According to Dan I’m the “only person” who’s incessantly watching Weezer‘s Pork And Beans video to see how many new YouTube memes I can pick out. I haven’t come across any other posts outlining each meme that’s in the video one by one, so here you go. The definitive list. As far as I can tell, K-Fed and the Evolution Of Dance dude are the only two that were digitally added in – everyone else that ‘stars’ in the video was actually at the video shoot. Oh, and here’s an interview that Wired magazine did with director Matthew Cullen that explains a little more!
