Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Honors ‘Weird Al’ With Some Pop Parodies He Definitely Didn’t Write
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog honored 'Weird Al' Yankovic by performing some hilariously dumb pop parodies Yankovic definitely did not write.
These included “Dumplings,” an ode to the titular food set to Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and “Mudslide,” a take on Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” about — you guessed it — fast casual takeout and bowel movements. Triumph even pretended Weird Al wrote numerous parodies of Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”: one about being confused by cream cheese with chives; one about cutting a cantaloupe with a plastic knife; one about a flight attendant explaining how a seat works as a flotation device; and one about not getting Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice. Comedian Thomas Lennon came out to sing the first, delivering a version of “Losing My Religion” about purchasing persimmons, while Amber Ruffin tackled the latter, turning “Summertime Sadness” into a tune about watching tennis great Pete Sampras.
