How people thought he was weird so he took the title and ran with it. I was made fun of, pushed around and talked down to because of my Autism. I've been misunderstood, ignored and poked at. Still, now in my 30's I listen to Weird Al. His morals, lessons and relatability to me echoes throughout time and still rings true to this day. Thank you, Weird Al Yankovic for not only getting me through school but getting me through life and my worst melt downs.

Weird Al understands Gen Z humor more than Gen Z.

I love how Al stops smiling the second the song actually starts.

I see him and my whole childhood comes into play 😭 I hope knows how much of a treasure he is to us. I love life because of people just like him. 💔
