I can't explain it, but while watching this I caught myself with an enormous grin as I felt an honest to goodness *happyness inside. Strange, but very nice.

I love this video. Probably the best one evar.

Questionables..

The girl with the rainbow colored leggings. I know of one or two high resolution pictures (one of them has been turned into a inspirational poster) of a model wearing them, but recall no such video or animated gif of this girl.
http://208.116.9.205/10/graphics/pics/pictures_skittles.jpg

In the massive collage at the end, theres a pair of 3 animated CG models. They don't look like anything I recognize, but the distorted form and copied animation dance reminds me of the dancing baby, or the Japanese music player that allowed user loadable models that then made them dance to music (if any of you have seen the dancing spider man, that was from this program).
http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/gay_spiderman.gif
http://www.monsterdesign.co.kr/image/spiderman_dancing.gif

There is also what appears to be a floating metal star with a circular grill that rings no bells in the same collage.

And the 3 dancing idiots. I spent most of the time trying to find these guys with no luck. They use the same stage as the numa guy though, so maybe its not a meme?

Bonus: Check out the will it blend link.

^wow you did your homework there jmd!

I think this is one of those videos we'll see far down the road when looking back on what the 2000's were like. We'll be like wow.. times were so good then.. and we didnt even know it. then go back to working for our canadian overlords in concentration camps

Great job, jmd.
Those 3 CG models - you can see the middle one is Donald Duck, although my first guess was that it should have been Crazy Frog.
As for those 3 dancing dudes, I'm quite sure they're doing that complete and utter shyte that some have actually labeled as music - Soulja Boy's Crank That.

There's also The Sneezing Panda in the background of the same scene.

And Rubik's cubes.

Oh, and you missed two biggies - epic amateur-made lightsabers and Judson Laipply's Evolution of Dance. And there's also some pretty-colored ponies in the wallpaper, although I'm unfamiliar with those, so that's questionable, I guess.

Heh, I really got into this "research" - I freeze-framed the T-shirt sequences, because I noticed some shirts had pics/slogans on them. There's one that says "Download the free mp3s" - clearly, an homage to spam, so could be considered as a meme. There's some that have bears on them, but I'm unsure what to make of those. There's also one that says "Dancefloor star" in Russian (which is weird, because the most popular hit is an MTV Russia programme along the likes of "So you think you can dance"). And in the second sequence there's one with MTh (???) and that's it.

So I guess for now, that brings the total count to what..? 29?

Charlie (candy mountain) and Evolution of dance are both in my list.

EDD,I saw the cubes but since nothing was actually being done with them, its hard to attribute it to any meme. In my mind, the most coolest thing ive seen done with rubiks cubes in the past years, are the amature made cube solvers made with webcams and basic robotics. As for the light sabers, the 2 nerd duelist are ryan vs dorkman. They made 2 videos consisting of light saber duals, reproducing some high level special effects like terrain impacts and sparks. Its possible to attribute the light saber effect on lot of other things in the videos due to the gauntlet of HOW TO videos on making your own light saber effects in movies.

Eric, nice catch. Never seen the video till now, but the mouse placement and the overexposure glow from the window as well as overall color is dead on.

uhohzombies, nice catch, although I didn't notice nearly as many memes in there. Its possible they are from different circles. Weezers is pretty much a years worth of 4chans /flash board condensed into a video. And of course both BNL and weezers song itself sucks.. so yea.. their trying tp ride hype trains that are not their own.

While this is an absolute rip-off of the Barenaked Ladies concept, it's not a very original idea anyways. I mean, a band that hasn't done anything good in years, in order to get back on the map, what do they do? Why not mock videos that pretty much everyone in the world have seen?

And I agree with Imago... "Nerd Rock" to Hipster Rock, complete with the ironic facial hair. This whole thing just screams "We want to be cool again".

We have a meme channel, but does that preclude this from also being channelized as a *parody of *viral videos? Of course not, I say.

This is a really fun music video and a really, really good song. If the rest of the album can match this level, this will be the first truly good release Weezer's had since Pinkerton for sure.

Upon a bit more research, theres a Dancing Donald Duck and two alien lookin things at 2:37 which may be something to do with

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nz2ADowyy1I&feature=related

Edit: There's also some hovering thing in the collage at the end that I cant figure out..you can see it the last time you see the South Carolina chick, behind her to the left


Now, we can prettymuch just close youtube, and just link the website to this movie.

Not even Island in the sun? Actually, I didn't like the song all that much until I saw the video. Pork and Beans would probably have been the same way, except that this is my first time hearing the song

I wouldn't call this a rip off of the barenaked ladies. Lots of people have independently come up with the idea of internet meme medley type things (include south park). And regardless, this one is much better produced. The barenaked lady one focuses on video bloggers who frankly I've never heard of.

Not sure, but that intro might have something to do with the gnarles barkley cover with that weird russian instrument that was running rampant on the sift... too lazy to look it up right now. Being in a slump, this video really brightened things up for me. +1 for Weezer, "Say it ain't so" still being my #1 choice for karaoke nights.

Just realized Kevin Federleezy (aka KFed) appears right at the moment when Timbaland is mentioned in the lyrics because he then proceeds to mimic Timbaland in OneRepublic's video for Apologize (which Timbaland helped to reach the top of the charts with a remix and adding a couple of yells).
