Directed by Mathew Cullen of the video production company Motion Theory, this video brings together dozens of YouTube celebrities, intentional and otherwise, to sing along with Weezer.
It was premiered first on YouTube and was one of the most popular videos in the weeks following its release (it garnered an incredible 1.2 million views in 24 hours on its way to becoming the #1 YouTube video worldwide for its first month of release). The video won a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video at the 51st Grammy Awards, it was also nominated for Best Editing for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and for Favorite Online Sensation at the 35th People’s Choice Awards.
Many YouTube celebrities joined the band in the video, including the “Afro Ninja“, Liam Kyle “Kelly” Sullivan, Kicesie, Ryan Wieber, Michael “Dorkman” Scott, Judson Laipply, and Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz performing Diet Coke and Mentos eruptions.
On January 12, 2009, a remix version of the “Pork and Beans” video was released to YouTube, which included additional footage, and ends with the viewer being rickrolled.
I can’t describe this video. Watch it, for the lulz.
