We talked earlier about how South Park did an episode on YouTube. This time Weezer asked these ’stars’ to perform in their new video!
Wikipedia: On May 23, 2008, the video premiered on YouTube. It features many YouTube stars and memes, including Gary Brolsma, Mark Allen Hicks (“Afro Ninja”), Chris Crocker, Caitlin Upton, Judson Laipply, Tay Zonday, Kevin Federline (archival footage), Liam Kyle Sullivan, and Ryan Weiber and Michael “Dorkman” Scott, as well as references to Canon Rock, the dramatic prairie dog (commonly mistaken for as a chipmunk), Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz’s Diet Coke and Mentos eruptions, parody G.I. Joe PSAs, the Dancing Banana, Will It Blend?, All Your Base Are Belong to Us, Daft Hands, Daft Bodies, the Soulja Boy dance, a CGI Donald Duck, Charlie the Unicorn, and the Star Wars kid.
great song, fantastic video! (and a great album after a few years of mindless divel from these guys!)
