May 23 2008Awesomeness!: Weezer's New Music Video Features A Bunch Of Youtube All-Stars!

First... I'd never been first before today... what a feeling. Now I can truly enjoy whatever parts of this 3 day weekend don't end up being a haze of booze and crying. Weezer rules!

Best.....video.....ever

that kicked. banana dude rules ;]

That's what awesomeness truly is all about.

WOW!

As if I didn't love this band enough...lightsaber drum sticks?!?

Also, the hug between Rivers and Chris is the best scene.

Would have been perfect with NO Chris Crocker and Shoes guy. I hate those guys!

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO

I liked it, but I liked it more when South Park did it and Chris Crocker died.

God I love moustaches but I don't like RIvers with one.

This video might be the most generationally polarizing piece of film ever produced.

Afroninja kicking ass was awesome. That wasn't the real dude tho, was it?

Best Music vid I've Seen in a Long ass time. For Realz. I wanna see a whole music video dedicated to the art of singing with Sharpy written worlds on the ligaments of ones body. Could make for an interesting video. Even the deaf could share in. It could replace sign language. Could be called "Body Language" even though I think someone invented that already. But we could buy out the rights. Either way the trick it to figure out how to make a profit in the industry, maybe a fashion show with words written on the body's of the models. We might have to dig up Derick Zoolander it pull it off but. I know we could make it work for the good of man kind. Matt Damon might be a good choice as well, he could be the "face" of the campaign. He would have to audition for us though, I need to see him sing Scotty Doesn't Know in real life. Another problem would stem from the ink it self. We would have to find a way to remove it with out removing layers of skin. That way the models could be used more frequently. Either way a few good words a Sharpy and some time. We might have a new Fenom in the near future. Could have them dance in music videos too. That way people can read, which would also help with education, and still see their favorite band or artist sing. Not to mention a new form of dance would become popular. Profit could come from dance schools as well. This could also be used as a form of advertisement in the next presidential campaign. Not only would it entertain but the speech's of the candidates would be delivered in a clear concise manner. It would also eliminate the need to Sub Titles on TV. No more Black Boxes with white text that is way to far behind the actual audio of the person talking. We're talking real time here people. A few models with so many words on each. Hands, fingers, arms, legs, and backs could all contain words to the subject matter and as the person dances each time they finish a move the next word is revealed to the readers.

"Youtube All-stars" is an oxymoron.

Wow the theme song for the ADD generation

Weezer always & always will rock.

eh, good idea, poor execution. also bad song

I sort of love this. It feels like the whole internet united underneath this song, which is kinda cute, honest.

Though on second thought, I hate to say... I'm sure they *do* care if they're posting on youtube. Doesn't make it any less cute, though.

@ #9
I'm not a fan of Rivers with a moustache either, but when I read that the reason he grew it was an homage to his father who always had a moustache in all of the pictures of Rivers as a kid, and now he wants to have HIS kid have her dad have a moustache in all the pictures.....I thought that was awesome.

the ultimate lesson in Internet Famous

This is sad. Weezer is trying to recapture a shred of the relevance they had in 1994 by exploiting the relevance of youtube, and the video isn't even that good.

This reminds me of "Internet People", posted some time last year on youtube.

"An animated tribute to the internet people of the world, wherever you may be."

Great video, and it deserves a better song.

Vulgar copy

This is just one more reason why these guys rock..., and roll.

anyone know the names off all the characters on the video?
i could only recognize about half of them....
i think they forgot to include ASKANINJA, MR. SAFETY and his cat SPARTA and my response to TWO GIRLS ONE FINGER...

Anyone else get lost by what #11 was saying?

I think the IDEA is completely awesome. Not because it has great filmography or anything, it's just creative and unifying. I'm not a weezer fan, that is to say, I don't listen to them much, but I do enjoy a hit or two now and then. I think the video was cool. Could they have done better? Probably...could YOU have done better? I don't know, probably, but in any case, the fact that they got the actual people who made the original videos on youtube together to make the video is what's impressive.

Well done.

I just find it rather contradictory they chose to take the route of involving a bunch social memes and in jokes in a song about fighting confomity. Wheres the sense in that?! Unless its tounge-in-cheek hypocrisy, but I don't think Weezer's quite intelligent enough to think on that many levels somehow.
