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 primarily known for his skills on the accordion, which is a central instrument in many of his parodies and original songs. He also plays the piano, guitar, and occasionally other instruments depending on the song's requirements. His musical versatility allows him to create a wide range of comedic and satirical music.
Yes. Some are parodies which make fun of real songs. However, most of Weird Al's material is original songs he's written himself.

There are far too many Star Trek parodies to be able to count, and many of them are clean.
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.
