He once saved a crowded school bus from falling off of a cliff ... using only a scarf.

Firefighters blamed him for the Laguna Wildfire when his Aviator sunglasses came in contact with the sun.

People stop and stare at every word he writes, particularly when he writes "boobs."

He is the most interesting man in the world. And his name is Charles Nelson Reilly. The actor, comedian, director and Match Game fixture has been posthumously immortalized by comedy musician "Weird Al" Yankovic in a new hilarious online single called "CNR".

Actor, comedian and classically trained suit wearer Joel McHale has taken his talent for riffing to the next level.

The star of The Soup and the upcoming NBC sitcom Community has joined forces with Michael J. Nelson's Rifftrax.com to provide a running comedy commentary for the perennial craptastic 80s classic Red Dawn. Nelson announced the guest commentary on the Rifftrax site and his Twitter blog earlier this week.

Rifftrax, for those who may not be familiar with the site and are therefore in no way cool, is the comedy website that provides downloadable MP3s of funny movie commentaries featuring the voices and talents of the minds behind Mystery Science Theater 3000 including Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy. It is the only reason I still own all three Matrix films, that and the fact that my desk is missing part of a leg.

Apparently, the key to getting a lot of votes on digg (and maybe Netscape, for all I know) is to mention "Weird Al" Yankovic in some capacity or another. Blogger Scott Robbin decided to let everyone know what his favorite ten Yankovic videos were, in order, and that got him a whopping 1267 diggs.

Was there controversy? A little; Robbin ranks Al's new video, "White and Nerdy", as his 2nd favorite, ahead of the classic video for "Fat" and behind the song that catapulted Al into the song parody Pantheon, "Eat It." The video is pretty funny; both the song and video have little in-jokes that only the nerdiest among us would get ("I can write in both JavaScript and Klingon"). It's definitely one of his best. But #2? Not really. You can form your own opinion after watching the video, which is after the jump.

All ten videos -- including classics like "Like a Surgeon", "Amish Paradise", and "I Lost on Jeopardy!" -- can be found on Robbin's page.

Amelie over at The Hater found a full episode of The Weird Al Show on YouTube. I've posted it after the jump so everyone can enjoy it until somebody finds out and takes it off of YouTube. This was the Saturday morning kids' show Al did for CBS in the late 90s, which was around the time I was starting to get over an infatuation with his music that had pretty much dictated my musical tastes for the better part of my early years. You can actually buy the entire series on DVD when it comes out on August 15, but this is a nice preview. Lenny and Squiggy themselves, Michael McKean and David L. Lander, appear as miners. Listen for special guest voices Emo Philips and Billy West in the "Fatman" cartoon segment. Enjoy for now:

Lost, Weird Al Yankovich and Queen, "Three great tastes that taste great threegether". This is the greatest thing I've seen in a long long time, and any fan of Lost will gleam at least a little humor from this. This is kind of along the lines of the Jib-Jab political cartoons from the past couple of years. I'm not sure how to describe it beyond that too much. Just watch it. For me, the best part of the entire short was Grimlock's (from the Transformers) cameo. So head on over to Weird Al's site and check out this short. Trust me, you'll love it.
