'WARNING: TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME BEFORE WATCHING THE LOGO. IT ALSO HAS EXTREMELY QUICK FLASHING, SO ABSTAIN FROM WATCHING IF YOU ARE PRONE TO SEIZURES.'

Nicknames: "The Flashing Words", "DAAAAH! DILALALILILWAWAWAWAWA!!!!", "The Bite Me Logo", "Black-and-White Police Siren on Steroids", "Ear Breaker", "Grayscale Flashing", "Metal Ear Booker"

Logo: On a rapidly flashing black and white background, we see the words "EAR BOOKER PRODUCTIONS" in FF Blur (a blobby version of Helvetica) zooming in, inverting its colors accompanying with the flashing background, and stopping in the center.

FX/SFX: The flashing and zooming.

Music/Sounds: A condensed version of Yankovic's song "Bite Me". It consists of several synth shattering effects, a cacophony of loud guitars, and Weird Al screaming at the top of his lungs.

Music/Sounds Trivia: "Bite Me" originally appeared at the end of (some pressings of) the CD version of Yankovic's 1992 album Off the Deep End as a hidden track, designed to scare listeners who forgot to turn the CD off or eject it and thus were unaware that the song was coming after 10 minutes of silence. It is a parody of the Nirvana song "Endless, Nameless", which itself appeared as a hidden track on their landmark album Nevermind (with its album cover and hit single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" parodied as "Smells Like Nirvana" on the aforementioned Weird Al album) and similarly featured scary-sounding music.

Availability: Seen on The Weird Al Show, which was (meddled by CBS executives to be) meant for children. It made a surprise reappearance on "Weird Al" Yankovic Live!: The Alpocalypse Tour.
