Nobody likes standing in an airport security line—not even a famously happy-go-lucky guy like Weird Al Yankovic. The beloved song parodist was recently spotted looking less than enthused about TSA procedure, probably because they made him check his accordion case.
Weird Al looking sad in the airport security lineOnce Reddit had reckoned with the strangeness of seeing a perennially cheerful entertainer brought low by the tedium of commercial air travel, they got down to making the inevitable Sad Weird Al memes, which of course owe a debt to the iconic Sad Keanu Reeves memes.

Or was Yankovic experiencing a premonition of surviving a horrific plane crash, as described in his seminal 1996 epic "Albuquerque"?
In any event, Weird Al himself is being a great sport. As you'd expect.
Aww, I'm honored that my "waiting in an airport security line" face has inspired a whole "Sad Weird Al" meme! https://t.co/Hd5dpn1rAE
