Before you crucify me, keep in mind that I actually like Weird Al. But that doesn't change the fact that he's unbelievably narcissistic--even for a celebrity.
Just take a look at his most recent twitter posts:
Guess who's on The Joy Behar Show tonight?! Nope, guess again. No, no! It's ME!! (CNN HLN, 10 PM ET/PT) 9 hours ago
That’s right. Batman, Scooby Doo and… me. Link 14 hours ago

Holy shit, bro! I hope I'm not the first person to call him out on this shit. Any time I go through Al's tweets, I become more aware of my own narcissism, and I resolve to get rid of it.
At some point in the future, psychology textbooks will use Al's twitter account as an important case study. It's almost as if Al has no concept of anything other than himself and his works.
His YouTube account is almost as disturbing. Just check out videos like Weird Al's Grammy spin, Weird Al SHREDS!!!, and Weird Al rides the Slingshot.
Odds are Al is googling himself right now.
But enough about Al. Let's talk about me. I'm just as self-obsessed as he is--and I spent time out of my day to put together a webpage criticizing him. If anything, I need an even bigger kick in the ass than he does.
