Weird Al’s “White and Nerdy”

Cafe Society

Here is the video.

Should I feel like a geek because I understand all the nerdy references?

Also, notice the Pacman symbol when Weird Al raps solo.

Thanks, I really enjoyed that.

Boyo Jim, White Nerd.

3

Brilliant!

Did I see the lightsaber kid (or a facsimile thereof) in there?

4

Somebody mentioned on another site that the dancer in the video is Donny Osmond. More brilliance!

5

That cracked me up!

Hey, Weird Al has got some pretty good rap flow going there. The video is funny as hell.

Yeah. I recognized the references in there. Sigh.

Silver1, also white and nerdy… :smiley:

6

Was that Seth Green showing off the action figures?

7

Help a wother out (that’s a white nerdy brother, yo.) What is the equation behind him. I feel like I should recognize it, but too many years have passed.

Thanks

8

The Star Wars Holiday Special cracked me right up!

9

All About the Pentiums was pretty good too.

Who are the various “gangstas” in the White and Nerdy video? Actors or are they famous within a different section of the culture?

10

It looks to be the Schrödinger Equation.

11

Same here. I paused and from what I could make out it’s:



[(-h[sup]2[/sup]/2μ)Δ[sup]2[/sup]-(*e*[sup]2[/sup]/r)]Ψ(r)-EΨ(r)

Only the Delta is upside-down in the video, and I couldn’t find an unside-down delta in the character map.
But damn if I have no idea what it is. And I’m engineer, I really should know! (But not a very good engineer.)

12

It’s the three-dimensional time-independent Schrodinger equation, as seen here.

13

I guess you win the “White and Nerdy Award.”

14

I’ve had a rotten day, and this video made me so happy I started to cry. It’s so nice that at least one thing hasn’t changed since I was six years old.

15

The video is streaming and so are my tears of laughter. I haven’t laughed this hard since…“Amish Paradise.” Viva Weird Al!

Sorry, I’m back.

Was just youtubing Al. I’d never seen Bob . Absolutely brilliant.

17

That was a thing of beauty…

18

Hilarious, AND I had a moment of shame because it made me realize how pathetic it was that I really did get my Star Wars Holiday Special in a kind of shady back room deal situation, and that I thought I was cool and edgy while doing it.

19

Like (I’d guess) many Dopers, I saw the Star Wars Holiday Special in its first (only?) TV broadcast. If ever a “hangs head in shame” smiley was needed, it’s now.

I’m pretty sure Al’s a Doper. Yup.
