Black Comedy | |
| Dare to Be Stupid (Music) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: "Like a Surgeon" is perhaps the most hilarious song about extreme medical malpractice in the world. The music video ups the ante even further, showing Al as a cartoonish meatgrinder surgeon who doesn't even have basic knowledge about human anatomy. | |

Food Songs Are Funny: "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch" is a sort of Self-Parody example, as Al was mandated to do a parody of Cyndi Lauper and so intentionally did it in the laziest way possible. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Dare to Be Stupid (Music) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: Invoked with "Girls Just Wanna Have Lunch" as a form of Writer Revolt. The label was dead against releasing the album without a Cyndi Lauper parody, so Yankovic deliberately made the song as unlistenable as possible: the lyrics are repetitive and nonsensical (the only joke being "women are obsessed with eating lunch and only lunch"); Al sings in a harsh, grating Simpleton Voice that sounds as if he's constantly on the verge of throwing up; and the song is occasionally punctuated with disgusting chewing and slurping sound effects set at a high volume in a rare audio version of Gross-Up Close-Up. | |

Rhetorical Request Blunder: A meta version, as "Like a Surgeon" was the result of this. Madonna jokingly asked when Weird Al would write a song with this title while promoting the eponymous album the source song came from. | |

Parody Assistance | |
| Dare to Be Stupid (Music) / int_60c53080 | comment |
Parody Assistance: Madonna asked one of her friends (who was also friends with Al's manager Jay Levey) how long it would be before Al satirized "Like a Virgin", and when Al got word that Madonna wanted him to parody her song, Al recorded "Like a Surgeon." For "George of the Jungle", Al got Bill Scott, the original voice of George, to do vocal effects. | |

I Can't Hear You: Used on the last chorus of "Dare To Be Stupid." When the backup singers respond with the title, Al says "Okay, I can hear you now!" In concerts, he'll turn this into an Overly Long Gag where he'll keep saying that he can't hear the audience. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Dare to Be Stupid (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Slime Creatures from Outer Space" includes a line from an SCTV sketch. The vinyl of this album has "More Songs About TV and Food" etched into the inner groove. "Dare to Be Stupid's" line "You'd better sell some wine before its time" is a parody of Orson Welles' commercials for Paul Masson wines, whose tagline was "We will sell no wine before its time". The line "You better squeeze all the Charmin you can when Mr. Whipple's not around" is a reference to an old series of commercials for Charmin toilet paper, while "You can be a coffee achiever" is a reference to a 1980s ad campaign from the National Coffee Association. The phrase "It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys" is a reference to "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" by Waylon Jennings. The video for "Dare to Be Stupid" has one of Al's characters watching stock footage on an interociter. | |

Lyrical Dissonance: Cable TV is a peppy, upbeat song about a depressed guy whose life is empty and was losing the will to live, and obsessively watches television as an unhealthy coping mechanism while dismissing his friends' concerns over his mental health. | |

Obliquely Obfuscated Occupation: The narrator of "This is the Life" talks a lot about his money, but not about how he got it; the most we get is his claim that "I make a fortune while I sleep," implying that whatever company he's in charge of basically runs itself at this point. | |

Conspicuous Consumption: "This Is the Life" has the narrator bragging about all the stuff he can afford because he's rich. | |
