The 6-8 year period is a refference to the lyric "allow if you're still alive, 6 to 8 years to arrive" from the song Walkin' on the Sun by Smash Mouth

[mantamariana]

Another fact: Vivziepop originally wanted Al to play Lucifer in Hazbin Hotel, but he rejected it because he doesn’t swear

[lavender]

God i love when creators hire fan content makers it's just so cool to see

[kylesmyle]

The woman who says next in the "Thank U, Next" segment was voiced by Tress Macneille, who also played Lucy in the song "Ricky" and the woman in an argument with Al in "Jerry Springer".

[S-wnkh]

Some other hidden Easter eggs:
2:59 the boulder that falls on weird al is the one from a different encanto song, surface pressure. Also, the reason that Bruno looks at the prophecy and weird al in a scared manner is because he forsees thr boulder falling on him
5:14 along with the sourkrout you can also see harvey the wonder hamster from the weird al show and a spatula referencing the spatula city ad from uhf

The number 27 may be a reference to this line from Hardware store:
"There's a great big purple sign out front that says every 27th customer will get a ball peen hammer free!"

[dustyb]

I like that this is ALL EASTER EGGS and 2 minutes in he's like "i dont know what this is"

[GeorgeNewman]

One thing you missed. In the Hello segment, the character is drinking “Bilchik Wine”. Bilchik is the last name of George’s Uncle Harvey in UHF.

Also Bill Plympton did a portion of the Polka Face video as well, which you didn’t mention.

Otherwise great video. You pointed out a few things that I missed even on the 27th viewing of the video!

[hafniumCrystalizer]

4:01 don't forget that Liam Lynch also made the song United States of Whatever that was recently featured in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

[WheatleyXD]

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT "That's what I call Polka!" IT CAME OUT 10 YEARS AGO

I recently met Al Yancovic, only this year I did

What a good time to be a Yancovic fan

[Scratchman]

the head flying off in shake it off could also be a reference to a part in a different weird al song, where he headbangs so hard his head flys off

[AkiyamaRyuujou]

At 1:50 the middle TV is referencing the well scene from The Ring.

[Rebateman]

One small detail you missed: In the Bad Guy part, some of the moves from the original song's official choreo (and Just Dance alt choreo, which is based on the former) is performed.

[BingusHogglefart]

found a clip while scrolling on shorts, decided to watch the whole video and i loved it! will definitely be subscribing!

[shirleymaemattthews]

7:29 SONICHU AND CHRIS CHAN IS CANNON TO WEIRD AL LORE!!! 😱😱😱

[Tymeggs]

1:04 Actually the cow is playing an instrument called a bandoneon, not an accordion, surprisingly big difference

[jeseniagonzalez]

Another references:
In the "Hello" segments there is a "The Ring" reference.
On one TV and at the start is playing a devil game called "Quija".

[Otokichi]

2:01 That looks like archival footage used in "Christmas at Ground Zero."

[RainbowsMakeMeCry]

i think the outfit at 2:40 is actually a reference to the cover of Bad Hair Day

[kittiesandbotsgemini]

Heres something that could be an accident or a subtle reference, since polkas are to poland the cows on the beggining could be a reference to polish cow, the moon part can be either for the moon landing aniversary or as a reference that poland hasnt gone to space yet
