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.

Non-regular A: "What? How can you be a regular without being let in regularly? This bar is a paradox"
Non-regular B: "Yeah, fucking Paradox Bar"
