Weird Al's Twitter

So over on Twitter, Goldenrusset (The Director for MLP FiM) has sent a tweet off to Weird Al asking him for a guest appearance! So far he hasn't responded yet, but it's still neat to see people from the FiM team actively posting around on the internet. I can only imagine how crazy a Weird Al Pinkie Pie episode would be!

This would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteNo fucking way.
ReplyDeleteNo -FUCKING- way.
Holy shit, I don't know if I would be able to be prepared for that.
Pink Pie meets Weird Al.....just think that for one minute....
ReplyDeleteSeeing what he's written lately, it seems he would agree on being in FiM, what with his love for parodies and therefore most likely cameos/expies xD
ReplyDeleteA Weird Al pony?! make it happen!!!
ReplyDeleteRecently I've seen him in Transformers Animated, Back to the Barnyard, and Batman Brave and the Bold...so yea it's a good chance he'll do it!
ReplyDelete>MFW WEIRD AL IS GOING TO BE ON MLP
ReplyDeleteI could live with a Weird Al guest spot.
ReplyDeleteAnd by "live with," I mean "worship forever."
omigosh-omigosh-omiGOSH!
ReplyDeleteWeird Al as PP's uncle would be epic! Hope he accepts the offer :)
I just jizzed rainbows.
ReplyDeleteEpic Pinkie/Weird Al song?
ReplyDeleteMAKE IT SO.

ReplyDeleteWeird Al Flankovic

ReplyDeleteOMG!!! The directors are bronies!
ReplyDeletebut mfw not weird al until season 2 >:(
GOD YES
ReplyDeleteGOD YES
GOD YES
GOD YES
GOD YES
Right as I clicked to type this comment, "I'll Sue Ya" came up on my mp3 player without me even touching it. I'm not even kidding. This is DEFINITELY a sign.
OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!
ReplyDeleteOnly thing that'd make it better then him showing up in episode? If he did the intro theme for said episode too. :3
ReplyDeletePOLKA PONIES!
Oh wow... I hope, nay PRAY that Al accepts.
ReplyDelete*looks around*
ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh
*blinks and looks innocent*
I can see it now...the Parasprites return and Pinkie alone isn't enough this time, she needs the power of Al.
ReplyDeleteI need to hear Dare To Be Stupid now.
OMG
ReplyDeleteohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboiohboi
hehehehehe
I love Weird Al and ponies.
The idea is beautiful in my head right now.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYou just broke my brain. Ow.
This is not to say I don't want to see it.
No... words to... describe the... awesome.
ReplyDelete*Braindead*
if he makes a cameo, he better right a song for the episode!
ReplyDeleteThis. Needs to happen immediately.
ReplyDeleteEVERYPONY RETWEET THAT!
I need this.
ReplyDeleteWeird Al must. He musst. He MUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST.
That would be incredible. No, incredible isn't even effective enough to describe such an event. There *is* no word effective enough for that.
ReplyDeleteMy head just exploded from imagining Al singing a song with Pinkie Pie.
Ohmygosh YES! Yes yes yes yes yes! I've been grinning like an IDIOT for the past 45 seconds straight just thinking about it! I really, really hope this pans out!
ReplyDelete@crazyredemu
ReplyDeleteI am Wreck-Gar, and I dare to be stupid!
I don't think I could hope any more than I already do for this to happen.
I got a winger boner just thinking about this.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of this happening... it's just too much to handle...
ReplyDeleteOh man. I already like Weird Al (especially since he recently did a parody of "Born this Way") but he (and FiM in general) would be 120% cooler if decided to lend his voice for a guest appearance.
ReplyDeleteGeez, first Transformers Animated, now (possibly) MLP: FiM? I'm a fan of Weird Al's work and I had no idea he was considering branching out to voice acting!
ReplyDelete*The possibility of a Wierd Al pony appearing*
ReplyDeleteMY MIND IS BLOWN.
FORREEEEEEEEEVER
@Batty Gloom:
ReplyDeleteA winger boner? Is that like a regular wingboner but moreso?
@Display Name
ReplyDeleteI think so, except it applies in particular to the 80s glam metal band Winger.
@Display Name
ReplyDelete"I just had the wingest boner"
@Display Name
ReplyDeleteNah, I just haven't learn all of my Brony slang just yet. :P
Seriously, though major wingboner here. I can't fold my bat-like wings! Somepony help me before I faint-ohnevermind.
Aaaaah~! *thud*
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
ReplyDeleteWeird Al? Ponie-HHHNNNNNGGGGGGGG!
ReplyDeleteHmm, aside from appearing as a guest star, I'd bet they'd ask him to be part of a musical number too. Somehow I don't see him performing with the mane cast though, to my recollection he tends to perform with his own band when he does guest appearances, then again I don't recall him ever taking part in shows that already have a musical cast.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't really had any male musical leads have we? Would shift things up a bit.
That and Al tends to favor stuff that's 'out there', I could see him agreeing to appear on MLP
We need a Wierd Al-Pinkie Pie duet!
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be the first time he appeared on a girl's cartoon. He appeared on the Sabrina the Teenage Witch animated series in the 90s, doing a song parody (in that episode, they used magic to become rock stars, and he lampooned their hit).
ReplyDeleteIt is without any sarcasm or exaggeration whatsoever that I say that I would literally jizz in my pants if this happened.
ReplyDeletePlease make this happen, God. Please.
...Sweet Celestia my brain just had an immortal baby.
ReplyDeleteWhat if, after saying yes, which he WILL do if he loves us at all, Weird al got some sort of screen or hologram system set up to have Pinkie perform a duet with him at an actual concert?
Also, in4 he actually ends up singing a song with Fluttershy
I can imagine a Pinkie Pie and Weird Al episode... briefly, before the insanity collapses the universe into a singularity.
ReplyDeleteI hate to spoil the mood, but if he makes a cameo in the show there will be shipping fics up on this site within days. They would be hilarious though, so maybe that wouldn't be too bad after all.
ReplyDelete@Display Name
ReplyDeletethe very idea of this caused me to make noises i've never made before
i will die happy if this happens
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as both a Brony and a Weird Al fan who's not into shipping that much...that is still a risk I'm more than willing to take to see Weird Al Flankovic playing an accordion in Equestria.
My body is not ready...
ReplyDeleteAlso I recall seeing a Weird Al pony art somewhere.
He had a Hawaiian shirt and his cuty mark was bologna. I shit you not.
I whole heartedly approve of Weird Al being in successively closer proximities to FiM.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, I'd approve even harder the closer he gets to Pinkie Pie, like writing a song for her, or doing a duet.
You know what would make this even better?
ReplyDeleteIf David Tennant was asked to phone in some lives for Doctor Whooves's future cameos too.
@Lily Surette
ReplyDeleteYeah, but that might be asking a bit much and the lawyers could get angry. It is a stupendous idea though and it would make my day if it happened.
Who's the first to cast via Twitter?
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN
ReplyDeleteTHIS HAS TO HAPPEN! OH PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
ReplyDelete~Onery
Al and Ponies what an awesome combo, sure hope this happens :)
ReplyDelete@mariomarc:
ReplyDeleteHooray! I've acheived my goal of causing inexplicable noises without moving my mouth!
Hold on, I'll come up with more awesome ideas. Gimme a sec...
@Lily Surette
ReplyDeleteWho should voice the other fan-favorite background characters?
I think we should start an e-mail campaign to make sure Al does it. Or just send him one email linking him to this comments section. He'll get the message.
ReplyDeleteYes do it, as Snip and Snails Stallion Pop!
ReplyDeleteMake it so Al pony was the creator of the Pinkie Pie Polka song she likes so much. Possibly put words to it.
ReplyDeleteWeird Al as Derpy's dad. SO AWESOME -:D
ReplyDeleteWeird Al just became 20% cooler
ReplyDeleteI bet Weird Al is related to Pinkie Pie!!! Like her uncle or something. It would explain so much!!!
ReplyDeletePinkie was living in an amish paradise!
@Parallel Logic
ReplyDeleteNo male musical leads?
Umm, does Fluttershy under the Poison Joke count?
so wait... weird al on mlp? thats genious!
ReplyDeleteor, imagine this: like, weird al, singing, to music by ingram, on mlp, with pinkie pie.
oh boy...
Weird Al's done an episode of Rocketboom, Know Your Meme Video I believe....so I don't see why he wouldn't do MLP.
ReplyDeletehey it worked when he did Wreck-Gar in TFA so why not in the new MLP
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSorry for my ignorance, but who's this Wierd Al ?
ReplyDeleteI'm picturing the opening theme song now:
ReplyDeleteMy little pony, my little pony...
Oom pah, oom pah oom pah-pah!!
Can someone please take me to the hospital? My mind just exploded from reading the words "FiM Director asks Weird Al for a guest appearance"
ReplyDeleteAm I really the only one here who CAN'T STAND this dude? I mean, I'd still watch the episode, but I just find him annoying and unoriginal.
ReplyDeleteInb4 hatestorm
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteTHIS.
For the love of Luna and Celestia let him do the intro and outro music for that episode! AS POLKA!
Weird Al Flankovich, very eSTRANGEd uncle to Pinkie Pie...so much potential!
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAnnoying? That's subjective, I can understand if you can't stand him.
Unoriginal? I wouldn't say so.
Perhaps it's because half of the comedians are using HIS jokes and style of humor these days and it could make an impression Weird Al is the unoriginal one.
YES!!! Replied and retweeted. THIS! MUST! HAPPEN!
ReplyDelete@Midnight
ReplyDeleteTHIS
And it would make so much sense for Pinkie Pie and Weird Al pony to be related :D And possibly, during the episode, a duet!
It wouldn't be the first hasbro franchise he's guest starred in. Just have Wreck-Gar visit Ponyville.
ReplyDelete@kimba150
ReplyDelete'Wierd' Al Yankovic is one of the greatest/most famous artists currently alive in the parody/comedy music business, and has been active since the 80s.
He is best known for 'food songs', arranging rock polkas, and playing the accordian. He has parodied many many popular musical styles, from rock, to oldies, to country, to hip hop.
And he's got a wicked sense of humor.
The very first place I ever saw Weird Al was on Lilo and Stitch. If he can be on any of these shows mentioned, then MLP can't be to far of a stretch!
ReplyDeleteJust think of what a stir it would cause in the music community…
Are you ready for Polkapony?
ReplyDeleteGod, he HAS to say yes. That would be most epic thing ever. If he agrees and there is a Weird Al/Pinkie Pie-Duet, the moment The Hub will air it, reality itself will explode from the awesomeness!!!!
...so yeah, would be kinda cool if he said yes.
I once watched an episode of Johnny Bravo so many years ago where he played himself. I believe that if there ever was a man who would turn down such an offer, Weird Al would smack him in the back of the head with a large salami.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Goldenrusset has increased the show's cool factor by yet another 20%
If this happens, I will hold it up as evidence that our reality is the most perfect one possible.
ReplyDeleteAs a non-USA brony, I don't really know who he is. If he's a good voice actor and the directors just want to cast him as a little in-joke, great, but if it goes further than that- I can't help thinking of this (youtube- skip to halfway to see exactly what I mean):
ReplyDeletewatch?v=XnOtmimxSVw&
He can be funny but I don't really like most of Weird Al's songs. Hopefully the people at MLP can help him be catchy.
ReplyDelete@Display Name
ReplyDeleteNo: A Winger boner, also known as a whamadoodle, is something found in the artworks of a man by the name of Doug Winger.
Google if you want to know more, but be warned that much^W most of his stuff is _very_ NSFW. You might also want to buy a roll of mental floss.
Well my dear Anonymous, I'm not from USA either, but I learned who is Weird Al thanks to Pokémon.
ReplyDeleteAnd since is sad that he is not so known in some places, i can assure you that he has a good voice, his style fits completely FiM style (I'd say he is more excentric than Pinkie Pie, altough less hype), he has a lot of experience (About 30 years making music/parodies) and that he gladly have been in lots of programs before.
If you have time, look for "Smells like Nirvana", "Don't download this song", "Virus Alert", "Hardware Store", "Everything you know is wrong", "Albuquerque" and "Polkarama".
If you do not have time, just look for "Hardware Store" and "Smells like Nirvana" (That when both songs, "Smells like Teen Spirit" and this one were in the radios at the same time, Weird Al won in popularity). Or his guest appearance in kid programs.

ReplyDeleteWeird Al in Johnny Bravo
if this happens which it will knowing him this will cause ripples through the internet causing people who are not already bronies to become bronies who knows maybe a few of my friends will find out how great this show is.
ReplyDeleteI've actually been wondering if they have asked Sandy Duncan to do a voice-cameo. I mean, it would be fitting, since she was one of the main voice actors for G1.
ReplyDeleteIf this happens I will die happy. Seriously, no matter what if I live to see Weird Al on MLP I WILL die happy!
ReplyDeleteJust saw a new tweet by Al - and I got super excited - but it turns out he just announced his next album. Which is also awesome!
ReplyDeleteNew album, and possibly Al in MLP??? Holy crap, amazing.
Woah man... woah.
ReplyDeleteIf we could get weird al as a geust pony in the show... or even as a guest voice actor. That would be so amazing. And maybe have the pony community grow a little bit if some of his immense fanbase decides to check it out :D
Or maybe it'll be an episode where the ponies decide to try being a rock group and even perform a rock song (don't ask me how, but even playing their own instruments)...and it becomes the #1 hit in Equestria, so much so Weird Al "Flankovic" spoofs it, voiced by Weird Al himself, just like in the case of that Flavor Babes episode of "Sabrina, the Animated Series"...?
ReplyDeleteOkay, there is now a second picture of Weird Al "Flankovic" on Deviantart, using the same exact design as the first one. If Weird Al does say yes, Hasbro should just use that image for the show.
ReplyDeleteWeird Al does a lot of out there stuff like Tim and Eric and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteI don't think a Weird Al related appearance would be too implausible :D
This. Is. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI just hope we haven't scared him off or something.
If this happens I don't think I might explode and then explode again from the sheer unfiltered win!
ReplyDeleteI think the only thing that would be more awesome than Weird Al being on there would be if David Bowie had a guest appearance! And he got to perform and sing a song!
ReplyDeleteEither way, both would be awesome.
Weird Al on MLP?
ReplyDeleteWhy not??? Lets do it! It will make the show 20% cooler, twice.
This would make both Pony and Yankovich 200% cooler.
ReplyDeleteI'm not finding that tweet. I went all the way back to december with mlp in my search and it says theres 0 in that page.

ReplyDelete*Are you okay?*
Yes.
@Anonymous\
ReplyDeleteI just broke.
Dare to be pony! Weird Al is muh favorite! I don't see why he wouldn't go for it unless he's real busy or something. Weird Al seems like the type that would enjoy MLP:FiM
ReplyDeleteThis would make my year
ReplyDeleteMake it happen. I'm from Russia, and there are only 3 things that can heat ice in my evil heart: vodka, MLP:FiM and Weird Al.
ReplyDeletehttp://itchymango.deviantart.com/art/quot-Weird-Al-quot-Flankovic-205564595
ReplyDeleteIt would be most epic
He shouldn't of tweeted Al when he was still caught up with that whole Gaga thing.
ReplyDeleteMake this happen! Weird Al Pony must happen! Please make him
ReplyDelete*DEEP INHALE*
ReplyDeleteyay.
This ought be interesting as he did "Dare to be Stupid" from Transformers
ReplyDeleteOMG I AM SENDING HIM A LETTER TELLING HIM TO DO IT RIGHT NOW OMG
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteHa, certainly not one that crossed my mind. I'm gonna take the cop-out that that was still a female character, but a good call none-the-less
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteI can see this episode now. The Weird Al pony tries to out-Pinkify Pinkie, and the parties become an intense competition.
ReplyDelete@Chakat Firepaw
ReplyDeleteOh crap, I was wondering when somebody was going to bring that up. God, somebody even mentioned him on Dave Barry's blog! DAVE BARRY'S!!!
And if anyone doesn't know who Dave Barry is, look him up. He's a much more worthwhile find than that Winger guy.
AaAanydangway. I REEEEAAALLYYY hope that there will be a legit Pony Polka in the episode. Like a polka medley of all the best songs in the series. That would make rainbows explode from every pore of my being.
ReplyDeletebest thing i can think of. EVER
ReplyDeleteAnyone know of Weird Al ever replied?
ReplyDeleteGuys...
ReplyDeletehere is a fanfic of weird AL coming to ponyville
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpi8MGviuDM&feature=plcp&context=C3c542c8UDOEgsToPDskLkjAK1VK3sGzS2iGFjweJO
this better happen! XD PLEASE PLEASE WEIRD AL RESPOND! XD
ReplyDeleteReading through backlog and see this
ReplyDeleteInstantly check to see if anything ever happened
So sad D:
Maybe he's still thinking guys! *hurdurr*
