Pork and Beans Video = Internet nerd wet dream

Weezer’s pork and beans music video is a computer nerds biggest meta-inside joke. I’ve liked weezer for a while now, and this video only adds to the appeal. They are like Ok Go, where they actually put some effort into the concepts for their videos.

The video concept is a bunch of famous internet video stars adapting their hilarious videos to the weezer song. That probably doesn’t make sense, so just watch it:

If you are a huge nerd like me, you probably get most of those references. For those of you who don’t and have some free time, or are a really big weezer fan, check out the list of references.

A short list of the big ones:

  • the numa numa guy
  • dramatic chipmunk
  • mentos/diet coke experiment
  • “leave britney alone” guy
  • Ms. South Carolina

And the list goes on.
