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.

Wow, I barely remember this show. I have a vague recollection of it airing, but I don't think I ever saw an episode. Did it air in the early 90s? Late 90s? I'm sure it must have included takeoffs on TV shows and music videos and other pop culture satire, but I don't remember a thing about it.

The entire series (13 episodes) will be available on August 15. No word yet on commentaries or other extras.
