    They kind of died for a little while. I remember seeing Weird Al talking about how they didn’t make any music videos for one of his albums, I think mid-/late-’00s. Then when his next album came around YouTube had made them so important that they made some sort of video for every song on that album. They weren’t all fully produced like in the heyday of MTV, but they wanted to have something to upload.

      That was one of my favorite parts of Mandatory Fun’s rollout, also knowing it was his last album on his major label contract it’s a little bittersweet. I hope he somehow makes the time to give us another one soon, his pop hits polka medley that came out 2ish years ago was pretty good imo

      I think it was Poodle Hat? I don’t remember any music videos for Poodle Hat.

      Eminem shot down the video for Trash Day, Al himself decided against a video for eBay because eBay was doing musical parody commercials at the time, and they rushed out one for Bob.
