Weezer's latest featuring 'the internet'
Mikey 12 comments
I've always liked Weezer and I've always said they do some of the more interesting video clips. Their latest video 'Pork and beans' is no exception once again proving themselves in tune with popular culture.
See how many Internet memes and stars you can spot below.

This is how I know that South Park is the most brilliant social commentary on TV. I purposefully avoid YouTube so I will not know who any of these people are and yet because I watch South Park I do know who these people are.
Cool video.

Saturday 24th May 2008 | 03:47 PMThere's also a gaming reference in there, a call back to an old game called Wing Commander which, long story short, was translated badly and hence gave birth to the "All you base are belong to us" phenomenon.
Great song, I like Weezer more now!
