Weezer made a music video, and they invited the internet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Understand that it is an act of extreme generosity for me to link to a video that doesn’t allow embedding. I’ve passed over many videos I wanted to blog about because the maker didn’t allow me to embed the video here. Sending you off to YouTube with instructions to come back here and read what I have to say once you’re done is pointless delay and busywork for you, and interferes with the conversation I’m trying to start. But I’m willing to tolerate it here because I think the video is worth the extra effort. If you’re up for it, you can go and watch it<\/a>, and then come back here.<\/p>\n

They actually got together with the people behind some of the most legendary memes on YouTube. Here were the ones I recognized: (I’d embed them, but this many videos would be too dang much on one page.)<\/p>\n

Numa Numa<\/a>
\nDramatic Chipmunk<\/a>
\nAfro Ninja<\/a>
\nDiet Coke & Mentos<\/a>
\nG.I. Joe PSAs<\/a>
\n155 Shirts<\/a>
\nChris Crocker<\/a>
\nAll Your Base<\/a>
\nCaitlin Upton’s meandering nonsense<\/a>
\nEvolution of Dance<\/a>
\nChocolate Rain<\/a>
\nDaft Hands<\/a>
\nDaft Bodies<\/a>
\nKelly Likes Shoes<\/a>
\nRyan<\/a> vs. Dorkman<\/a> (My favorite.)
\nIt’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!!<\/a>
\nWill it Blend?<\/a><\/p>\n

I know I didn’t get them all. There were several people I didn’t recognize, particularly in the big meme orgy at the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
