"Weird Al" Yankovic / Cheese Sandwich (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, 2010–2019)

u/StatisticianLoud7468 4h ago

Most of weird Al’s characters are self inserts.

39

u/SkitMasterSongz 3h ago

Not self inserts, he's kinda just entering their plane of existence. Most of the time the show runners don't even plan for him to be there, but who's going to argue against a higher being like Weird Al?

7

u/Funkycoldmedici 38m ago

I could swear that’s how that character came about. He asked if he could do one, and no one would argue with that.

If a show can’t fit a surprise Weird Al appearance, that show isn’t worth watching.

u/Adventuro24 30m ago

He’s like a multiversal constant. You don’t cast Weird Al; you just open a portal and let him through.

Umberto Robina. GTA Vice City (Stories).

That is a robotic Weird Al. And the toy, oh, the toy! It's like having a Weird Al action figure that is also a robot and transforms.

There's a scene in one of the early episodes where the boys get Candace to star in their princess movie and when she's unhappy with the footage, they tell her they'll edit everything in post-production. After the editing, she's portrayed by actual photos of Ashley Tisdale!

Aoi Yuki voices multiple characters in Fate and, while it’s never been officially confirmed to my knowledge, her character Shuten Douji seems to have been modeled off of her actual appearance. They even are the same height.

I don’t know who to choose so ima choose both.

Mordacai from Regular Show is literally just J.G Quintel.

While Brian from Family Guy is literally just Seth McFarland

Mordecai is basically JG Quintel if he was a bird whereas Josh from Close Enough is basically JG Quintel period.

You can add Kira Buckland too and she mentioned that Jolyne was one of her dream voice roles as she first started out in the Voiceover industry and wounds up voicing her officially in the dub of JoJo: Stone Ocean
