disappear paradox 

The idea that if you supposedly went back in time to pick yourself up, and went back with yourself in the future, and something prevented you from going to the past (death, coma, etc), you would disappear from the time frame entirely, due to the fact that if you dissapeared in the past, you would dissapear in the future.

However, if you dissapeared in the future, you never would have been in the past to pick yourself up.
Disappear Paradox:
1. You're in the present.
2. You see yourself, and then you kidnap you.
3. you will dissapear from the time frame forever, probably because it's impossible to go back in time, or you are trapped in the future by death, coma, etc.
4. If you dissapear, then you're future self disappears, because you dissapear. However, you would never kidnap yourself if you dissapeared, and you would be back in the present, and you would kidnap yourself again. And again, and again...

Weird Al Paradox 

The phenomenon of a celebrity, most notably Weird Al Yankovic, who grows more popular the geekier he gets.

Another example would be Seth Green who is/was a co-star on geek shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Family Guy and went on to co-creating and participating in Robot Chicken, one of the geekiest shows in human history, while becoming in many people's eyes cooler and cooler.
Weird Al's song and video for White and Nerdy were both extremely popular but also chock full of geek references, it's quite the Weird Al Paradox.
