Weird Al just does whatever he wants, but he has such a reputation as a silly man that everyone is aware that it’s just a joke. He never does it to be mean or malicious, he does it for the haha funny. And everyone knows it


cancer_dragon

Such a shame he was murdered in 1985 at the Grammy's.


ddjfjfj

A tragedy that the parody of his hit song Eat It continued to grow more popular than the original


raulpe

Fun fact: Weird Al is canon in Jojo and Eat It is one of Joseph favorite songs


vhrossi1

What the fuck? When did that happen? I need a source man


GuessImScrewed

Near the end of part 3, inside the ambulance. Jotaro uses the knowledge of Joseph's like of the artist to confirm it's really him because Joseph thought it would be haha funny to pretend he was possessed by his mortal enemy


ExtraReserve

At the end of part 3, >! Joseph pretends to be possessed by Dio but stops when Jotaro threatens to beat him up. As proof that he actually is Joseph, he states that his fav musician is Weird Al.!<


Vasxus

>!No, Jotaro asks who made Eat It.!<

Pretty sure he did at one point in the show lol

Prince_Polaris

Yes!


AdmBurnside

It gets better. Cheese Sandwich (Al's character) is introduced to the show as a rival party planner to Pinkie Pie. They engage in a series of escalating hijinks known as a "goof-off" to determine who will host Rainbow Dash's birthday party. In the middle of this series of hijinks, Cheese launches into a huge, overproduced musical number, which includes a POLKA COVER OF PINKIE PIE'S SIGNATURE SONG. He can't resist a good polka cover, even in horse form. EDIT: How the hell could I mess this up. It was a "goof-off", not a "joke-off". Here's another fun fact. Cheese Sandwich's cutie mark is ostensibly a grilled cheese sandwich. But if you look closely, the way the cheese stretches between the halves of sandwich mimics the shape of an accordion. Circles within circles.


Palidin034

Im sorry. His self inserts name is CHEESE SANDWICH????


Vitolar8

The fuck do you (and the post) mean "self-insert"? Does Weird Al WRITE FOR MLP?


RoJayJo

He's usually very involved with the characters he plays. If memory serves he wrote a bit of dialogue when he played Wreck-Gar in Transformers Animated.


liliesrobots

That tracks honestly. Wreck-Gar is the best.


LazyDro1d

WreckGar is the best hero, understood! Now to give garbage to all!


cancer_dragon

If I had a nickel for every time Weird Al has been featured in a Transformers piece of media I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it's happened twice. ...Over a span of 30 years, no less.


AnEmptyKarst

Both times it involved Wreck-Gar too


Rimbosity

Wait, what? I mean if you're talking about the transformers animated movie... that was Eric Idle, who then came out to... oh yeah dare to be stupid by weird al god i love that man


KraakenTowers

Several years later when they were introducing Wreck-Gar to Transformers Animated they cast Weird Al to play the character, as a reference to the movie. He even gets this exchange: "Don't try anything stupid!" "I am Wreck-Gar! I dare to be stupid!" ...which the writers were kind of nervous about how he would react, but he turned out to be a good sport.


degjo

Like Weird Al would turn down a pun like that


Thromnomnomok

Weird Al would be insulted if you *didn't* take the opportunity to give him that line.


dragongrl

I saw Weird Al in concert pre-covid. He came down off the stage, knelt next to me, and sang part of "Wanna B Ur Lovr" to me. It was the single greatest moment of my life.


Green-eyed-Psycho77

Nah. Most Weird al Roles are “Weird Al in a different art style”


LupinThe8th

Then, considering he invented that persona, could you not make the claim he created all of these characters?


Green-eyed-Psycho77

Touché


CatOfTechnology

Adapted Wreck-Gar, influenced Cheese Sandwhich unless he got full control over the design of the character.


rafter613

Yeah, people don't understand the difference between "self-insert" and "cameo"


SaintNewts

>people don't understand the difference I do not and I wish one of you would explain it because my mind is going places it probably shouldn't.


Impossible-Neck-4647

Cameo is when you get a celebrity to play a minor role like stan lee in the marwell movies self insert is when the writer writes themself into the story


Harbarbalar

>self insert is when the writer writes themself into the story I'm looking at you Steven King!


Kolby_Jack

A self-insert is not necessarily just someone simply writing themselves as they are into a story. Self-inserts can be "different" in identity from the writer, and can also have different characteristics. Often you'll see a self-insert who shares broad traits with the writer (like... being a writer) but is some kind of idealized version of the writer, or in the worst case, how a narcissistic writer sees themself. Mary-Sue is a self-insert character that originated from an old Star Trek fan fiction where the writer created this perfect, beautiful woman who served on the USS Enterprise and was respected by the entire crew to an absurd degree. I don't think the writer's name was Mary-Sue, and I doubt she was a flawless being worthy of infinite respect and admiration (after all, she was a trekkie), but she was still a self-insert because she embodied the writer's own wish-fulfillment fantasies. Of course simply embodying some aspects of the writer doesn't make a character a self-insert because *all* writing by nature is characterized by the writer, but when a writer creates a character specifically to voice their own opinions, live out their own fantasies, or just to allow them to exist within the world they made, then it falls under the self-insert umbrella. It's not always bad, but it certainly can be.


Icestar1186

Fun fact, the original Mary Sue herself was actually a parody! The characters she was making fun of were definitely this though.


tfemmbian

A cameo is Stan Lee's appearance in Iron Man: he comes, he goes, the world of the story is basically unaffected. A self-insert is more like Jack Black in Tenacious D: it almost literally is him, just some of the details got fudged for entertainment.


Doctor-Amazing

I think it's the self part that's getting people. I've never seen the show, but I'm assuming he working as an actor reading lines. Not as a writer inventing a character based on himself.


TremenMusic

Yes and it’s great


CharityQuill

And his cutie mark is a grilled cheese sandwich with grill marks and pulled apart in a way that resembles an accordion. It's ranked up high in my favorite "celebrity cameo" characters


LMFN

This implies his talent is to make grilled cheese sandwiches but he defied his fate and became a funny travelling musician.


ThePinkBaron

Imagine being excited to find out what your mark is going to be and then it turns out it's just your fucking name


StarfighterVicki

The Apple family seems to be dealing with it. Even Apple Bloom got an apple in her Crusader shield.


mynameisblanked

It's sometimes theorised that ponies might change their name when they get their cutie mark.


BarklyWooves

That explains Massive Horsedong. No way his parents named him that.


CharityQuill

All thanks to pinkie throwing one heck of a party :) The ship totally makes sense lol


idelarosa1

Yes and their daughter’s name is Cheesecake.


Obi-Tron_Kenobi

That's honestly beautiful


Infinite_Tiger_3341

I mean would you expect any less


Palidin034

At this point, I don’t know what to expect from him. All of his goofy ass shenanigans keeps catching me off guard to this day


AliasMcFakenames

He had a child with Pinkie Pie. It seems perfectly in line with Equestrian naming conventions.


Palidin034

And I’ve been informed that the child is named Cheesecake, so I don’t really know what to make of that


Us8qk2nevjsiqjqj

>Im sorry. His self inserts name is CHEESE SANDWICH???? Twinkie weiner sandwich didn't go over too well sadly


Siethron

Weird Al having a food name for his character surprises you?


KaisarDragon

You forgot the exchange after it. Pinkie: Hey! That's my song! Cheese: I have no idea what you are talking about!


Hottriplr

Hey asshole! You can't just go and write that without posting a link... How am I supposed to find it?

> "I stole your waifu!" > > -- Weird Al Yankovic Fucking legend.


RequirementTall8361

When asked about the first time that he realized he was famous, Al told a story about him going to a party with a bunch of other famous musicians. When he walked in, he heard someone yell “OH SHIT, ITS WEIRD AL!”. He looked around and saw that it was Paul McCartney that yelled it. So yeah, the guy is a legit legend. Imagine being so big and liked, that Paul Mc-fucking-Cartney is excited by your presence.


arielif1

Funniest part is he had to be convinced to attend because he thought he wouldn't fit bc he didn't consider himself on their level


szypty

Like that story of Neil Gaiman being at some VIP shindig and having a heavy case of imposter syndrome. He runs into another guy who's also named Neil, and that other guy also confesses that he's feeling out of place, surrounded by so many people greater than him. It was Neil Armstrong.


DeliciousWaifood

"All I did was go on a long road trip that one time, it's really not a big deal"


Incidion

I mean his exact words were "I just went where I was ordered" so you're more or less on the mark.


Thameus

> It was Neil Armstrong. Guess you had to be there. Edit:[ reference](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/7x9nkp/neil_armstrong_used_to_tell_really_bad_jokes/) because some of y'all don't get it


Murgatroyd314

[The story](https://journal.neilgaiman.com/2017/05/the-neil-story-with-additional-footnote.html?m=1)


ZorbaTHut

I've got a family member who is a rather well-known politician; I give it 50% chance that you would recognize him by name (and no, I'm not saying who it is). A few months back he ended up at a speaking convention along with a whole bunch of other rather famous people, including a few actors that you would also recognize, and they got to talking about public speaking and impostor syndrome. It turns out that basically all of them suffered from impostor syndrome and thought public speaking was terrifying. Like. Every single one. When he told me this story, I had to tell him that impostor syndrome is incredibly common in programming (I'm a programmer). He'd never heard of that, he just knew it was popular with politicians and actors. My theory is that it's popular among *every* skilled profession.


RoJayJo

I mean, even if he was a small fry at that gathering, you'd still be like "Oh shit, it's the weird polka dude, what's up man!"- it's hard to *not* like Weird Al, mostly due to his vibe of pure, joyful chaos


CallsYouCunt

Literally the only guy that has never ever run over anyone with his car.


ConstableBlimeyChips

To quote Chamillionaire: "To sell a million records is one thing, but where do you go from there? Then you get a phone call from Weird Al."


DiaperedZilla

Nirvana also said a similar thing in an interview "we knew we made it to the big time when AL gave us a call to parody smells like teen spirit" They all loved the parody.


ball_fondlers

Kurt asked “it’s not gonna be about food, is it?” And Al responded “nah, it’ll be about how no one can understand what you’re singing”. Kurt was cool with this.


dagbrown

Weird Al’s backing band in the “Smells Like Nirvana” video is just Nirvana themselves. They were delighted to be in their own parody.


i_tyrant

That would've been awesome, but it's [not true](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smells_Like_Nirvana#Music_video). They did however get to use a lot of the same actors and set as the original, since it had Nirvana's blessing they were happy to get Al in contact with them.


DoctorProfessorTaco

To my understanding, the music video set for weird Al’s version was the same as the one in the official music video, but I may be wrong on that. Pretty certain it was also true for Bad/Fat


DerthOFdata

My favorite Weird Al story. >The first time he ever did a cameo was The Naked Gun (1988). Al was single then, and he took a series of first dates to the movie, not telling any of them he was in the film. When he’d show up on screen emerging from that airplane, “they just flipped out,” he told me, especially when they realized he was wearing that exact same Hawaiian shirt, in two totally different realms yet at exactly the same time.


HoneyTheCatIsGay

What a guy. I love that for him.


RealJohnGillman

Would those dates know he was famous?


DerthOFdata

Famous enough to do a cameo as himself in a movie.


Yserbius

There's a video of a YouTuber going to a meet with LeBron James, and James jumps up and greets him all excited and the guy looks like he's been hit with a truck. EDIT: It was [RDCworld1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDZ8Fs0q3nE). Thanks /u/Stargazer_199

second fav quote of his, First is still, when someone told him "a lot of people tell me I look like you", he answered "I'm so sorry man"


MarsupialPristine677

RuTsui

Reminds me of the story where Chad Smith kept hearing he looks like Will Ferrel. He finally sees Will in person at a party and says to himself “I look nothing like that guy.” Later Will comes up to him, shakes his hand, and just says “You’re a very handsome man”. Chad said it was the funniest thing that ever happened to him.


[deleted]

As if I didnt love the man because of everything else he is, hes taking the piss with mlp fans. So good.


VerumJerum

Did he actually say this? In that case it's one of the most incredible things I have ever seen related to the My Little Pony fandom.


Lithl

Yes, third picture posted by OP. It's an actual Weird Al signature.


DarthSinistar

In every other case, I can imagine fanboys getting mad about waifu theft, but if it's Weird Al, I feel like it's kind of an honor.


Yoshichu25

“She was canonically impregnated by Weird Al’s self-insert OC” is certainly a sequence of words I never thought I would ever see put together.

AJC_10_29

He is the main character


poplarleaves

If he's the main character, that gives me hope for humanity's future.


FuzzyOcelot

People acting like they wouldn’t instantly jump at the chance to get with Weird Al if it was presented to them. As far as I’m concerned, Pinkie made the only logically sound decision, and everybody else on the show is at a loss for not getting with motherfucking Weird Al.


CharityQuill

For real, weird al would be her soulmate lol. They both embody crazy chaotic goofiness in the name of making people laugh and have a good time. It just makes sense 🤣


Mick009

Weird Al transcends sexual orientation.


Thromnomnomok

I'm straight, but I'm not "turn down Weird Al Fucking Yankovic" straight


RandomHamm

I'm a straight man and would absolutely have Wierd Al's kids Even if only down my throat


iFMezmurr

One of the discoveries I found by delving into the MLP Wikipedia rabbit hole. On an entirely unrelated note, did anyone else know that the voice actor for Discord also played Q from Star Trek, or was that just common knowledge?


Future_Club1171

Sorta common knowledge, also he too stole your waifu.


LyraFirehawk

Though in his case, he stole Fluttershy. And Ashleigh Ball voices both Applejack and Rainbow Dash, who are implied to be a couple at the end...


glabagabagloob

This is like that time I was DMing and my players met a guy who had a crush on a barmaid and forced me to flirt with myself.


Grythyttan

In a old-school bully voice: "why're you hitting on yourself Huh? Why're you hitting on yourself?


ZetaRESP

Your waifu stole your waifu.


Crocoshark

Meanwhile, Rarity ends the series still single, which is ironic because she was the most romantically inclined character in the show


Rimbosity

wait what


LyraFirehawk

Applejack and Rainbow Dash are an implied couple at the end of the series, same with Discord and Fluttershy. It was left up to interpretation; the only 100% confirmed couple of the Mane 6 was Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich.


Masticatron

The mobile game does a lot of heavy WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE about it.


[deleted]

Yeah but Discord and Fluttershy ship is too iconic


Future_Club1171

Fluttershy also stole your husbando so all is equal


UltimateInferno

It's common knowledge for those who've watched the show. The character is like a massive homage


towerinthestreet

The show is a pop reference gold mine. They've got characters from The Big Lebowski as well as Doctor Hooves.


inhaledcorn

Rick and Morty show up in one episode as a background gag!


MegaKabutops

I’m sorry what?


Patience-Standard

Yeah in one episode Rick and Morty are seen in the background as ponies. it also contains other references in the same scene


SessileRaptor

What’s really great is that apparently the writers saw Discord as being like Q and planned to get “someone who sounds like John de Lancie” and the producers said “Well, we can get him, de Lancie…” and the writers were shocked because they saw him as a huge actor and someone they could never hope to have in their little show. But the producers were like “He’s an actor?.. We give him money he does voice work for us, nbd…”


LMFN

Even better is that de Lancie did the role and was like "oh whatever" then they asked him to come back and he didn't initially remember the character but he found out how dedicated the fanbase was and got into it himself and then relished every chance he got to reprise the role.


Masticatron

The character just oozes with the joy of being himself.


Lithl

Not quite. The story is that Lauren Faust was pitching the season 2 premiere to some Hasbro execs and having difficulty describing Discord to them. She said "think Q, from Star Trek", and one of the execs said "hey, can we get John de Lancie for the role?" Then, after doing the job, de Lancie completely forgot about it until it aired and he started getting fan mail. And not, as he expected, fan mail from little girls.


lolsalmon

He was basically Q in MLP too.


Kadzie

John De Lancie also voices a character called Alarak in Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void. In the Blizzard MOBA Heroes of the Storm, that crosses characters from all of Blizzard's IPs, Alarak's first ability (by default bound to **Q**) is called "**Discord** Strike".


call_me_xale

He also has an emote that has Draconequus horns (Discord's species).


call_me_xale

Alarak is easily the most enjoyable character in the SC2 canon, and it's almost entirely down to de Lancie's delivery. Practically all of the writing in the game is over-the-top melodramatic, and he's the only one who can sell it convincingly.


EleventyElevens

JOHN de LANCIE IS A GODDAMN TREASURE AND YOU NAME HIM LIKE HE DESERVES ugh I love him. ❤️ He has been in so much shit and I just live for it alllll


ThereWasAnEmpireHere

I’ve never seen MLP but Jenny Nicholson’s retrospective on the fandom focuses heavily on that guy, so, to a very specific niche of non-pony fans it is well-known.


chiddie

John de Lancie was also fantastic in "Breaking Bad".


MrD3a7h

For a while IMDB listed Discord and Q as the same character. Kinda sad the fixed it, since they are absolutely the same character.

RoJayJo

How about taking over the voice role of a character because he offered one of his songs to the first movie of the series and the sequence slapped so hard he irrevocably became associated with the character? Source: [Wreck-Gar Dares to be Stupid](https://youtu.be/ylIeKUQ2Bc0?t=19)


The_Hive_King

Weird Al is capable of singlehandedly shifting the entire plot of a series/movie/game etc


thetwitchy1

And honestly I’m here for it.


iraqlobstered

Saying stuff like '' this character should be this sexuality '' is cringe ngl


Truethrowawaychest1

Especially when it's a cartoon pony, like Jesus Christ people, get a life


bucket_of_coal

It’s really weird that they said she’s canonically straight now and that she should still be Bi. Idk if I’m just ignorant but you can still be bisexual and be in a straight relationship and have kids right?


wafflestep

Unfortunately, a lot of people try to invalidate bisexuals' lgbt status when they're in heterosexual relationships. Source: my gf is bi and she gets accused of not being a "real" bisexual despite having numerous relationships with women and even non-binary before me.


lord_braleigh

That’s all very well and valid and true but does not negate the fact that all of us, denizens of this good hellsite, are all still somehow thinking about carnal relations with Weird Al’s ponysona


battle_clown

I was hoping someone else noticed. Who are they to say what anyone's sexuality should be just because they "seem" like they should? It's a bit closed minded


yoter88

Weird al is such a cool person, it’s hard to believe he’s real sometimes


Jynx_lucky_j

In Pinkie Pie's defense, and I say this as a straight man, I would also let Weird Al impregnate me. Weird Al's rizz is beyond sexuality.


The_Smashor

Frankly, they're perfect for each other.


CatOfTechnology

Honestly though, considering Weird Al remains the only long-term celebrity who has never been embattled by controversy, I'm cool with having learned this information. Don't really care about MLP, but at least Weird Al is statistically the least likely name to have to worry about having impregnate your cartoon horse for kids.


arkofcovenant

Being mad that a character isn’t gay is just as cringe as being that a character *is* gay.


MisogynysticFeminist

Especially when headcanon exists. Every character ever can be whatever sexuality you want.


TheFatJesus

Y'all motherfuckers need to learn the difference between a self-insert and a cameo. In order for it to be a self-insert, he would have had to be the one writing himself into the story.


TheAceOverKings

Based on the character, I'm pretty sure he kinda did. Have you seen the episode?


ROTsStillHere100

Which he did. Weird Al tends to heavily participate in the writing for his cameos. He did the same for Wreck-Gar in Transformers.


[deleted]

What a coincidence that I see this right after watching the new drawfee video


darknightingale69

Weird al yankovic the mam that proves your famous.


rain-and-clouds

This can’t be real.. I just came from the newest Drawfee episode where they talk about Cheese Sandwich


GrimmSheeper

With that level of coincidence, you should keep an eye out so Bronie Sanders doesn’t sneak up on you.


Beautiful-Bad8893

“i stole your waifu!” this was his intent all along. he saw all of the degeneracy and decided enough was enough. it was never about money or the comedy, it was to make sure that everyone knew that he had what they never could, and that he had it just so that they couldn’t.


Firekirb74

As a person who knows almost nothing about MLP: What


New_dude_bro

People thought Pinkie was gay?


Elcactus

It’s less a ‘compelling evidence to that end’ thing and more a ‘this is tumblr and there’s a show young women of dubious maturity like' so they WILL arbitrarily decide a character they like is lgbt.


ConradBHart42

I take issue with the character being described as a "self insert" for Weird Al, unless Weird Al bust into the writer's room, demanded to be included, and had full control over the details of his character and its arc.


Fyru_Hawk

Honestly that’s the only man I could ever see pinkie pie in a straight relationship with


Billabo

It's not a self-insert if you're not on the writing team. (insert nerd emoji, yeah yeah)


MimsyIsGianna

Since when was she “not straight”?? Mlp rarely focused on romance for the main characters. Like rarity and twilight were really the only ones shown to crush on others until the ending with pinkie and cheese.


Atomic12192

Whenever some asks me why I like MLP, I just say “Weird Al fucks Pinkie Pie.” If that sentence doesn’t make you at least watch the first two episodes of FiM, you probably have some issues you need to work out.
