This is like "We are the World" meets "The Ultimate Showdown"

see how many references you get

RetroGunslinger · 05-23-2008, 09:20 PM

I'm pretty mad that I got about 98% of those references.

Martian · 05-23-2008, 10:35 PM

I get most of the references, although some went over my head.

Brian Bell's Thinline Tele is fucking sexy.

LoganSnake · 05-23-2008, 10:45 PM

How did they get all those people to contribute to the video?

Awesome.

Shauk · 05-23-2008, 11:48 PM

stunt doubles I think.

Getting close for the release date of their upcoming album "Weezer (Red Album)", Weezer has just premiered the music video for their new single from the set, titled "Pork & Beans" on May 23. The new clip, which was shot by director Mathew Cullen, is a unique one as it features lots of spoofs from popular YouTube videos.

Beside that, on the video Mathew also taps some popular celebrities of YouTube community such as Tay "Chocolate Rain" Zonday, Chris "Save Britney" Cooper, Miss Teen USA contestant Lauren Caitlin to appear on it. Another famous names that was also being featured on the clip is Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Martian · 05-24-2008, 12:00 AM

Money.

I'd imagine more than a few would do it for a relatively low amount just for the privilege of being in a Weezer video. Combine that with a bit of creative editing and you're good.

Oh, and the song is Pork and Beans, and will be on their new album coming out this summer.

EDIT - twistedmosaic beat me to it, and did research stuff instead of just guessing too.

Shauk · 05-24-2008, 12:06 AM

I find the Ms South Carolina Girl to be distractingly hot compared to the rest of the video. God help me I'm incurably single. *facepalm*

actually, thats probably not a good place for my face.

Anxst · 05-24-2008, 03:27 AM

That was actually pretty awesome. I believe I got all the references but one, and I definitely dig the tune.

That's the main reference I picked up also!

fresnelly · 05-25-2008, 04:21 PM

Wow! I heard the song on the radio a couple days ago and was unimpressed but together with the video, it's great.

MexicanOnABike · 05-26-2008, 10:13 AM

this is so fucking great! I got all of the reference i think. good song too. I like it.

speshul-k · 05-26-2008, 11:39 AM

I guess you know you're a more than average internet user if you got 90% of the characters or references in this video.

I didn't see Chad Vader or HotforWords anywhere though!

Bacchanal · 05-26-2008, 12:05 PM

I got most of the references I think. The video is completely awesome, but I'm not too crazy about the song.

blahblah454 · 05-26-2008, 07:02 PM

That video was pretty amazing. The effect that You Tube has had on the world is frightening though.

lotsofmagnets · 05-27-2008, 01:41 AM

i got less than a third of the references. should i be spending more time on the net?

JumpinJesus · 05-27-2008, 10:04 AM

I'm more than a bit relieved that i got only a few references.

UKking · 05-27-2008, 11:53 AM

Pork and Beans

They've always amused me.

and the Mentos Eruption stuff was just fantastic.

DEI37 · 05-27-2008, 03:11 PM

I got a few of 'em. Like the song, like the video. Good find here.

sadistikdreams · 05-27-2008, 07:50 PM

I personally think South Park did it better, but this is pretty awesome.

I think that Weezer deserves one internet.

Redlemon · 05-28-2008, 06:42 AM

Didn't Barenaked Ladies do essentially the same video a couple of years earlier?

edit: Yes. "Sound of your Voice". It even has many of the same performers.

Sorry Weezer, you are merely copycats.

fresnelly · 05-28-2008, 09:02 AM

Also, it shows how despite some visual panache, once the pop culture references are lost, so to is the interest. In a couple of years, this video will just be a dull collage of mugging antics.

Hmm... This doesn't bode well for Family Guy.

Great find Red!

Geo · 05-29-2008, 03:41 AM

Is This a reference to this?

MexicanOnABike · 05-29-2008, 02:28 PM

no. I think it's a ref to this:

her youtube name is kicesie.

Quote:

YouTube video blogger Kicesie offers frank sex advice in her online series, Kicesie's Sex Ed. The Weezer video reference is very short, but you can see a girl wearing rainbow socks on a couch for a few seconds. This refers to one of Kicesie's most popular posts, which has received over 10 million views.

mixedmedia · 05-29-2008, 02:58 PM

Cute.

Starshine · 06-19-2008, 05:47 AM

MexicanOnABike · 06-19-2008, 05:49 AM

REPEAT!!!!!!! search for the weezer internet video.

Out of curiosity, does anyone else think that Rivers Cuomo looks like a used car salesman in that video?

Starshine · 06-19-2008, 06:02 AM

Yes, not diggin' the mustache very much...

I'm just glad that Weezer is back to sounding more like their Blue Album.

Shauk · 06-19-2008, 10:15 AM

Weezer may win the internet, but I win the thread!

This is a truly marvelous collection of interweb memes. I was a bit disappointed, though, that they didn't include Monty Python, the FSM, or Weird Al. I guess everything fun on the internet is simply too big to fit into one video.
