The video for Weezer's new single called "Pork and Beans" is just awesome. They take various Internet memes and combine them to form this awesome video. Even better is that most of the meme stars made appearances in the video singing along to the song. Thanks, Ectomo!

On Destructoid, .Tiff previews the new Alone in the Dark game. On Japanator, they're covering Fanime Con taking place in San Jose all weekend long. On Tomopop, SPOOOOOONNN! On PopRox, Hollywood loves pills. On MiamiNights, they have a couple of new party galleries up. And on Ectomo, check out the future of transportation. What were your highlights of the week?

The video is perfection, except for Chris Crocker, but that's just my personal hatred towards him from the few times I met him a few years back...

How did they fit so much win into such a small amount of time? I think I'm bleeding.

But, there is one thing I have to ask.... WHY PENIS WHY?!?!? @0:39

I dig the song, but hate the video, mostly because I hate the internet and all the fruit it bears.

That video is the ultimate tribute to youtube. It's quite hilarious and gives me hope that the next album is going to be good.

Also, Shoes OMG.

This is probably my favourite music video now. Well done, Weezer. And they are such a geek rock band. This proves it.

The video was horrible, not because it was a bad video but because it gave at least one more millisecond of exposure to Chris Crocker, who, mind you, sucks c(r)ock. Also, everything Weezer has done after "Pinkerton" sucks (okay, the Green Album was decent, I guess).

Red Album's shaping up good though.

Haha, I just realized the soda jets at the end make the Weezer logo.

Coming hot off the heals of the similar themed South Park episode takes away a bit of the edge... but it was really awesome seeing the actual people performing. Damn it to all hell though for not showing the Daft Punk girls faces, though!

Now.. if they could make some better music, I wouldn't mind watching it again.

Damn man...I'm sorry but I thought that was pretty bad. Chris Crocker annoys/creeps me the fuck out. Also, I probably would have had to see that on television for it to be better. Since all those "memes" have been run into the fucking ground to say the least, seeing it on the computer just felt like more dead horse beating lol.

On a positive not, that's probably their best song since El Scorcho.

I thought that video was shit the very first time I saw it, and I still do. This is the death of everything. Everyone's talking about the video, but almost no one mentions the music. For a band, that is DEATH. More proof the Weezer should have quit YEARS ago.

Then again, it IS a great ad for YouTube. I'm sure the YouTube execs jerk-off onto pics of Weezer several times a day now.

Did anyone notice that while the group shot is going on, Charlie the Unicorn is the back?

@Zac

Im glad someone came out and said it...the new single sounded like a return to the Weezer I love, until I listened closely to the lyrics..."don't give a hoot?" Really? Is that what this has come to?

Incidentally, I have been forever spoiled by you, as you showed me the greatest video ever with Kokiriko Bushi by Omodaka. Seriously, if anyone here would like to see a beautiful melding of the auditory and visual arts, watch this masterpiece.

yeah...the song is only ok but the video may be the last of the cool "lets make fun of the interwebs" We may have jumped the shark with that one
