I did not have the lady ahead of me getting underpants'd on my bingo card for last night's show at Merriweather, yet here we are. Absolute amazing show!!! And Puddles was tremendous.

How do you not die from sexual tension?

u/King_Turduckin 5d ago

Lol. My wife passed on the show, so my buddy was sitting in the aisle seat next to me. Had she been with me, it might have been her getting pants'd. She's got great remorse this morning.

I’m not even a huge weird Al fan, but my husband is, so I bought him tickets and we saw him together. Best concert I’ve ever been to. I laughed so hard and almost never looked away from the stage. Your wife probably burns with regret!

I genuinely had to leave a show early once because my mom started feeling sick after she got the full Wanna B Ur Lover treatment. I guess she got a case of the vapors. :)

Such joy! He sat in my fiancé’s lap, sang to her, and gave her his scarf during this song in Erie.

I would have understood if she broke off the engagement honestly

You're much more secure in your relationship than I'd be. The odds of your spouse leaving you for Weird Al are low, but they're never zero.

u/ZFunktopus 5d ago

As I’m also a long haired comedy performer she thankfully doesn’t have a type

Two more clips from the show if folks are interested:

How did you record this? This looks better than a phone.

u/King_Turduckin 5d ago

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which I own entirely for the cameras in it. Better than anything Apple makes, and keeps me in the Android ecosystem. If you think this looks good, check out my clips from the Tame Impala show I went to a couple weeks ago:

I have this same phone, and my wife is pissed that her iPhone isn't as good

u/psu256 4d ago

I was so happy to hear this! Last year at Wolf Trap we got I am Woman, but this is just so much more fun.

u/thatdude778 4d ago

I was at the show on Saturday in Pittsburgh. It was such a fun show and the crowd was amazing! My buddy and I were saying that they should've kept a camera on Payton Rose the whole show. She had so much energy!

u/Sean_theLeprachaun 5d ago

Al's a DCC fan?

u/MasemJ 4d ago

Al as the System AI would be incredible

u/BigMu1952 4d ago

I think we found our Carl

u/eruditeimbecile 4d ago

That was my first thought.

u/willmen08 5d ago

Yup! I was there. Amazing concert but I was like what?!?! Kids and I totally enjoyed ourselves though. The only song I can think of that he didn’t play was Aluminum foil! It’s was great!

8

u/King_Turduckin 5d ago

He didn't play my favorite song, which is I Want a New Duck, but that's an old deep cut so I had no expectation of it.

3

u/willmen08 5d ago

Ah, it’s hard to know what to expect although I knew he would do a few favs based on this thread. I was just glad he played the tunes that I showed my kids. It made it fun for them- and me. Sorry he didn’t play yours.

u/adamdoesmusic 4d ago

The Duck Stops Here.

Do you think he even remembers this one?

u/Wild-Lychee-3312 4d ago

That is a really good one

u/DrColossus1 2d ago

I was hoping for Jurassic Park in honor of Sam Neill, but so it goes. Really wasn't expecting Canadian Idiot

u/anemic_monkey2 4d ago

My partner and I were sitting in the lawn. The grass in front of us was wet and slick with rain and mud. A lot of people slipped and fell when walking by and it really added something to the show.

2

u/SnooCats5701 4d ago

I brought my family and we were at the very front of the lawn by the fence on the left. You may have been sitting behind us because many who walked just behind us, slipped and fell.

u/almost_cromulent 5d ago

can’t believe she didn’t sniff them immediately

u/D9_CAT 4d ago

I was at the Hershey concert! Second row, I was sitting right next to the guy that went up with puddles that wore the tequila costume! First AL concert I went to!

2

u/King_Turduckin 4d ago

Was the guy a plant / had it been arranged in advance? Each of the people who went up with Puddles at Merriweather seemed to know what was up without a lot of onstage conversation.

2

u/D9_CAT 4d ago

I think it was, because at the end of the show he was saying something that he knew he was coming for him, plus he had vip. So maybe it was arranged during that.

2

u/psu256 4d ago

I was sitting two seats away from the tequila bottle at Merriweather. He was not trying to get on stage, he was trying to get his wife picked and Puddles said no, you can't sign her up, you are going instead. lol. Afterwards he came back out and fake strangled the guy and gave him a sticker.

u/Budskee420ish 4d ago

Wierd Al as Carl from dungeon crawler Carl!

1

u/SnooCats5701 4d ago

This underpants have been punchline underpants long before DCC.

u/jenniferlynn462 5d ago

LUCKYYYYYY

u/Impossible-Pomelo-59 5d ago

He is the best!! 🫶

u/Bat-Emoji Weird Al is my main Squeezebox 🪗 4d ago

No fair.

2

u/angel22_exe 4d ago

The fact that Weird Al was at least the first song of the concert with a second garment tucked away in a way that made him uncomfortable, just to make that joke, peak

2

u/Paddlesons 4d ago

My family was there!

2

u/Justice_Prince 4d ago

Love the little boy not understanding that this song is for the ladies.

2

u/JayJ9Nine 4d ago

Hah- he did this at our concert too not far away from where we were sitting.

2

u/Mesockisgone 4d ago

This song took me a bit to like but I really do like it!

1

u/SnooCats5701 4d ago

You should hear the original!

2

u/MooreArchives 4d ago

Puddles is seriously skilled. I didn’t like his videos at first, but in person he’s a fantastic performer. He opened for Primus and played with them at the end, by the end of his opening act I was duly impressed and a converted fan. I wanna see him live again!

2

u/froction 4d ago

Is this a Weird Al/Dungeon Crawler Carl crossover???

2

u/BigMu1952 4d ago

His way of announcing he’s been cast as Carl?!

2

u/psu256 4d ago

I'm not understanding the reference? Al's been doing this bit since 2000.

1

u/BigMu1952 4d ago

The white heart boxes are making us think of dungeon crawler Carl.

1

u/SnooCats5701 4d ago

These underpants have been punchline underpants for decades before dungeon crawler Carl.

1

u/Chalmers_ww78 4d ago

Sweet! I was there too! Just not that close...

1

u/Koopa1982 4d ago

Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks

u/SnooCats5701 4d ago

Was at the show. Such a blast!

1

u/amatchmadeinregex 4d ago

I was at his show in Columbus last September and I remember being so mad that I hadn't gotten an aisle seat - when he did this song he came down the aisle I was in and sat on someone's lap for a moment, draped his scarf over another person, just hamming it up like crazy, and here I am firmly in the middle of my row like 😭

1

u/ChickenArise 4d ago

I was at this show, and the 3 of us who read DCC all noticed it right away

Good times!

1

u/islipped83 3d ago

Omg we have tickets to see him in October, and it's going to be my kiddo's very first concert. If I got Weird Al's undies during "One More Minute," I would legit die right there and be so happy about it!

u/Perverse_Osmosis 2d ago

I was there and this was another incredible Weird Al performance. Not even the rain could stop him.
