    I think they’re referring to the documentary with Daniel Radcliffe playing him (but I never saw it so I can’t be certain). Apparently Weird Al said they could just write whatever story they wanted about his life or something like that and seemingly they ran with that.

    I generally like Weird Al and his works, but I don’t really get that … Joke? Seems like it makes the “documentary” pretty pointless.

      It’s literally a parody of biopics, which now that I think about it is the perfect way to make a Weird Al biopic.

      Also based off a funnyordie video a few years ago with Aaron Paul as Weird Al.
