AI didn't steal nothing. SHITTY companies "think" they can replace people work with AI and Robots. And i hope them to fall miserably.

BTW. If a Parody is stealing, then all the art even created is stealing from what there was before.

Are those angel or children Jackson molested? I mean if it's his heaven.

If Al is so great why did he lose on Jeopardy?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

I know. He just couldn't get the questions right.

Weird Al explicitly gets permission before doing a parody. Usually artists ask/beg him to do them. This comic is BS.

The comic isn't serious

This is the artist for The Onion

Al also happily shared the comic yesterday on BlueSky.

Kelly comics are intentional satire of the political comic style and topics.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

They're really fucking good at it, then.

Kelly is one of the best parody comic creators in the business. I believe he works for The Onion?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The "Stan Kelly" persona itself is a fictional satire. The work is actually done by cartoonist Ward Sutton, whose standard political cartoons under his own name criticize the right wing directly.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

Hell yeah Ward. I didn’t know that, thank you!

His self-portrait as a sour boomer grandpa is the icing on the cake.

Except for Coolio. Coolio had mad beef.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

A few weeks ago, I think I read (here on Lemmy!) that he regretted his beef. In fact, I think he said he thought his managers gave him bad information to cause the beef.

Before that I didn't even know there was any, so please don't think me any kind of expert on the topic.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 hours ago

I remember it was that he felt his managers should have told him he was an idiot more than they misinformed him. He was upset about what they did say, not what they said.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 hours ago

Haha, that's how I know about it too. I just read some interview with Coolio a few weeks ago where he talked about it. The interview was linked here on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 hours ago

He sure acted right on his follow up though.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I remember an interview where Al was talking about his early career. Madonna asked him “When ya gonna do ‘Like a Surgeon’”? They talked about it, and she said “But only if I can be in the video.” Al, who was MUCH less popular than Madonna at the time, couldn’t say “Okay!” fast enough.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago

And then they fell madly in love. Madonna was a terrible influence on Al, leading him to a life of debauchery and selfishness, which culminated down to Columbia, where he was involved in a shootout with Pablo Escobar... or so his autobiographical movie told me.

"Ok, you can have a million dollars, but only if I can give you a car too" 😄

[–] [email protected] 20 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Coolio was pissed that Al parodied him. He regretted it later in life and realized Al was great.

The video for Fat was awesome.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Hang on. This ain’t a real Kelly, there’s no crying Statue of Liberty.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 hours ago

I can’t tell what the moral is without lady liberty crying.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

From the art, this looks like a verrrry early one. Must not have added it to the repertoire yet.

I hope Al sees this, because I think he'd think it's hilarious.
