Related: About this forumOur favorite Moran appears in the Weird Al video "Word Crimes."
Mr. "Get-a-brain-Morans" (wearing a Weird Al face) appears at 1:15, but the whole brilliant parody / scolding of language-torturers is very worth the three-minutes & change of your time!

Have you seen his video "Foil" (parody of "Royals" ? There's a great segment on CT in that vid that had me rolling. Reminded me of eight fish...

On-edit. let's all enjoy:

Have you heard his tune "Craigslist" (or seen the video)? It's a style parody of The Doors. The guitarist on that one NAILED Robbie Kreiger's style and tone. Ray Manzarek actually helped Al arranged the song.
However, to this day, my FAVORITE Weird Al song is "You Don't Love Me Anymore" from "Off The Deep End".

Yes! Both the lyrics themselves and their translation to animation in the video are quite brilliant.
I've often been a bit of a spelling and grammar nazi myself (still use the oxford comma even, Weird Al's casual approach to it notwithstanding).
