  • strangly enough this song IS in the movie... no idea why..i guess they found it had a nie beat and tossed it in...becuase of this, in the new cartoon, Al voices Wreck-gar. and makes the comment " I Dare to be stupid!"

  • not to mention him playing an accordian, which Al is a player since 7, and his moustache is designed after Al's

    I guess dare to be stupid is like the Junkion's theme music, it kinda fits them.

    An oldie but goodie.

  • Hey! Al's got an interocitor! How's Exeter and Brak doing?

  • I just noticed that too! "I have a bet with Joe, is this metal?"

  • @siefertma

    Last time I saw Brak he was taking a shower on an unlisted interociter number...

  • stick your head in your microwave and give yourself a tan lmao

  • Its got to be hard to put that strain on his voice to make it sound like that.

  • YAY TRANSFORMERS! Love this song! Congrats on Wreckgar Al! Your really good for him!

  • He is Wreck-Gar! HE DARES TO BE STUPID!

  • This song was used in Transformers: The Movie (1986)

  • One of al's songs used in a Film. Anyone else know what film this was in? I know want to know if yo know!

  • uhf?

  • Nope. Clue - its from the origonal version of a block buster film out this year. The origonal im refering too is about 23 years old.

  • This is among the five best music videos of all time.

  • this song is not a parody, it's an AL original done in the style of DEVO

  • it could also apply to bush jr.

  • what song is a parody of?

  • ROFLOL!!!!!

  • this song should have been in epic moive and meet teh spartens=p

  • the whole video coulda just been people voting for bush... yes i mean sr.

  • Watch "Epic Movie"!

  • Catchy and weird....

  • Hello, he's "WEIRD AL", not "Ordinary Al" or "Normal Al", but "Weird Al"

  • I was watching the Transformers movie, not the recent one, but the animated one that came out in the 80's and this song started playing during one of the fight scenes. Most innapropriate choice of music ever.

  • wuts this a parody of again?

  • Devo

  • I loved the bedbugs. They look so cute. :D

  • Whooooooooo Dare to be Stupid lol So Catchy

  • And they all ride off into the sunset on plastic cows. This guy is a genius, I tell you!

  • its those little things he puts in these videos that make u go "why is that there "

  • Ok I can hear you now! XD

  • Must have.. one of those jump suits...

  • WOOT DARE TO BE STUIPID

    lets go spit on fish everybody

  • They should have put Wreck-Gar in the movie instead of Skids and Mudflap. Would have made more sense and would have been a great homage to G1. XD

  • what if a loner?

  • they need this song in reveng of the fallen... id flip out if they did... lol

  • yeah, in fact the first time I heard it was in Transformers the movie (1986)

  • straight men take gay to be an insult, so they often call other people who are annoying them to be gay, its the same as if you were to call someone stupid, you mean to make it so they become a little embarrassed and stop spamming.

    and SavageBezerkEclipse, it seems like you started this whole thing because that guy was just doing what he thought he had to do to stop that guy from spamming.

  • great vid

  • Comment removed

  • I wish I had a toaster guitar :(

    just say weird al rocks. spam is gay.

  • um we said gay not homo....... and its been gay and homosexual since its invention cause it tries to feel on all the other comments LOL ok go be queer with some other videos you creep

  • Uhmm, Gay doesnt mean stupid you silly little nit, and Spam is food and irritating, open your mind to other stuff, now, how am I a creep? I have done nothing to be labeled a creep, though i am weird, cause queer means weird :D, so thanks for the compliment, you troublesome pest!

  • Comment removed

  • How am I a screwed up Person?Th3planetgost said SPAM IS "GAY" It usually refers to "STUPID" That is why I asked Since when is Spam Homosexual? Since GAY does not mean STUPID, and I don't care if you used QUEER in the Literal sense of HOMOSEXUAL, it has two meanings, though the most correct meaning is "weird" you'd know that if you weren't an Illiterate as you have labeled me, Pitiful, You're a troublesome pest because you started a giant argument on my post, Jeeze,

  • agreed, but gay doesnt mean stupid

  • Lets go!!!

  • this is the golden rule to live by : DARE TO BE STUPID

  • fav out of all of them

  • I just realized this:

    Look = Devo suits, mechanical movements

    Lyrics = doing something new, Don't follow conformity, "Dare To Be Stupid"

    Song Style = Reference to Devo's "New Traditionalists" and "Oh No, It's DEVO"

    I love this video... and the song.

    Thank you Al!

  • I'm fairly sure there was a drop dead fred reference in that

  • This is the perfect song paroding the generally stupid 80's songs

  • This song was in the 86 Transformers Movie.

  • i am going to have nightmares tonight

  • go cowboy go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love Devo and I love Wierd Al, so this is just awesome.

  • It does look like Craig T Nelson with the soda.

  • I just figured out that he is making fun of Devo in this video.

  • It is in the style of Devo, but it is hardly "making fun" of them. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

  • yeah, even devo said it was "the perfect devo song"

  • what song is this making fun of?

    lol!

  • You. Me. Everybody.

    If you mean parody - it isn't - it is an original.

  • ooooooooooh!!!

    ok!

  • My fave Weird Al video of all time.

  • in lipsync! the other vid wasnt in sync this is tho ^.^

  • I dare to be stupid every day of my life without intending to...yay me! *claps*

    Most awesome vid I've ever seen, EPIC.

  • For years I've had a cheap DVD collection of Al's 90's vids, and this one was always my very favorite of all of them. It's so frenetic and random and a perfect tribute to Devo.

    STILL GOOD.

    Love you AL!

  • This is one of the most random songs I've ever heard. I love it!!! LOL

  • ULLLLLLTRA MAGNUS!!!

  • Poptart Guitar for the win!

  • I love how they say "Dare to be ST00PID!" I wonder how many lawsuits Weird Al's gotten from the stoopid people imitating this? I'm fave-ing this!

  • im puttin this on my ipod

  • i am wreck-gar i dare to be stupid!

  • ba weep granna weep nini-bon

  • Ba weep granna weep nini-bon?

  • No, is

    "Bar wheep graagnah wheep nee-nee bang".

  • brilliant video! stupid... but brilliant!

  • this song fits perfectly for George W. Bush.

    its his theme song!!!!

  • more like Bill Clinton's theme song.

  • you must be a REPUBLICAN then

  • No I'm independant, but I know Bill Clinton was not a good president.

  • well, that's what you think...but i think he's a better president than George W. Bush. He may have made some bad choices in the past but at least he run the country with no problems.

  • Pff George Bush didn't sell secrets to China, and he didn't take documents out of the National Archives.

  • But when Clinton was president, at least we had a surplus of money.

    Total opposite of what we got now. And don't say "Bush inherited a recession," cuz I've heard that a lot. He also didn't send untrained troops to Iraq to search for nuclear weapons that didn't exist, killing

    thousands of innocent people. He also didn't hide the fact that we were secretly torturing

    people in prison to get information about terrorists.

  • I agree with that, but the thing is torturing prisoners to get information that could save lives is no worse than the fact that the terrorists we are fighting hide among the civilians and use them as human shields.

  • oh stfu all ready!

  • you summed up both of their presidencies.

  • They should use this in Transformers more often. And hopefully, soon.

  • This cracks me up!

  • stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan

  • Also, this is the perfect Devo song.

  • In 2008...Err, 9 you can be dare-ier and stupider than ever...er!

  • I never realized before this song that 'mashed potatoes can be your friends'!

    Better whip myself up a big batch! This song ROCKS!

  • Oh Mister Goodbar? Where the hell is he...

  • omg.....roflmfao

  • funny but creepy

  • "Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan" LOL XD

    Weird Al is one of the best musicians. He's plain genius.

  • This song was used in The Transformers: The Movie (1986) during the seen with Wreck-Gar and the Junkions. Wreck-Gar actually said in the Transformers Animated cartoon "I'm Wreck-Gar, I DARE TO BE STUPID".

  • I always associated this song with Transformers. I had no idea it was a parody of D E V O.

  • Only the style of the song is a parody of Devo's style. It's not actually a parody of any particular song and is an original song. And I always picture Wreck-Gar and the Junkions breakdancing to this song.

  • Hey, do you know what 'Bah-weep-granah-weep-ninny-bo­n' means? Apparently it can bring hilarious comedic effects.

  • it means Weird Al is awesome let's be friends

  • Sorry, I don't accept friend requests. I wrote that on my channel page. Don't be mad. Nothing personal, it's just the kind of person I am. I can be nice, but not friends.

  • Whoah, I got 7 thumbs up even though I only explained this song's relation to Transformers without telling anyone how good it was.

  • This was released on the soundtrack for the first Transformers movie

  • I dare!

  • This song totally explains me!

  • Great...The Joker has escaped from Arkham and now he's on Youtube.

  • Come on, dare to be stupid!!!

  • It's so easy to do!

    Were all waiting for you!

  • This is my favorite weird al song to sing!

  • I dare to be stupid!

  • 1:24 Best guitar EVER!!! :D

  • sit at home and watch leave it to beaver!lol

  • "You better squeeze all the Charmin you can when Mr. Whipple's not around." I remember this video from the 80's, I love it! Brilliant parody of Devo! I remember an interview with Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo saying he was jealous that Weird Al nailed the exact keyboard sound that he'd been trying to get for years.

  • Al you did it again....AWSOME

  • Ah, fond memories of 7th grade goofing around and dreaming of MEETING Weird Al....

    My little gal pals and I thought there should have been a Weird Al edition Swatch also!

  • rofl I haven't seen "Cooties" (the bedbugs) for ages!

  • Icant hear u ok i can hear u now

  • go devo lol

  • OMG????

  • Wonder if Al really runs this profile?

  • lol at 1:00 lol the machine is fucking her

  • I love the part when they're riding on the cows!

  • dare to be stupid!

  • For a piece of completely useless trivia, the machine Al is working @ 1:00 is called an "anerociter" and is from the movie "This Island Earth". It was also from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie.

    The best line from the MST3K movie is "I'm gonna ram my ovapositer down your throat and lay my eggs in your chest....But I'm not an alien!"

  • I'm surprised people know and remember that movie! That movie had a lot of memorable lines, but yeah that was one of the funniest!

  • People the song is suppose to be stupid, if you want something smart look for ''Dare to be smart''

  • The songs supposed to be dumb, in a funny way.

  • my theme song
