The phrase "Who's Bad?" is famously associated with Michael Jackson's hit song "Bad," released in 1987. The song was part of his seventh studio album of the same name, which was a follow-up to the massive success of "Thriller." The album "Bad" showcased a more aggressive and edgy style, both in music and in Jackson's persona. The music video for "Bad," directed by Martin Scorsese, is iconic for its choreography and urban setting, further cementing Michael Jackson's status as a pop culture legend of the 1980s. If this version you're referring to brings a smile, it's a testament to the lasting impact of Jackson's work.

I'm pretty sure that it was made as a parody.

Indeed, the video in question is likely a parody. The 1980s saw a rise in parody and comedic reinterpretations of popular songs, with "Weird Al" Yankovic being the most famous figure in this genre. He became well-known for his humorous takes on hit songs, often creating music videos that mirrored the originals with a comedic twist. While "Weird Al" didn't create a parody of "Bad," he did famously parody Michael Jackson's "Beat It" with his song "Eat It." Parodies like these celebrate the original works while adding a humorous spin, often becoming beloved in their own right.
