Time to catch up on your internet memes!
I stole this off of Digg.com, which linked to its Youtube address, which is where I'm linking you right now. This is Weezer's latest music video, for the song "Pork and Beans."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muP9eH2p2PI
The references are fairly basic, but in the event that you are missing any, here are a handful of links related to the video:
Shoes!
Dramatic golpher
Chocolate Rain (Tay Zonday)
Evolution of dance
Numa numa!
Hands
Daft Punk Girls
Ryan vs. Dorkman (The ones in the music video were not the real Ryan and Dorkman so far as I can tell, same as the Soldjya-Boyz below)
Miss Teen South Carolina
Mentos + Coke
Leave Brittany Alone! (Chris Crocker)
Charlie the Unicorn!
GI Joe Public Service Announcements
Most T-Shirts Worn at One Time
Afro Ninja
All Your Base (Somebody Set Us Up the Bomb!)
Crank That (Soldier Boy Boys) (The guys in the music video are not the original, which is why, I presume, they cut away from them so quickly.)
The duck Donald (I think this is what they were referencing here.)
It's peanut butter jelly time!
How to solve a rubix cube!
K-Fed
Will it blend?
Edit- Found them!
Sex Advice Girl
Guy catches glasses with face
UFO Haiti
Potter Puppet Pals (One of them is in there)
I missed two or three that they snuck in there and I wasn't familiar with. If anybody could link me to the girl with the rainbow socks, the japanese gameshow girls, or more accurate 3d donald duck, post em.
Anyone on the board have any of their own favorite internet memes that come to mind which weren't references in the video? I've always been deeply fascinated by the culture we've been able to create for ourselves on the internet. The more time you've spent on the web, the more you really start to absorb out of it over time. I'm a sucker for in-jokes, and these are basically lengthy compilations of precisely those. People who have spent long periods of time on the internet are almost at a point where they can speak another language, one they had a hand in establishing, that represents their interests and values as an interconnected generation of E-individuals. Give it another ten years and it well may be a language all on its own, and it may really take full courses of schoolwork to catch up on our information superhighway.
Thoughts? Opinions? Think it's just a momentary fad that'll burn itself away once the government seizes control of our servers to stop terrorism and piracy, or do you see it continuing to evolve over time into something even more complex? I think it's wonderful to be so deeply ingrained into this bizarre culture we've established, even if it is dorky.
