Viral Weezer Video Just Got More Viral!

Remember that awesome Weezer video for "Pork and Beans"? You know, the one from months back with all the internet celebrities and meme references. Pretty cool, right? But were you thinking, "you know, this thing could be even more viral"... well someone else was too, and they freaking injected the sucker with Ebola! I'm not sure if this is done by a fan, or with help from the band... but there's a ton of new footage... so it's either some insane after effects work and a nerd with too much time on their hands or Weezer decided they could do better. But here I was, once proud that I was able to get about 98% of all the references in the video... well those days are long gone. If anyone out there can name every single reference in this video, then I'll personally take you to a movie, an awkward dinner, and end the evening with an uncomfortable massage!

New Weezer Video Has All Your Favorite Internet Celebrities

The idea seems so painfully obvious, I'm surprised no one beat Weezer to the punch. Get every YouTube celebrity you can wrangle and throw them into one big pot for mega-virally goodness. It would have been a bit more fresh if we hadn't just had the Southpark episode with all these guys, but SP's production turnaround is so fast I wouldn't be surprised if they got the idea from Weezer rather than the other way around. I know that may involve time travel, but I'm telling you those guys are supernatural.

As a whole the video works really well, I'd say. I was skeptical at first but by the end it was like a great big party with a bunch of old pals. Though I was quite sad not to see my main man Sammy Stephens.

[Thanks for the tip, Ethan!]
