White, check. Nerdy, check.

UPDATE: As Mr. Rowe points out below, the RIAA has had YouTube pull this video. Creative people will still be able to find copies at the usual sources.

My friend George¹ passed on this bit of Weird Al action:

George also wants you to notice that Seth Green is in there. And that you should pause it at 1:10 to read the questions on the Trivial Pursuit card.

My two immediate reactions:

What does it say about me that I get every single joke in there? Even the whole black market Holiday Special gag. Worse, what does it say that I actually thought “real nerds wouldn’t use Pascal”?
I think Al might just have won The Internet.

Who, while no longer “Undead” probably still does look like a burned-out truck driver much older than he actually is, and who is possibly wearing a work t-shirt with an open plaid shirt over top of it right now.(back)

I get “this video is no longer available.”

But I know what “black market Holiday Special” refers to even without the context.

Happy Light Day, man.

Ah, in this one strong the nerd-fu is.

“Hi, Seth? Would you like to be in my video? It just for a few seconds. I need to point at some figures. Then spank yourself. Great!”

Also, I’m pretty sure that’s Donnie Osmond dancing behind Al.

I don’t get the melting point of a gorilla’s head thing on the Trivial Pursuit card. And I’ll take moopsball over 43-man Squamish any day. But, good stuff. (And I agree, Pascal is teh lame. FORTRAN roolz.)

Re: moopsball — I think your decision might be different if you had ever played Canadian-rules 43-man Squamish.

The game is fundamentally the same, with the only real difference being that you don’t automatically get out of a downtown penalty after 2 minutes. Instead the duration of the penalty is either the time it takes you to drink 2 bottles of Fin Du Monde, or to accurately recite the lyrics to Tom Sawyer.

Well, that, and the thing with the Declaration being sung by the cross-dressing Joni Mitchell impersonators, but that’s not really part of the game per se.
