“Weird Al” Yankovic continues his goal of comedy video supremacy with the 6th installment of his #8videos8days campaign.
“First World Problems”, is the second original song of the bunch, but instead of a popular song, Al parodies the life of the upper crust.
With two more days and two more videos left, “Weird Al” satirizing the irony of people complaining about the problems of having everything they want and more than they need.
From being mad that he can’t take a shower because the maid is “cleaning the bathroom”, to something most people can relate to in this day and age, not being able to fast forward through commercials because he’s “watching live tv,” Al keeps throwing verbal zingers.
Upset that his electric toothbrush has ran out of charge, so now he has to actually “brush his teeth,” to destroying his laptop because “there’s a pixel out” on it, Weird Al’s blond wig toting character, basically walks around all day unhappy and whining about his life.
Weird Al’s #8videos8days, which began on Monday July 14 and ends Monday July 21st, has already spawned 5 hilarious videos including “Tacky“, “Word Crimes“, “Foil“, “Handy“, and “Sports Song” which combined have earned him over 20 million views, not too shabby for the man who created the genre over 30 years ago.
Al’s latest album Mandatory Fun can be found at WeirdAl.com, along with all six of the videos from the album. The video for “First World Problems” can be found below.
