Pork and Beans by Weezer

Recently I noticed one of the top posts on Digg was something saying that the video of Weezer's new single called "Pork and Beans" has many Youtube celebrities involved in the video all together in the same room at one point. This has never been done before, and was a big success. I think it could have been part of the huge success of the recent South Park episode that involved several Youtube stars.

The cast contains many familiar faces, that you will recognize not only from the internet but other parts of the internet (many of these memes were popular far before the invention of Youtube). Here is my list of the internet phenomena that I recognize from this video, including Wikipedia article links where applicable.

There was but on that I failed to recognized but found it out through Wikipedia and this was;
- Dorkman vs Scott (Wikipedia).

Here is the video in it's original form, in all its glory. I love the video and song is really catchy as well. I hope you enjoy it.


Here is a clip from the aforementioned South Park episode that featured Youtube celebrities;
