Video: Re: Pork and Beens

Because Weezer didn't include enough YouTube memes in their first video for "Pork and Beans" they decided to "remix" it and throw in about a million more. Too much. WAY too much. I don't get a lot of these, and I don't really want to. I think the YouTube viral video era is coming to a crashing close, starting with this video.

Here's a slightly remixed version of Weezer's "Hey, YouTube rules" video for "Pork & Beans" that ups the YouTube-iness by having the clip be a YouTube inside of another YouTube. The usual Internet stars like Chris Crocker, Daft Punk dancers, the Numa Numa guy, Rick Astley, and Chad Vader make an appearance. Oh Weezer, does anyone do YouTube-referencing videos better than you? (No.) [ Pitchfork ]

I am told that this is official, a slightly "remixed" alternate version of the iconic video for " Pork & Beans " that Weezer posted all sly-like under a different account (they also tweaked the title). It's a YouTube inside of a YouTube, which I guess doubles the meta factor right off the bat. Just watched it side-by-side with the original, and I see some new characters added, a couple of what might be bloopers, and some scenes that have new images layered on top of the old ones.
