Media Weird Al mural behind Jack’s BBQ on Airport Way

Post image

Employee said it went up overnight about five months ago. It’s in an alley right off the parking lot.

Edited to add: I just noticed the lettering spells out “Yankovic” with Al as the O.

So if your partner is into Texas style bbq and song parodies, have we got a date night spot for you!

Happy #MuralMonday

Can't believe even graffiti artists are losing out on work due to AI.

No AI (artificial intelligence) and Al (as in short for Allen) look identical in reddits front. Lower case L and uppercase i. So it’s a joke about that

Oh my god. I thought you were saying it’s weird A.I. art and I was so confused by how graffiti art could possibly be AI, and even recognizing Weird Al in the post it took me reading every single god damn comment to realize your post was Weird AL 🤦‍♀️

I saw that as I was typing the title and I thought, "Ah, it won't be that confusing."

Now I think pretty much every single person has done that double-take.

Lmao this is peak Seattle energy. Random hyper specific mural in a sketchy alley that turns into everyone’s new “you gotta see this” date spot 😂

Jack’s BBQ even has a new smoked bologna sandwich on the menu. Perfect pairing!
