This was in Hawaii, it was probably a rental car. Al lives there part of the year, but it would hardly make sense to keep a car parked there unused for so much time.
It only dawns on me now years later that there was another layer to this video where you expect him to throw it into the ocean as an escalation of the pool, but instead he bashes it with a rock.
love you Al such a big fan that i saw you at Hersey park for the Al 2k tour and even went to Monroe Wa. to see you at the Cow Days fest. and never miss you here in chicago!!!
I have a SHARP LED TV which recently developed a similar issue but local tech support has been as good as nonexisting. Al got the advice it seems I will need to follow quite soon. Outlook is so bleak I just went out and bought a new LG. SHARP should be more careful about who they hand over their brand to. Reliability and support are key elements to getting a repeat customer.
"Blinking lights you say? Try holding hte power button down." "Hmmm so its not working still?" "Well I supposed you could drop a heavy rock on it." "Yeah that usually gets it" "...Trust me...."
It's funny how you lifted the TV off the stand and walked away with it, without unplugging it. Tells me maybe it wasn't plugged in. Oh wait it had two blinking lights, must of had power. Wow Weird, I guess that's why your Weird Al ;) Always enjoyed your music through the years, I guess you have made me a little weird myself.
WEIRD AL IS THE GREATEST!!! GOOD SET LISTS THIS YEAR AL...YOU MAKE ME AND LET ME BE YOUR HOG/DARE TO BE STUPID...KEEP THE CLASSICS FLOWING OUT MAN!!!!!!
Love it! Love! Give me a rock too! I want to try this. ;-) Reminds me of my many many calls to tech support over the past few months. (Directv and Centurylink)...It would just plain feel good to drop a rock on something!
I once had a Sharp TV. About a year after I bought it, it lost one horizontal row of pixels, whick made a black line, right across the middle! Thank goodness for Costco's 2-year warranty! They paid me back in full! I would have loved to have thrown a rock through that Sharp TV, but I had to get my money back! I bought a Sony Bravia TV to replace it, and 13 years later, that Sony TV is still kicking!
"I got it for Christmas and, um... I'm not getting any picture on it." "Oh, you got it for Christmas? In that case, you want to drive to a secluded area and smash it with a large rock." ... "No, that didn't do it." "It didn't? Well, you could try returning it then."
Interesting how people can watch a famous person do the most boring of tasks, like talking to tech support, and they'll make it seem like the most riveting thing ever.
I stayed with a host family in Germany once, and they had the same TV. I read the manual and I figured out that OPC light was Optimum Picture Control, or the name for Sharp's automatic contrast control system.
@EthanF44 Sorry. I meant for it to say, "Who knew Al likes to drop rocks on Sharp objects." That's what I get for both typing out comments on a Kindle Fire and allowing its built-in Autocorrect take full control of what words I type in. Both are horrible. Argh!!!
Weird Al:"Hello, I think my TV is not working" Tech support:"Have you tried...." *After smashing TV* Weird Al:"Okay I smashed it" Tech support:"Now your sure it doesn't work... Thanks for calling"
See, the problem was that the DVD player is in the pool... it doesn't have that much range.
BrutalSwede XD LOL
LMBO
I guess you could say that the DVD player went off the deep end.😏

So true.

Dude I found it about 3 days ago XD
I just found out about 8 years later
Well, I'm angry that I just discovered Weird Al this year. Yep, this one's from 2019.
omg a starving child in Africa could have eaten that TV
I know. *_WHAT WASTE._* .__.
or the phone
I could have eaten that TV.

I could have eaten that TV AND phone, and the dvd player.

The fact that this man actually carried a tv all the way down there, and then was able to LIFT THE ROCK. This dude is amazing
Carrying an accordion for hours every day makes you really strong.
Accodions weigh a ton.
When you walked down to the cliff edge, it just seemed like the ending to a really tear- jerking, scenic film.
those were very specific directions
holly clown OMG! I genuinely just realised that after I read your comment! And ya I do agree, those were *-very-* specific instructions!
You missed your chance to say "those were very *Pacific* directions." :)
Weird Al lives in Hawaii? NICE.
Yes he lives on Maui up in the country. Maybe one of the most beautiful and secluded places on earth.
+JimmyJazz332 I think he only lives there part time, I know he has a house somewhere in the Hollywood Hills, I think.
Talk about Rocky Road. Literally.
I love rocky road
i wish al would do more of these
Better buy more of his albums, and merch' then so he can afford to destroy more stuff. ;)
I knew it was you because of the big red X.
Sadly, he won't
It was probably already broken so that’s why he had no shame in destroying it.
This is why I love "Weird Al". Comedic genius.

I feel Al's pain. My dad has two Sharp TVs, and both of them conked out on different occasions. Moral of the story: Don't buy Sharp TVs.
I guess Sharp Electronics weren't really that SHARP when it comes to their TVs..
I love how he drove all the way to the ocean cliff side, just to hit it with a big rock.
I'm actually impressed that he could lift of rock that size with such ease but hurl it with such mighty force.
Who knew Al was ripped?
Would Frank have this problem with his 2000 in. T.V?

"It's definitely plugged in" : (Doesn't have a single wire going into it)
I'm sure that's how we consumers feel when tech support isn't much help. Good one Al!
He’s famous and rich, but drives that minivan
That's why he remains rich lol
This makes me think of Office Space. And that's always a good thing.
Great work Al!! Thanks for continuing to make albums and lighten the mood up...exactly what this country needs now...
I always wondered how all those old cars and TVs ended up in the middle of fields.
First world problems
I love how he has a fairly normal house and a normal car
wich is wierd
Dura Smiley So Weird Al actually leads a relatively normal life, who would have known...
must be nice being rich
Televisions are disposable.
Work hard and you too can be rich. Don't just hate on the rich, show some work ethic and become rich yourself!

when did i hate?
Sorry, I must have misunderstood your comment. Have a nice day.

"Ok, try taking the TV somewhere close to the river and smash it with a heavy rock."

He said bring it to the store, not bring it to the shore.
I thought he was going to throw the TV into the ocean.
I love how Al cheers me right up!
This video is so stupid. Simply throwing a rock at a TV isn't going to fix it. It has to be an underhanded throw not over handed. Smh
This was meant to be a joke video.
That was meant to be a joke comment.
Akid HTF r/wooosh
Clearly you have no idea who weird al is
kyson stop trolling it was for sheer comedy duhhh SMH
I knew rock beat scissors, and tv beat paper but I didn't know rock beat tv...... hmmm you've just changed my entire perspective on life.
The destruction of that TV made me cry a little inside.. I repair LCD TVs at the a repair center for a living..
I could see Weird Al making an entire series of these videos lol

Weird Al yankovic I love your song Ricky
At first I thought "No, Al, you're supposed to throw car batteries in the ocean, not TVs!"
Next time you get a shoddy piece of tech like that, I'll take it off your hands for ya at no cost.
R.I.P Tv ????-2010 we will miss you
I think this is the best camera quality of 2010
The stone must definitelly help.
Can`t be a real TV. But the situation gives real laughter.
such a beatiful view
this was me with an LG BluRay player. may it rest in pieces.

Interesting how people can watch a famous person do the most boring of tasks, like talking to tech support, and they'll make it seem like the most riveting thing ever.
Have you tried turning it off and back on again? Tell it you want to just be friends, but then take it on a romantic dinner and a moonlit walk?
Next, Al pushes his desk across the room when the cursor gets to the end of the line.
I'm in hysterics! Thank you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR Your Royal Weirdness! ;-)

@shadowartist the Sharp televisions also have inputs on the back of the set, not just the side ones we see.
I am really surprised they didn’t work... It usually does
Just brilliant 👌🏻
I love this guy
His cordless house phone has a long range . . .
or does it? (He said: "Hello?")
That must have been so satisfying to do.
i'm glad his camera still works
Awesome shirt. That's my favorite part.
Best laugh I’ve had all day!
This is why I learned how to fix stuff by myself
he really rocked that tv
As soon as i saw the TV, I knew shit was gonna get real
That poor tv D: Though I won't argue that, that was pretty funny
Things are really going well for Al if he can afford these unconventional fixes of his stuff.
Even by 2011 standards, that TV was outdated. Nothing of value was lost.
Damn that rock looks heavy as hell
Not as heavy as Al's accordion. They weigh a ton!!
Beautiful!!!! Hilarious. XDDD (And the scenery was pretty too.)
Having worked in Tech Support (Dell GTS Large Business Support) -- I can't tell you how tempting telling someone something like this would be. :)
Who knew Alex to drop rocks on Sharp objects.
@EthanF44 Sorry. I meant for it to say, "Who knew Al likes to drop rocks on Sharp objects." That's what I get for both typing out comments on a Kindle Fire and allowing its built-in Autocorrect take full control of what words I type in. Both are horrible. Argh!!!

Well if sacrificing your TV to the deity of the ocean didn't do anything, I don't know what will!

The funny the warranty specifically covers this!
I always thought his house would be full of trinkets and other junk.
You might be tamed down by the life, but the rockstar lifestyle never leaves you.
When you have enough money to throw a flat screen LCD TV off a cliff, you can retire early.
Your the Allen Parsons of videos. Great job Weird Al.
i will never get use to either Al or my dad without their moustaches......
Oh, I get it! The formula is:
The surface area of the broken object X The cost = The amount of water needed to fix it.
Its SO simple!
That's quite a beautiful spot he broke the TV at.
Dear Al,
Next time, instead of destroying your expensive, non working TV, could I have it?
Al you’re a multimillionaire, spring for the Sony
Jeez, Al, be careful you don't end up... LIVING WITH A HERNIA
Somehow, this reminded me of Highlander.
