1. Oh, this is the
story about a guy named Al,
Copy !req
2. and he lived in a sewer
with his hamster pal.
Copy !req
3. But the sanitation workers
really didn't approve.
Copy !req
4. So he packed up his
accordion and had
Copy !req
5. to move to a city in Ohio
where he lived in a tree.
Copy !req
6. And he worked in a nasal
decongestant factory.
Copy !req
7. And he played on the
company bowling team.
Copy !req
8. And every single night he
had a strange recurring dream
Copy !req
9. where he was wearing Lederhosen
in a batch of sour cream.
Copy !req
10. But that's really not
important to the story.
Copy !req
11. Well, the very next year
he met a dental hygienist
Copy !req
12. with a spatula tattooed
on her arm— on her arm.
Copy !req
13. But he didn't keep in touch,
and he lost her number.
Copy !req
14. Then he got himself a
job on a tater tot farm.
Copy !req
15. And he spent his life
savings on a split level cave
Copy !req
16. twenty miles below the surface
of the earth— of the earth.
Copy !req
17. And he really makes a mighty
fine jelly bean and pickle
Copy !req
18. sandwich, for what it's worth.
Copy !req
19. Then one day Al was in the
forest trying to get a tan when
Copy !req
20. he heard the tortured screaming
of a funny little man.
Copy !req
21. He was caught in a bear
trap, and Al set him free.
Copy !req
22. And the guy that he rescued
was grateful as can be.
Copy !req
23. And it turns out he's a
big shot producer on TV.
Copy !req
24. So he gives Al a contract,
and what do you know.
Copy !req
25. Now he's got his very
own Weird Al show.
Copy !req
26. Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Copy !req
27. Yeah, yeah!
Copy !req
28. Yeah, yeah!
Copy !req
29. Yeah, yeah!
Copy !req
30. Today's lesson
is— learning new things
Copy !req
31. takes time, study,
and hard work.
Copy !req
32. - Let's see now.
Copy !req
33. Well, your temperature's normal.
Copy !req
34. Oh hey, everybody.
Copy !req
35. How are you doing?
Copy !req
36. My pal Harvey here
isn't feeling very well.
Copy !req
37. I've read the National Rodent
Society's Official Hampster
Copy !req
38. Maintenance Manual from
cover to cover twice,
Copy !req
39. and I still can't
find the problem.
Copy !req
40. I think he might be faking it.
Copy !req
41. Still, it wouldn't
hurt to fill out
Copy !req
42. that hamster organ donor card.
Copy !req
43. Heh, heh.
Copy !req
44. I'm just kidding around, Harv.
Copy !req
45. Well, let's review
your symptoms one
Copy !req
46. more time— lack of
movement, rear end is
Copy !req
47. hard and plastic-like, emits
a strange whirring sound.
Copy !req
48. Oh! I know what it is.
Copy !req
49. Harvey's
just being sucked
Copy !req
50. into the vacuum
cleaner, that's all.
Copy !req
51. How does this thing work?
Copy !req
52. - Al!
Copy !req
53. - Bobby, you scared me to death.
Copy !req
54. - Sorry, Al.
Copy !req
55. But I really need
to know something.
Copy !req
56. What would happen if I
never brush my teeth?
Copy !req
57. - Well, now there's a very
pressing question, Bobby.
Copy !req
58. Say, why don't we
just stop everything
Copy !req
59. and watch this incredibly
entertaining and instructive
Copy !req
60. movie.
Copy !req
61. We use
our teeth every day
Copy !req
62. to smile and to bite things.
Copy !req
63. But what happens if
we neglect our teeth?
Copy !req
64. They might wind up looking
like this or this or this.
Copy !req
65. Ugh.
Copy !req
66. So how can we keep our
teeth healthy and clean?
Copy !req
67. First of all, visit
your dentist every day,
Copy !req
68. and bring along a
friend to watch.
Copy !req
69. Also, when you eat cake,
chew with your mouth closed.
Copy !req
70. Don't be a pig.
Copy !req
71. When you eat stinky
food, hold your nose.
Copy !req
72. And don't eat too many
sugar cubes, either.
Copy !req
73. It's also a good idea to
check your teeth in a mirror
Copy !req
74. every five minutes
or so, just to make
Copy !req
75. sure they're still there.
Copy !req
76. And most importantly, learn
the proper way to brush.
Copy !req
77. A lot of kids try to brush their
teeth without actually putting
Copy !req
78. the toothbrush inside their
mouths, like these kids.
Copy !req
79. Silly— brushing your
cheek doesn't do any good.
Copy !req
80. You've got to take your
teeth out of your mouth
Copy !req
81. first, and then brush them.
Copy !req
82. So remember, brush.
Copy !req
83. Brush as if your
life depended on it.
Copy !req
84. Be nice to your teeth.
Copy !req
85. Or else you'll have to eat
everything through a straw.
Copy !req
86. - Sorry, Harvey.
Copy !req
87. It won't happen again.
Copy !req
88. Ah.
Copy !req
89. So, Bobby, are you now
chock full of knowledge?
Copy !req
90. - Al, how come I
can't breathe water?
Copy !req
91. - Guess not.
Copy !req
92. Bobby, I really don't know.
Copy !req
93. - Then how come I
can't breathe gravy?
Copy !req
94. - Bobby, I don't know.
Copy !req
95. - How come it doesn't hurt
when I get a haircut?
Copy !req
96. - I don't know!
Copy !req
97. - How come fly swatters
have holes in them?
Copy !req
98. He doesn't know.
Copy !req
99. - Al, why can't you answer
any of my questions?
Copy !req
100. - Bobby, because
you ask questions
Copy !req
101. that nobody knows
the answers to.
Copy !req
102. - Well, actually, you can't
breathe water or gravy
Copy !req
103. because they're both liquids.
Copy !req
104. And our lungs can
only breathe gasses.
Copy !req
105. It doesn't
hurt to cut your hair
Copy !req
106. because there are no
nerve endings there.
Copy !req
107. The holes in a fly swatter
reduce wind resistance,
Copy !req
108. thus making it move
through the air faster.
Copy !req
109. Sorry about flashy entrance.
Copy !req
110. My superhero's license
is up for renewal.
Copy !req
111. Just brushing up on the basics.
Copy !req
112. - Ah.
- Wow, you know everything.
Copy !req
113. - Well, my PhDs in biology,
geology, and astrophysics
Copy !req
114. do come in handy
sometimes, I guess.
Copy !req
115. - You have three PhDs?
Copy !req
116. - No, wait a minute.
Copy !req
117. No, that's not right.
Copy !req
118. - I didn't think so.
Copy !req
119. - Five, yeah, I
actually have five.
Copy !req
120. I also have a degree in
hooded studies and one
Copy !req
121. in taking the law
in your own hands.
Copy !req
122. Got a little carried
away in college.
Copy !req
123. - Bobby, a PhD is
a kind of degree
Copy !req
124. that you earn in college after
you've mastered a subject.
Copy !req
125. - Duh, I'm not a moron.
Copy !req
126. - OK.
Copy !req
127. - Anyhow, I was going
through the paper,
Copy !req
128. and I found these 553 get
one free frozen burritos
Copy !req
129. coupons— thought
of you right away.
Copy !req
130. - Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
131. - OK, well, I've got to go.
Copy !req
132. - Wait, Mr. Hooded
Avenger, wait up.
Copy !req
133. I've got lots of questions.
- Bobby.
Copy !req
134. - Bye, Al, got to go.
Copy !req
135. - But Bobby, I know all
about hamster stuff.
Copy !req
136. Oh, what good is that?
Copy !req
137. Wow, Hooded Avenger knows
about so many different things,
Copy !req
138. and I've just been
burying my head in this.
Copy !req
139. From now on, I want
to know everything.
Copy !req
140. I want to be a
fountain of wisdom
Copy !req
141. on every subject possible.
Copy !req
142. Oh, how I thirst for knowledge,
or maybe some Limburger soda.
Copy !req
143. Yeah, that sounds good.
Copy !req
144. But first, let's see if there's
something educational on TV.
Copy !req
145. - Elizabeth,
I've told you once.
Copy !req
146. I've told you a thousand times,
just one lump of sugar, please.
Copy !req
147. This tastes like a candy bar.
Copy !req
148. - Daddy, would you fix my tie?
Copy !req
149. - That's a job for your mummy.
Copy !req
150. Mummy!
Copy !req
151. Come in here and help your son.
Copy !req
152. Mummy!
Copy !req
153. Ah, there you are.
Copy !req
154. - Mummy, would you fix my tie?
Copy !req
155. - Don't just stand there.
Copy !req
156. Help the boy.
Copy !req
157. My good robe, you don't.
Copy !req
158. Now you've completely
wrecked my tea.
Copy !req
159. - Mummy.
Copy !req
160. - Lunch is just
around the corner.
Copy !req
161. I suppose you're
going to see you
Copy !req
162. way to ruining that
too. Ha.
Copy !req
163. Mummy and Daddy
will return after this.
Copy !req
164. - Today, Babe Ruth announced that
he will come out of retirement
Copy !req
165. and return to the major leagues.
Copy !req
166. In related news,
Babe Ruth is alive?
Copy !req
167. He walks the Earth.
Copy !req
168. Run for your lives!
Copy !req
169. Hey, you-a
pass the lasagna.
Copy !req
170. Ha, don't you get any
on ya, you sloppy pig.
Copy !req
171. Have-a more ravioli.
Copy !req
172. You-a get roly-poly a-nice and-a
big, like your cousin, Luigi.
Copy !req
173. Luigi, Luigi, capisce, paisan,
capisce, paisan, capisce,
Copy !req
174. paisan.
Copy !req
175. La lasagna, la lasagna,
la lasagna la lasagna.

know everything.
Copy !req
201. Hello?
Copy !req
202. Can Al
really know it all?
Copy !req
203. Or will he blow it
all by trying to learn
Copy !req
204. too many things at once?
Copy !req
205. AL: Don't go away.
Copy !req
206. We'll be right back.
Copy !req
207. And now, back to the show.
Copy !req
208. Wow, look at this.
Copy !req
209. The Know-It-All
Correspondence School
Copy !req
210. sent me the sum total
of mankind's accumulated
Copy !req
211. knowledge— and a cycle
phone, absolutely free.
Copy !req
212. - Well, that's the
last one there.
Copy !req
213. So if you just
sign here, please.
Copy !req
214. - Great.
Copy !req
215. I can hardly wait
to get started.
Copy !req
216. Pretty soon, I'm going to be the
most educated guy you ever met.
Copy !req
217. - Yeah, but that's, that's
really, really good.
Copy !req
218. Let me just find a
pen for you here, OK?
Copy !req
219. Would you mind holding this?
Copy !req
220. Oh, that's my PhD
in anthropology
Copy !req
221. and my degree in quantum
physics— ah, Nobel Prize.
Copy !req
222. Ah, here we go.
Here's a pen.
Copy !req
223. Oh, you're going
to need something
Copy !req
224. to bear down on, though.
Copy !req
225. Here, use my Master's thesis
on subatomic particles.
Copy !req
226. There you go, all righty.
Copy !req
227. Thanks a lot and good luck.
Copy !req
228. - OK, well,
let's get started, ah.
Copy !req
229. - Al, what's with all this?
Copy !req
230. - Oh, hey, Valerie.
Copy !req
231. These are all my new books.
Copy !req
232. I've made it my goal
to learn everything
Copy !req
233. there is to know in
the entire world.
Copy !req
234. - You can't really expect to
learn everything overnight.
Copy !req
235. I mean, it took me years of
work to become a master spy.
Copy !req
236. - Oh, come on, Val.
Copy !req
237. We all know you're
a spy, but what
Copy !req
238. makes you think
you're a master spy?
Copy !req
239. - Hmm, I'll show you.
Copy !req
240. These
are the socks you
Copy !req
241. were wearing up
until a second ago.
Copy !req
242. Got 'em while you were blinking.
Copy !req
243. - OK, well, thanks Val.
Copy !req
244. Glad you could
pop in and make me
Copy !req
245. feel even more insignificant.
Copy !req
246. - Oh, sure, I'd
love to—
Copy !req
247. - 20th Century Belgian
Philosophers—
Copy !req
248. hey, no pictures— boring.
Copy !req
249. Now, what else?
Copy !req
250. Oh, Advanced Geometry—
that sounds kind of hard.
Copy !req
251. Forget that.
Copy !req
252. I'm sure I can get my
money back on those.
Copy !req
253. Hey, 30 Seconds to
Martial Arts Mastery—
Copy !req
254. now, this sounds cool.
Copy !req
255. To begin your martial arts
training, look behind you.
Copy !req
256. Hello, little sensei.
Copy !req
257. My name is Kuni.
Copy !req
258. I will be your Judo instructor
for the next 30 seconds.
Copy !req
259. - Oh, OK, well, what do I—
Copy !req
260. - No questions!
Copy !req
261. We are on a very
serious schedule here.
Copy !req
262. OK.
Copy !req
263. - Now, the martial
arts I am to teach you
Copy !req
264. are only to be used for defense,
not for attack Let's begin.
Copy !req
265. Attack me!
Copy !req
266. - But you just said that—
Copy !req
267. - I know what I said.
Copy !req
268. Attack me!
Copy !req
269. - OK.
Copy !req
270. Well, that was kind of painful.
Copy !req
271. - Well, what do you expect?
You attacked me.
Copy !req
272. - But you told me to.
Copy !req
273. - Ah, with pain comes
wisdom, little wood tick.
Copy !req
274. - Ow, hey, that
wasn't for defense.
Copy !req
275. - Ah, but it was.
Copy !req
276. You are my opponent.
Copy !req
277. And as my opponent, I correctly
assumed that at some time,
Copy !req
278. you attack me.
Copy !req
279. Therefore, I can anticipate
the need for defense.
Copy !req
280. - I don't think I want
to take Judo from you.
Copy !req
281. - But your training has just
begun, little dung beetle.
Copy !req
282. Oops,
sorry, time is up.
Copy !req
283. Course is over.
- What?
Copy !req
284. Oh, I didn't learn very much.
Copy !req
285. - That is right,
little cockroach.
Copy !req
286. It takes time to
master any skill.
Copy !req
287. You did not learn because
you did not study.
Copy !req
288. You're so stupid.
Copy !req
289. Bye bye.
Copy !req
290. - Well, that was a
waste of 30 seconds.
Copy !req
291. Ah, what have we got here?
Copy !req
292. Ah, astral projection—
hey, I've heard of this.
Copy !req
293. Hey, look Harvey.
Copy !req
294. I'm going to learn how to
travel outside of my own body.
Copy !req
295. Ah, this should be a snap.
Copy !req
296. Prepare
yourself for astral projection.
Copy !req
297. First, completely
empty your mind,
Copy !req
298. as if there's
nothing there at all.
Copy !req
299. - That shouldn't be too hard.
Copy !req
300. Next, put
Copy !req
301. on your stimulus
sensory sunglasses,
Copy !req
302. and allow yourself to become
one with the universe.
Copy !req
303. Relax.
Copy !req
304. Breathe deep.
Copy !req
305. Soon, your spirit will separate
from your physical being.
Copy !req
306. You will be able to explore
the infinite possibilities
Copy !req
307. of traveling outside your body.
Copy !req
308. Discover your true purpose in
life, and still be home in time
Copy !req
309. for dinner.
Offer void in Nebraska.
Copy !req
310. - Hmm, I don't think
this is working.
Copy !req
311. Boy, what a bunch of—
Copy !req
312. Hey, it happened.
Copy !req
313. My spirit left my body.
Copy !req
314. OK, concentrate.
Copy !req
315. What's my greater purpose?
Copy !req
316. How do I want to use this
limitless opportunity?
Copy !req
317. Think I'll watch some TV.
Copy !req
318. Can't sleep?
Copy !req
319. Congested?
Copy !req
320. Runny nose?
Copy !req
321. - Ughhh.
Copy !req
322. Sore
throat, nagging cough?
Copy !req
323. Fever and
sinus infection?
Copy !req
324. - Ugh.
Copy !req
325. Dizzy,
nauseous, disoriented,
Copy !req
326. constipated,
memory loss, a little crazy,
Copy !req
327. can't
shake your evil self?
Copy !req
328. Haunted house,
knight in shining armor,
Copy !req
329. CIA agent, upside down
person, golden retriever,
Copy !req
330. huge beach ball, Miss
America, flying monkeys.
Copy !req
331. Oh, man.
Copy !req
332. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
333. This is my higher purpose?
Copy !req
334. I'm going back in my body.
Copy !req
335. Well, now I'm really
getting behind schedule.
Copy !req
336. But well, I should definitely
know everything in the world
Copy !req
337. by the time we come back.
Copy !req
338. I can't wait!
Copy !req
339. What has
Al learned so far?
Copy !req
340. Nothing!
Copy !req
341. Maybe that's because you
can't learn new information
Copy !req
342. unless you take
the time to study.
Copy !req
343. AL: Ha-ha-hey, stay tuned for
more of The Weird Al Show.
Copy !req
344. All right, The Weird
Al Show is back.
Copy !req
345. The blue-nostriled
pigeon keep its young
Copy !req
346. inside its left ear for the
entire length of gestation.
Copy !req
347. Hmm.
Copy !req
348. King Henry the Third had
a wart on his kneecap
Copy !req
349. in the shape of a small poodle.
Copy !req
350. Sure is a lot to learn.
Copy !req
351. Man, I'll never
remember all this.
Copy !req
352. I need a break.
Copy !req
353. You know what?
Copy !req
354. I think it's time for
a death-defying stunt
Copy !req
355. from the one, the only,
Harvey, the Wonder Hamster.
Copy !req
356. Hey, pal, how you doing?
Copy !req
357. Today, Harvey will
attempt to break
Copy !req
358. the all-time hamster
weightlifting record.
Copy !req
359. Good luck, pal!
Copy !req
360. All right,
concentrate, Harvey.
Copy !req
361. Come on.
Copy !req
362. Lift with the legs,
not with the back.
Copy !req
363. You can do it, Harvey.
Copy !req
364. You can do it.
Copy !req
365. Yes!
Copy !req
366. It's a brand new hamster
weightlifting record.
Copy !req
367. Oh, great job, pal.
Copy !req
368. Ah, well, time to
get back to the books.
Copy !req
369. - Well, that's how a fruit
drink can advertise itself
Copy !req
370. as all natural, even though
it only has 10% real juice.
Copy !req
371. Hey, Al.
Copy !req
372. How's the quest for
knowledge coming?
Copy !req
373. - Well, I was going to learn
everything in the world today,
Copy !req
374. but it's not really working out.
Copy !req
375. I took on so many subjects
that I don't have time
Copy !req
376. to really get to
know any of them.
Copy !req
377. In fact, I don't think
I learned anything.
Copy !req
378. - Well, what did you
expect, my friend?
Copy !req
379. You can learn
everything all at once.
Copy !req
380. It takes time.
Copy !req
381. And you've got to
really stick with it.
Copy !req
382. And most important of all,
you need pizza!
Copy !req
383. You can't learn on
an empty stomach.
Copy !req
384. - Oh, man, thanks.
Copy !req
385. What kind is it?
Copy !req
386. - Peanut butter
pizza, your favorite.
Copy !req
387. - Mmm, sounds great.
Well, you know what?
Copy !req
388. I'll join you guys in a second.
Copy !req
389. But first, I can tell by
the old clock on the wall
Copy !req
390. that once again, it's time
for
Copy !req
391. Al's mail bag.
Copy !req
392. That's right.
Copy !req
393. Well, let's see what we got
in the old mail bag this week.
Copy !req
394. Let's see.
Copy !req
395. Got a letter here
from Buffalo, NY.
Copy !req
396. And it says, Dear
Al, I have a problem.
Copy !req
397. The other day I swallowed
a watermelon seed.
Copy !req
398. Now, my older brother says
that watermelons are going
Copy !req
399. to grow in my stomach,
and that the doctor will
Copy !req
400. have to cut me open
to get them out.
Copy !req
401. And when he does, my brother
is going to steal them and sell
Copy !req
402. them in his own
watermelon stand and not
Copy !req
403. give me any of the money.
Copy !req
404. What should I do?
Copy !req
405. Signed, Nelson Sebastian
Gunderplatz, age seven.
Copy !req
406. Well, Nelson the answer is easy.
Copy !req
407. Get yourself a good
business lawyer.
Copy !req
408. I don't know about all
that medical stuff,
Copy !req
409. but it doesn't sound like
your brother has any right
Copy !req
410. to profit from a watermelon
business that you started.
Copy !req
411. And furthermore—
Copy !req
412. - Good grief, Harvey's choking.
Copy !req
413. The peanut butter's
too much for him.
Copy !req
414. - What are we going to do?
Copy !req
415. What are we going to do?
Copy !req
416. - Wow, Al,
that was amazing.
Copy !req
417. How did you know what to do?
Copy !req
418. - Oh, it's no big deal.
Copy !req
419. The hamster Heimlich
is one of the most
Copy !req
420. basic emergency procedures.
Copy !req
421. - Say, you've been studying
that book for some time now,
Copy !req
422. haven't you?
Copy !req
423. - Yeah, well, I've
always been really
Copy !req
424. interested in how to
take care of Harvey.
Copy !req
425. So I just concentrated on this
stuff and stuck with it in,
Copy !req
426. and I guess I'm kind
of an expert in it now.
Copy !req
427. Wow!
Copy !req
428. Don't go away.
Copy !req
429. We'll be right back.
Copy !req
430. Al learned
a lesson from Harvey.
Copy !req
431. Don't bite off more
than you can chew.
Copy !req
432. There's no substitute for taking
time to study one subject well.
Copy !req
433. Camp Superfun.
Copy !req
434. Camp Supercamp
is fun, fun, fun.
Copy !req
435. Camp Superfun is fun, fun, fun.
Copy !req
436. Fun fun, fun fun, fun fun fun.
Copy !req
437. Camp is fun when it Superfun.
Copy !req
438. Oo-oh fun.
Copy !req
439. Hey, everybody, want
to have some fun this summer?
Copy !req
440. Try Camp Superfun.
Copy !req
441. Camp Superfun is the
perfect camp for shapeless,
Copy !req
442. tall furry animals between
the ages of six and 13.
Copy !req
443. See you later Mom and Dad.
Copy !req
444. Fun fun,
fun fun, fun fun fun.
Copy !req
445. Camp is fun.
Copy !req
446. Camp Superfun.
Copy !req
447. Super fun.
Copy !req
448. Camp Superfun.
Copy !req
449. Jump in.
Copy !req
450. It's super fun.
Copy !req
451. AL: We'll be right back.
Copy !req
452. And don't you move.
Copy !req
453. Ha-ha-hey, it's time for
more of The Weird Al Show.
Copy !req
454. - Al, to honor your
knowledge of the subject
Copy !req
455. and to recognize your special
achievements in the field.
Copy !req
456. We'd all like to present you
with this honorary doctorate
Copy !req
457. in hamster maintenance.
Copy !req
458. - Congratulations, Al.
Copy !req
459. - Oh, oh, thanks, guys.
Copy !req
460. You know, our time is
about up for this week.
Copy !req
461. But I hope we've all learned
an important lesson here today.
Copy !req
462. And that is, that
real knowledge can't
Copy !req
463. be paid for in three easy
installments of $19.95.
Copy !req
464. Real knowledge takes work
and sacrifice and pizza—
Copy !req
465. and a really good reading lamp,
so you don't hurt your eyes.
Copy !req
466. So until next week,
remember to always, always,
Copy !req
467. always wear shark
repellent because you never
Copy !req
468. know when one's
gonna—
