Pork and Beans

[BlueHippo]

Before you guys get your panties in a bunch like when Pox made a thread linking to youtube, there are exceptions to posting links to videos. There is a difference between someone posting "hey omg lawl check out dis video of dis guy th@ u prolly havnt seen 20 bajillion times :333" and a video that actual discussion can take place over.

Ah, Weezer, back again. It appears River's has grown a mustache... sexy? Tom Selleck 2? You decide.

In Weezer's new music video, Pork and Beans, they cover all sorts of internet phenomenons, but take it to a whole new level.

It's kind of an odd feeling, the internet becoming "mainstream" if you would. Honestly, I admit I was slightly reminded of the Southpark episode, but this is a little better than the 'cardboard' characters...

..with the exception that they don't all end up dead in the end ;P

Take a gander and see how many references you can spot!

thats pretty awesome

[CryogenChaos]

That was infintely awesome. I laughed my ass off when the parodied Daft Hands.

[solardave]

All your pork and beans belong to us. :D

[Deadly-Shadow]

I thought that was fucking awsome, and I'm not even a fan of Wheezer. That's easily one of my favourite music videos!

[Sacky]

It's like a tribute to unemployed losers. Cool.

[Legionnaire-X]

Who is that chick with the rainbow socks?

[The-Donkey]

I-I think I'm in love.

[Edd360]

They should do a song with Tay Zonday.

Well I'd buy it...

Funny, I thought it was amusing. In fact, most people who have posted so far think it's funny, except for you.

But then again, we all can't have the same opinions, right?

[EyeLovePoozy]

You do know what this means Hippo?

What you have posted is the mysterious value that was missing in the mind boggling equation:

1. Make a video
2. Put it on the internet
3. ??????? <---- The missing value was to have an awesome band feature your antics in it!
4. Profit

[ZOMG]

that song and video were so bad i shit blood in my own mouth and then ran outside naked by accident and vomited vomit made out of bloody shit all over my neighbors cat

[Racoonmario]

Haha great video. The best part was when they parodied that dramatic gopher or chipmunk or whatever it is.

[Scrotaculous]

<3 Weezer.

[Manic-Man]

I'd say what i think about that video but they don't give a hoot about what i think...

Im gonna say it anyways! Probably the best music video i've seen so far this year....

[Yiffy]

Hot.

[firemario1]

That video had so many internet phenomena references and cameos, I think my mind just exploded.

I am still gonna buy the album. Good song.

[BadPun]

Hey, Charlie made it into the background. Personally, I was disappointed by the lack of SHOOP-DA-WOOP.

Yeah wtf... all of a sudden all these internet stars were actually singing along in the song. I actually had to shake my head, cause it just wasn't natural, it wasn't what I was used to see... If it would have been a lame attempt to lipsync with the original Numa Numa, leave britney alone etc. with extremley low quality, i'd buy it, but this just scares me.

Internets. *shivers*

WHAT'S A LINK DURRR HURR HURR?!?!?

Anyways, I actually kind of like the song, and the video is great. I wonder what inspired them to make it like that?

Rivers is quite the nerd ;3

[Piemix]

After what I saw at 00:12 I think I'd rather not.

Scared of the 'stache? Haha.

[Daniel-M]

lmfao, the timbaland part had me in stitches

[hhcash]

Are those the real original people, like Chris Crocker, Tay Zonday, etc?

[UnknownFear]

Damn.. thats pretty sick!! :P

[Spags]

How did they do that?
Did they get each person to recreate it for the video?
