Weezer's "Pork and Beans" video aims to be the most annoying video ever
Remember when I said that the new Weezer song "Pork and Beans" was so mediocre that the video had better be genius to make up for the song's weaknesses? Well, the video isn't and it doesn't, but not for lack of trying. (And that includes Rivers Cuomo's porn 'stache).
The video is an amalgamation of nearly every viral video that has hit the Internet in the last year. Watch it and see which ones you recognize – I'll provide a partial list of the original videos after the jump:
Dramatic Chipmunk
Tay Zonday - "Chocolate Rain"
Miss Teen South Carolina
Chris Crocker - "Leave Britney Alone" (LANGUAGE)
Liam Kyle Sullivan - "Shoes" (LANGUAGE)
Will it Blend?
Afro Ninja
Diet Coke and Mentos
Matt McAllister, Guiness World Record T-Shirt Wearer
Sorry, Weezer, you set your own bar too high. Any video that doesn't have at least one Muppet in it isn't worth watching, says I.
Comments:
Awe, you didn't like the video, Heather?
Sure, it's no "Keep Fishin'" (The Muppets do take the cake), but it's a great recreation of all the viral videos that seem to embody and define this blog generation.
But then again, that's what this song is all about: not caring what people and critics say.
"Imma do the things that I wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I eat my candy with the pork and beans
One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think"
I found it entertaining.

I feel the same way, yet everyone is raving about it. I can't stand it.

Kyle, I think it's kind of a clever idea, but in reality these viral videos are pretty damn annoying. Seeing them altogether only reminds me how much I hate Chris Crocker and that Miss South Carolina moron.
(Will it Blend and Dramatic Chipmunk are still genius, though.)

Wait, Weezer is still around?
I didn't really dig the video, but I think it's obivious I'm not a Weezer fan.
