  • September 13, 1997

The Weird Al Show is a musical comedy series starring "Weird Al" Yankovic, a parody singer and songwriter. In season 1 episode 1, titled "Bad Influence," Weird Al kicks off the show with a performance of his hit song "Dare to Be Stupid." The episode then takes on a talk show format, with Weird Al as the host and various guests appearing throughout the show.

The main plot of the episode focuses on a skit in which Weird Al portrays a rebellious teenager named Bobby, who is influenced by his troublemaking friend Buzz. Bobby's parents are concerned about his behavior and seek the help of Dr. Demento, played by guest star "Weird Al" Yankovic (in a dual role). Dr. Demento counsels Bobby and helps him to understand the importance of making good choices and being a positive influence on others.

In addition to the main plot, the episode also features a variety of comedic sketches and musical performances. One standout sketch features Weird Al as a superhero called "The Hooded Avenger," who battles a villainous character named "The Chameleon." Another sketch is a spoof of the TV show "Wheel of Fortune," called "Wheel of Fish." In this sketch, Weird Al plays a contestant who wins some highly unusual prizes, including a red snapper and a large fish head.

Musical performances in the episode include a rendition of "I Love Rocky Road," as well as a new version of the song "Girls Just Want to Have Lunch," featuring Weird Al as a lunch lady serving up some questionable cuisine in a school cafeteria.

Throughout the episode, Weird Al interacts with a variety of guests, including his band members (who play a fictionalized version of themselves), a group of kid reporters who ask him some tough questions, and his own alter ego, who offers some humorous commentary on the proceedings.

Overall, season 1 episode 1 of The Weird Al Show is a lighthearted and irreverent introduction to Weird Al's unique brand of humor and music. With its mix of musical performances, sketch comedy, and talk show-style segments, the episode offers something for everyone and sets the stage for the rest of the season.
