'Weird Al' Yankovic breaks down the debate with Songified 'WE'RE ALL DOOMED'

If there's anyone we need to lighten the mood in this hellscape of a year, it's "Weird Al" Yankovic. Thankfully, the legendary parody artist teamed up with YouTube channel schmoyoho to do just that with the song "WE'RE ALL DOOMED."

In classic Weird Al style, he doesn't hold back and literally calls 2020 a "raging hellscape." The video displays him acting as the debate moderator, asking questions in autotune and receiving autotuned answers from Trump and Biden in return. With references to TikTok, hurricanes, and even the murder hornets (remember those?), Yankovic delivers a dizzying, explosive song that encapsulates the apocalyptic post-debate mood.

Only two more to go, everyone!
