We’ve split the post up into eight pages to prevent your browser from melting from 45 embedded videos, but if you’re feeling ballsy, you can see it as one page right here.

As a kid who didn’t fit in, I couldn’t relate to the cool and popular version, but I could relate to Al’s.Īl started directing most of his videos in the 90s, but more recently he’s switched over to using animation to make his videos. But Al’s more than a musical chameleon, he takes what’s popular and makes it accessible to the people who aren’t.

When MTV was just starting out, Al became one of the first people to inject humor into the relatively new art form. He’s also created a venerable roster of hilarious and memorable music videos.
With over 150 songs in his repertoire, he’s taken on nearly every musical genre and pop culture reference imaginable.
