The new Weezer video"Pork & Beans" lives up to its billing as the the "ultimate mash-up viral." Director Mathew Cullen not only spoofs a bunch of famous YouTube clips — the soda/mentos experiment, weird Japanese game shows, the Soulja Boy dance, etc, etc — but actually gets a bunch of YouTube celebrities to take part in the video shoot. Tay "Chocolate Rain" Zonday, Chris "Save Britney" Cooper, Miss Teen USA contestant Lauren Caitlin "Oh my God, even Mario Lopez is laughing at your answer" Upton and even that Evolution Of Dance character. All of em are here, hamming it up with Weezer in a non-stop cavalcade of kinda sorta stars. A simple, yet genius idea that works because of the always genius execution of Cullen and the entire Motion Theory creative team. Catch it as it debuts at — where else — YouTube, alongide some other related Weezer viral silliness. Now, if only we had been Rick Rolled at the end... --> watch "Pork & Beans"
