The Flash animators at SuperNews! recently took some time away from season 2 to animate singer/songwriter/satirist “Weird Al” Yankovic. Below is his latest music video, which was directed by Josh Faure-Brac and Dustin McLean. The track is Ringtone, a style-parody of Queen’s music, and the you can see pics of the crew over at the SuperNews! blog creating the companion Collabo-Jam TV special.
A note to Los Angeles-based readers… Doug Bresler, the creator of Doogtoons and the animator behind “Weird Al” Yankovic’s animated Trapped in the Drive-Thru short, will be hosting a free seminar at the Santa Monica Apple Store this Saturday at 3pm. According to Bresler’s site, he’ll be giving a behind-the-scenes look at his most popular Flash-animated shorts and insight into the animation process. The event, titled Making Cartoons the Doogtoons Way, is scheduled to last 2 hours.
Bresler has also been animating on a popular GoPotato.tv series called Eli’s Dirty Jokes. Here’s the latest episode titled The Farmer’s Daughters.

Weird Al’s Childhood
Late last year, Doug Bresler, the creator of Doogtoons and Nick and Haig, animated an interview with “Weird Al” Yankovic. The two have reunited for a second animated project – this time on a music video. Bresler animated and directed an 11-minute parody of R. Kelly’s ‘hip-hopera’ saga Trapped in the Closet. The track is called Trapped In The Drive-Thru and it’s off Yankovic’s latest release Straight Outta Lynwood, his most successful chart album in the U.S.
Today marks 
the launch of the latest JibJab original animation. The song is a parody of American Idol’s Taylor Hicks.
JibJab collaborated with the artist who has sold the most comedy albums in history, and he recently had his first Billboard Top 10 hit – it’s none other than “Weird Al” Yankovic. JibJab and Weird Al have teamed up to bring you the animated music video for Yankovic’s latest single, Do I Creep You Out, which is off Straight Outta Lynwood, the album that spawned White and Nerdy.
The live-action White and Nerdy music video , which was also directed by Yankovic, is a rarity on this recent album, which has produced mostly animated videos. Weeks ago, CHF covered what is perhaps the most animated album in history.
Congrats to the whole JibJab team!
