Weird Al Yankovic 'First World Problems' Parody Of The Pixies: 6th Video Of 8 From 'Mandatory Fun' [VIDEO]

It is day six of eight in Weird Al Yankovic's epic 8 videos in 8 day for his album "Mandatory Fun"

"Weird Al" is celebrating the occasion by complaining about forgetting his gardener's name and buying things he doesn't need off Amazon so he can qualify for free shipping. In other words, it's time for "First World Problems," Yankovic's stylistic tribute to the music of The Pixies.

The video premiered at Pop Crush, which you can't embed, so you're going to have to click that link to see it for yourself. It's almost like a "First World Problems" meta-joke.

Done in the musical style of the Pixies, Yankovic hilariously rants about everything from his electric toothbrush running out to missing out on breakfast because he slept in too late, all while angrily running around in a self-proclaimed "douchey blonde wig."

"I got first world, first world problems."

"The thread count on these cotton sheets has got me itchin' / My house is so big I can't get Wi-Fi in my kitchen" and "I had to buy something I didn't even need so I could qualify for free shipping on Amazon!"

While we've all been there, there's no denying that Weird Al's character in the video is a bit of a pretentious jerk, something he told us about with a laugh.

"I told [director Liam Lynch] that I didn't want to be myself; I wasn't Weird Al in this video - I was kind of like this douchey character," he told PopCrush. "So we thought, 'OK, we'll find you a douchey blonde wig ... [which was made of] real human hair ... and I tried it on, and it fit, and we had fun with it!"
