Obviously, Pauly Shore isn't an UnacceptableTarget in general, far from it, but Weird Al's songs pick on him on multiple occasions. The earliest instance of Pauly Shore-bashing in a song is in "Albuquerque", which was released in 1999. ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'' came out in 1995. But what does that have to do with anything? Pauly's character in that movie was shown with a can of Cheez Whiz, not once, but ''three'' times in his extremely limited screentime, including eating it straight from the can and from a giant blob in his hand. Now, in the song "Nature Trail to Hell" (released in 1984), there is a subliminal message that says "Satan eats Cheez Whiz." Clearly, ''no one'' is more interested in eating Cheez Whiz than this character, so the character must be Satan. Since Pauly Shore speaks for him, ''he'' must be Satan, and Weird Al simply pokes fun at him to keep him in line and prevent him from destroying the world.

[[WMG: The "box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels" from "Albuquerque" is connected to "Weasel Stomping Day"]]

The unnamed town from "Weasel Stomping Day" has weasels imported and let loose once a year specifically to celebrate the title holiday by stomping on them. Twelve of one year's Weasel Stomping Day weasels got misdirected and somehow ended up being shipped to a donut shop in Albuquerque instead: The donut shop staff are apathetic enough that they just left the box in the back of the store and let the weasels become starving and crazed through neglect. The guy behind the counter was relatively new, knew nothing about this, and had somehow assumed that the box of starved, crazed weasels were supposed to be part of the inventory, so he sold them to Al. Or it's the other way around: Al was so angry about having been mauled by weasels that he insulated himself into a town's government just to declare a new holiday revolving around killing them.

Seen in a YouTube comment: Either "Pentiums" is a sequel about how the singer became a "gangster" of sorts BECAUSE he was "white and nerdy" by being an incredibly successful programmer, or they are simply [[BoastfulRap Boastful Raps]] about his work life and free time (respectively) at the same point in his life.

At the dramatic climax of "Trapped in the Drive-Thru", the protagonist realizes that he didn't bring his wallet with him to the drive-thru. The song does not address where he might have left it. Look in any comments section related to the song, and you'll see the common fan theory: The first of the song's many tangents sees the protagonist getting a phone call from his cousin, Larry, for the third time that day, and ignoring it, implicitly also for the third time. Many fans have guessed that he left his wallet with Larry, who has been trying to reach him to let him know.

* The plotline goes like this: Dude with the Poodle Hat (the person that the album's about) is a ''Couch Potato'', because life in his hometown is boring. People scold him for this, and he has to go outside. He gains friends, but still watches television a lot. Later, one of his friends tells him about the new ''Hardware Store'' that's opening up where the gas station was. Excited by this, he forgets to basic things, like brush his teeth and comb his hair. After the hardware store opens, he realizes that his house is disgusting, because: a) he forgot to take out the trash, and b) him being a slob. Dude with the Poodle Hat decides that this day is ''Trash Day''. After making the house clean, he decides to go to a party for his good work. However, the only party in his local area is a ''Party at the Leper Colony''. After that, he decides that he could make an album about his life. It fails. Dude with the Poodle Hat is angry about this, and decides to marry a lady. He uses cheesy pick-up line, and fails to inform the lady why he ''Wanna B Ur Lovr''. Failing this, he writes a letter to his mom about the frustration he has about his album not selling, and him not getting a girlfriend. He lies about his encounter with girls. His mother writes him telling him to stop being so furious, like the songs found in the {{Medley}} ''Angry White Boy Polka''. At the same time, Joe, one of his friends, decides to host a pizza party, but no one arrives, due to work. (Yes, the Dude with the Poodle Hat got a job.) Joe eats all 19 extra larges, and gets constipated. Due to the fact that no one came to his pizza party, and that he is all alone, he made up his mind that he needs a girlfriend. He finds one, but, although he likes his "girlfriend", he doesn't want her as a girlfriend, so he tosses her out into the dating pool again. After that, he asks his friends if they would like to go to an amusement park. They say yes, and go there. He stands up on the ride, and dies. Dude with the Poodle Hat makes an eulogy about Joe, and makes ''A Complicated Song''. He becomes a couch potato again, and is watching WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons, when suddenly, an earthquake in Peru interrupts his program. Later, he goes to work, but a twelve car pile-up creates a traffic jam. Finally, he gets to work, and is out of toner. These events that took place leave him asking, "''Why Does This Always Happen to Me?''". Some time later, he becomes a ComicBook/SpiderMan fan, and watches the Spider-Man movie. It becomes his #1 favorite movie, and it gets him out of his funk. He makes an ''Ode to a Superhero'' (Spider-Man) to thank him. Later, he befriends a man named ''Bob''. Bob is an expert on ''[=eBay=]'', and teaches Dude with the Poodle Hat. His first purchase was a poodle hat, explaining the album's title. Dude with the Poodle Hat becomes a master at [=eBay=], and buys everything mentioned in the song, and more. While all the events are happening, his album that he recorded becomes famous. The Americans don't like the album, while the French love it. The dude's album is considered a ''Genius in France'', and so is Dude with the Poodle Hat. The French want him to make another album, and he does, calling it Music/PoodleHat.
