    If you don’t know who this guy is please watch the VERY funny videos below.


    I don't know if any of you are old enough to know who this guy is, but I’ve only just re-discovered his talents and is by far the funniest parodist on the planet! I first discovered him back when I was 9 or 10 a friend of mine brought Al’s first feature film back form the video rental shop (UHF), after that I was round a friends house watching MTV when the 'I’m Fat' video was broadcasted on MTV and we laughed our heads off. I just wish he would tour the UK, I would be the first one to buy a ticket.


    This video is the one the got me into Al back when I was young nipper.





    Some of you might be familiar with this one, 'White & Nerdy' was a top 10 hit for Al




    This is my personal favorite, A Saga beings.




    Please all feel free to add your thoughts and tell us what you think is his best parody.

    And what’s ironic about that parody is that probably no Amish has ever seen that video or heard that song.

    He has released a new version of that "polkarama" on every album he releases. Or at least all the ones I have (the last four). They always have the popular songs of the previous year or two.

    Yeah, he cracks me up. I've gotta give him my vote for being a funny lyricist... cuz he is.
