OK weezer wins the internet, you can all quit trying now.
 

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





see how many references you get :)

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

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

Brian Bell's Thinline Tele is fucking sexy.

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

Awesome.

stunt doubles I think.

Nope

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.

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.

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

All the referenes in one video: (same site)

heh, the numa numa guy....that was funny

That's the main reference I picked up also!

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

Weezer's "Pork and Beans" (video)
 

They've always amused me.

and the Mentos Eruption stuff was just fantastic.

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

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

I think that Weezer deserves one internet.

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.

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!

Is This a reference to this?

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


her youtube name is kicesie.

Cute. :)

I know most of these from standing behind my daughter's shoulder saying 'what the hell are you watching?'

Internet celebs get an extra 15 minutes...
 

*though not all of them deserved it...*

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?

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

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

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

next time starshine, next time!

I just got a mental image of Shauk as Dr. Claw.

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.

They were famous before the internet. These guys got famous ON the internet.
