It is AWESOME! And the song is HILARIOUS. I think it's going to be my life's theme song.

[DemonClaw83]

Why be cool, when you could be an idiot, me get brick

[ladinoris]

fav song

wat is it making fun of though like wat song

[Jourell1]

@ladinoris It isn't any one specific song. Its original, parodying the general style of the band Devo.

[alajet]

@ladinoris its just like a parody/tribute to devo

not taken off one particular song but just devo's style in general

[ladinoris]

fav song

[rangergxi]

Bad weed?

[hatedwayne]

I heard from the news this song is being considered by Afghanistan to be their national anthem.

[stephen19590]

@hatedwayne realy?

[oceangroupgamer2k9]

@hatedwayne lmfao

[Sambucacat]

To Achieve Greatness. You must first look foolish to the Crowd- Confusis.

[physicsbugga]

[btunaa]

[Masterbaterbear]

[MexicanGnomes]

Weird Al is awesome, Devo is awesome, this song made makes lose 20 IQ points with awesomeness every time I watch it.

[Aloradelyda]

fucking bed bugs hurt when they bite.

[Preditor117]

1:34-1:57 what it's like to be high, lol

[amethyst42]

1:30

LOL

[SDMF1234]

Only cool thing about this was that it was in the Original Transformers. Yes the cartoon movie. Ba weep grana weep neenee baum-----wonder who will actually get that.

[Preditor117]

@SDMF1234

me. as a small child, I watched this movie literally dozens of times. Being born more than a decade before the start of the Transformers franchise, I am often left depressed at the thought I'll never know the joy of having grown up with the series, among other things I wish I had known in my childhood. Thank god for my Uncle though, he is a HARDCORE fan of 80's cartoons and video games, including Transformers.

[tacoboyable]

@SDMF1234 ba weep grana weep neenee baum! -passes energon candy- greetings

[crazyfooInc]

I can't stop listening to this song! ^_^

[JPLGDAPL]

1:16 Is that a dick?

[ArtsuMolaRam]

@JPLGDAPL

No, it's actually someone's chin. They drew an upside-down face on their chin, put on a miniature costume upside down over their face, and just started talking.

[amethyst42]

@JPLGDAPL

Its a chin  ._.

[Dstorm20xx]

Shooting this video must have been a blast.

[Aloradelyda]

i totally put ice cream on my head

[darkdorkninja]

126 people missed the like button

[x30secondstorm]

1:33 almost passed without me realizing what was wrong.

[pjb1983]

Devo said this is the song they wish they had made.

Weird Al is more SPUD that the Spud Boys themselves!

Bravo Al!

[Zoroark93]

I dare to be stupid!

[BodybaggzTheClown9]

wat song is this a parody of?

[98WoWhead]

@BodybaggzTheClown9 i dont think its a parody

[massivecomplexity]

@98WoWhead of course it is thats what al does

[Alashdur]

@massivecomplexity not always, I believe this was an Al original

[ThomysYo]

@98WoWhead It is a parody of Devo

[SteveJ2008]

@98WoWhead A lot of times, instead of parodying a specific song, Al will do a song that parodies the general "sound" of a certain artist. This is one of those songs, it's supposed to sound like a Devo song.

[Sparkonetwo]

Does anybody know what the clip of the couple getting married underwater is taken from?

[MegaMattcar]

this vid is the weiredest one + lol at 2:42

[senso1685]

Attack of the Mr. Potato Heads! EVERYONE RUN!

[FlCl3000]

[123smcook]

[mewmewtransbliss]

[Connorpei]

I first heard this in the transformer movie! Ah the memories

[berinsocal]

this takes me back!

[shikamaru526]

What was this guy on?

I want some...

[Rinneganpein389295]

This is why he lost on Jeopardy XD

[crypto279]

why do i feel like i relate to this song?

[JohnnyLovely2]

hahahaha He even talked about potatoes, that's one of the most important things you'd have to do if you were gonna parody Devo. And I assume that guy with the pipe is supposed to be "Bob" Dobbs. rofl he combined all the Devo videos into one

[dudto142]

dare to be stupid! YES!

[scarface77121]

I can't believe this song was on the 1986 "Transformers" movie.

[vistar411]

@scarface77121 Then, as if to come full circle, HE WAS WRECK-GAR IN ANIMATED!

[210Dinero]

you heard the good man go crazyxD

[smearyllama]

Mark Mothersbaugh said that this is a perfect Devo song, and that he respects and hates Al for doing it.

[suspecthalo]

lol at 1:24 because my poptarts popped up at te same time XD

[lovexhumiliatesxyou]

Mashed potatos can be my friends? I'm oficially the luckiest person in the world then.

[izjhwwetna123]

[WCoDWa]

Dare to be Stupid!

[Millesy98]

its his moto aswell

[Mummi5ed]

you heard the man get in the microwave

[TheDethstar13]

@Mummi5ed NO!

[slickjackrabbit]

Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh said when he first saw the video he cried at it's beauty and decided that it was the perfect Devo song and there was nothing left for him in the band to create, so he quit Devo.

[arnoldshwartzanegger]

We can be stupid all night!

[Jvarls14]

Don't look behind door #2 Monty, its time to play end of the line my valentine! Geroni do ron ron roni moooooooooh

[DewittDude989]

is this a parody or a orinigal

[randomprimeval]

my head does need a tan

[Sambucacat]

@randomprimeval But, don't you want to sit at home and watch Leave it to Beaver? A wholesome show of puritanical morals and purity?

[DrPillowPaper]

This was President Bush's theme song...

[CelticthunderRules]

lol love this song great when it starts playing in the 1980s transformers movie

[3D6425]

This is an AWESOME music video

[98hellraiser]

AAAHHHH UN HERE COMES MR.WIFFLES!!!

[alexjojo07]

[ian2813]

This is one of the most brilliant music videos ever made. Weird Al is a genius.

[family171]

[mallaryduck]

WE ARE DEVO

[NewYorkDontLoveMe]

[cursedrainbow]

@NewYorkDontLoveMe

Most likely Devo.

[trixieann8176]

i like the potato heds

[TheRockstarsRock]

Haha!

I love this!

[CDT12177]

omg this was my favorite song when i was 12 lmao

[pikapika1424]

AWESOMENESS WEIRD AL FTW!!!!

[BlueCollarTweeker]

This would've been a great Devo song.

[tiger33511]

If that guy is dreaming that shit I want to know what he's smoking

[ToServeArmadillo]

ARE WE NOT MEN?

[WolfKill01]

Lol. TRANSFORMERS FTW!!!

[tranformerssasuke743]

funny as funny can be

[arnoldshwartzanegger]

The 104 people who don't like This probably are already stupid, they don't like Al yelling at them to do something they already did.

[PeacefulStrawberry]

check out my song of hope that my brother and I made up, truly heartbreaking. Sure to bring a tear to your eye -PS

[iarewanthungry]

ummm... favorite person? yes

[pikapika1424]

124 need to get a life

[Falcor097]

Weird Al FTW!

[TyluhhxSuicidal]

2:30 is sooooooooooooooooooooo gross!!!

[AzureAlight]

@TyluhhxSuicidal the banana, the accordion, or the suit?

[Bern938]

Parody of stupidity, and stupid sayings in English, but in the style of Devo.

"Get you mojo working now- I'll show you how" and "you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free."

If you don't understand it from there, you probably won't.

[brachphotos]

Interocitor!

[PorygonthePokemon]

@NRLWARRIORSFTW It's a stlye parody of Devo.

[albertpesker]

i did all the things this song told me to do and you know what i became? a ROBOT NAZI WEREWOLF FROM OUTER SPACE IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!! XD

[heresthadude1080]

@albertpesker SO EPIC!!!!!

[Hypermyte]

i like the girl on the vibrating belt!! =)

[MultiHydralisk]

Dare to be stupid!

BE EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

[AlistairAI]

*it's like spinning on a fish* that's AL

[pivotman64]

@AlistairAI he said spitting not spinning

[Richthofen80]

@AlistairAI I think he said 'spitting on a fish'. Which makes sense. Why would you spit on a fish, it's no substitute for the water it needs to be in to survive.

[AlistairAI]

@Richthofen80 my mistake...

[anotherbeatlefreak]

lol some of that stuff looks fun, actually :DD

[CDDCX]

this song reminds me of bachelor party for some reason

[CristoffandFriends]

If this isn't 1985, I don't know what is...

[NRLWARRIORSFTW]

dont have a clue who weird al is mocking

[Chrno216]

This is about congress isn't it?

[ibloedel]
