Absolutely not. Al is very considerate of the artists he parodies. He won't go forward with any material unless the original artist gives the OK. If fact, it is now seen as a compliment to have Weird Al parody your song.
the law supports Weird Al's ability to parody without permission. He asks the artist before he makes the parodies. Even after the confusion with Coolio, I don't believe Weird Al has ever been sued for something that had anything to do with his songs and artist/angry fans of the artist he parodied.

Weird Al Yankovic is an American musician that mainly writes parodies of popular songs. He was born on October, 23 1959 and is currently 53 years old.
Some polka song titles are Pennsylvania Polka, Let's Have a Party, and Just Because. Some other polka songs are On Your Toes and What Do I Care.
His parodies are not meant to make fun of other's songs, but to poke fun at American trends and popular culture. Most artists are more than happy to have Weird Al use their music, considering it a compliment.

People make parodies of songs as a form of humor or satire to poke fun at the original lyrics, artist, or style. Parodies can also be a way to provide social commentary or to highlight absurdities in popular culture.
No, he wasn't. In fact he and Michael Jackson were friends, and Jackson even liked Weird Al's parodies of his songs. When Weird Al was recording "Fat" and "Eat It", Jackson even gave some pointers on the dance choreography and showed Weird Al where he filmed his own videos so that Weird Al could use the same spots.
No, not really. He does funny music (parodies and original songs). His live concerts are almost all singing, very little talking. He does some voiceover work for cartoons and a little bit of acting, but no standup.
