Watch Weird Al Star In A Commercial For Radio Shack, Which Still Exists

10:28 AM EST on November 12, 2014

Radio Shack and "Weird Al" Yankovic are 1980s pop culture institutions that have survived and thrived to this day. Appropriately, they've teamed up for a new commercial. Yankovic -- who is rocking facial hair again, in case that interests you -- plays a Willy Wonka-like character guiding holiday shoppers through the magical toy land that is Radio Shack in search of drones for kids (which is apparently a real thing). The ad is quick and funny, so watch below.

In case you've forgotten, Yankovic scored his first ever #1 album this year and released several of the year's best music videos.
