Choosing my Persimmon

From the 2021 SF Sketchfest Virtual Fundraiser, please enjoy Triumph the Insult Comic Dog interviewing "Weird Al" Yankovic.
I love how much Yankovic is just trying to not crack up and play the straight man here.
I also love how much Triumph is way too close to the camera.
I often forget how much Yankovic can actually sing. He has a great voice.
This was fun.

That whole event (3.5 hours of comedy) was AMAZING but that totally made me cry with laughter.

It's so dumb, but I still always laugh when Triumph's cigar falls out of his mouth.

That was hilarious. Triumph's parodies weren't bad either!

That was freakin' great! Triumph's super power is pushing things just a little too close to home for his guests.

See, I didn't necessarily get that, my take is that Al's inner geek actually got (oh so slightly) triggered by Triumph's insistence that Weird Al just does food parodies. Which makes it all the more funny, tbh.

What makes the bit kill is that it touches on one of Weird Al’s sore spots: song parodies from the early days of p2p file sharing that were always attributed to him.

Al's face at "...cover it with other ones". This whole bit was excellent but that made me laugh so hard. Never have I been so glad that someone's living room didn't go through a tunnel and lose signal.
