When I heard Weezer's video for their new single "Pork and Beans" would feature various YouTube "celebrities," I was worried. The band has gotten a little lame and gimmicky, in recent years. Would this be the nail in the coffin? NO. IT'S FUCKING AWESOME. It's like the "Buddy Holly" video, only, like, internetty. Watch it. It's AMAZING. I'm really impressed with how successfully they managed to merge the band with the memes, and it's actually a fun, enjoyable video. Kudos, Weezer. Perhaps Failsville is a little further off than I thought. Make sure you watch the whole thing, as it doesn't really become worthwhile until the first chorus, much like the song itself. Also, if you're upset about the inclusion of Chris Crocker, stick with it. There's a nice payoff.

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
I miss the old days.
Yes! It Blends!
Yeah, Rivers has kind of lost his ability to write awesome lyrics, but I can forgive the little guy.
I don't know. Their last few videos have been pretty shitty. I'm glad they seem to've reacquired their charm and wit, if only in video form. The band used to be quite hilarious and amazing, on video.
I almost didn't recognize Rivers with that tache.
I <3 Weezer
Apart from that i pretty much agree with Rockvillain.
South Park did this better.
also, good video.
What's the deal with the old ugly chick at the bottom of your profile?
Still tolerable I guess though, video is put together pretty nice. I haven't seen any music vidja's in years though.
Not really. During the Green Album era, Rivers stuck to making shallow pop songs, simply because they would be popular and "mainstream." However, he slowly started moving away from that, then around 2003 or so, he got into some Eastern meditation hoodoo, and now he's back to writing more personal lyrics. Unfortunately, his inner vocabulary is currently at the Jr. High level.
Also, Rivers' mustache is amazing. Don't lie.
@bbrigg1
GET OUT. You do not insult Tanya Byron in my house.
But it's an ironic mustache! It's funny! Ha!
Actually, I don't think it's meant to be ironic. I think it's the result of a combination of his rock'n'roll training and his hippy training.
I was actually listening to Just a Day as I was re-reading this thread! I think I might have entered that contest for the video back in the day but I didn't make the cut..... probably something to do with the fact that I was naked and chasing a chicken....probably.
@Sharpless:
I thought Rivers was dumbing down Weezers music a bit because he didn't like the way the record label was telling him what and how to write songs or maybe that was just how the name "Pork and Beans" came about.
Either way I'm glad Weezer are back after the disappointing Make Believe and the indefinite hiatus (I know they always go on hiatus but still...) and for a Harvard student why's Rivers vocabulary lacking so much?
Well, keep talking to me and eventually you'll have a PHD in Weezology. :) I've been a fan since 2000. Definitely the most influential band for me.
@Anus Mcphanus
Well, I know he wrote the song about the record label's meddling. I don't think he dumbed the lyrics down for it though, since all the songs on Make Believe and (as far as I can tell) the Red Album are of the same style. I can't imagine what happened to him. I'm sure his current whiny voice doesn't help any.
Hey! We missed you on AMMO, Friday night.
