Haven’t had time to see the new Pork and Beans music video by Weezer?
It’s probably the most awesome music video ever, having an endless list of references to a bunch of the youtube/internet memes seen the last years.
Take a look below:
Well now, I just couldn’t help but create a list of the clips I spotted. As the gentleman I am, I decided to collect and share links to the videos as well so you can check it out yourself.
However, the list is by far complete. Need some help to put the last pieces together.
Please leave a comment if you’re able to find errors or have additions to make.

Need lots of help here! It’s a mixed sequence with lots of references (even to Will it blend!).
Edits:
Sneezing panda in the corner around 02:36 – 02:38
Charlie The Unicorn seen as a wallpaper in the background around 02:40 and later on
(Thanks for those mats!)
Peanut butter jelly time has several references, most notably around 02:43
Ryan vs Dorkman can be seen referenced several times, most notably around 02:46
The UFO on Haiti hoax UFO flies by around 02:37 and later on behind Miss South Carolina when
she’s referencing Will it blend at 02:54 (trying to blend maps, probably because she’s not very good at geography (thanks Kitsune Sniper!)).
All those Rubik’s Cube videos are referenced at 02:51. One of the most famous ones are 3 Year Old Solves Rubik’s Cube in 114 seconds.
When the camera is panning around 02:37-02:38 you can see a duck that resembles Donald. This is probably a reference to the banner ads talking about lowering mortgage rates, but I do not have a link yet, sorry. (Thanks a million Bizzell!)

01:51 – 01:55 Still Daft Hands reference but what about the boxes and such?
there is another video with another song by daft punk (better stronger faster or whatever the hell its called) which has two girls with boxes on their heads.
02:28 – 02:34 Need help with this one. Red shoes and a guy dressed as a girl. Freaky.

May 27th, 2008 at 20:39:52
1:39-1:43 is K-Fed in a studio, footage from MTV news… not sure why they used it though.
May 27th, 2008 at 20:41:23

“02:36 – 03:05

In the first few seconds where you see Donald and the two other guys dancing, that’s a reference to the banner ads talking about lowering mortgage rates.
May 29th, 2008 at 07:23:49
Never notices the maps being blended..
Maybe it’s a google maps mashup :——-)
May 29th, 2008 at 16:14:11
Correction: Donald Duck is featured in a YouTube video called “The duck Donald.”
Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz2ADowyy1I
I’m pretty sure the other ones are from those banner ads, though.
Glad to be of service to you.
May 30th, 2008 at 07:27:40
Hm, could it be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZNTgglPbUA that’s on the whiteboard in the big meme shot? If you pause the video, there’s a drawn box etc, but the quality of the video makes it hard to distinguish further..
June 4th, 2008 at 22:58:08
The South Carolina girl video mentions that teens can’t point out the US in a map… which is probably why she’s destroying the maps in the blender.
June 8th, 2008 at 14:39:30
Thank you so much for putting this together! I’ve been looking all over for a breakdown of this video. I thought I got most of the references but it was less than half! Much appreciated.
June 20th, 2008 at 09:34:35
at 1.42 was that mystery from the t.v. show the pickup artist
July 20th, 2008 at 04:13:18
[...] If you are a huge nerd like me, you probably get most of those references. For those of you who don’t and have some free time, or are a really big weezer fan, check out the list of references. [...]

There’s an early reference of Charlie the unicorn: 00:37 – 00:40 as a tattoo on the GI Joe chest.
Also, the T-shirts worn in 00:46 – 00:50 and 01:56 – 01:58 contains many references to the videos shown on the Pork and Beans video, some of them as bear figures (Afro ninja, Afro ninja, Diet Pepsi and Mentos Experiment).
August 5th, 2008 at 13:31:41
Sorry, not as bear figures but as gophers.
August 9th, 2008 at 08:13:18
the girls with boxes = Daft Bodies (harder, better, faster, stronger)
October 6th, 2008 at 21:22:47
Hi, i guess the “Donald” duck has some resemblance with the dancing baby from Ally McBeal, in fact, one of the first Internet memes in the 1998 or 1999…

I tried to watch the video, but it’s telling me it’s private. Is there anyway for me to circumvent it so I can watch it and perhaps find an obscure reference
June 20th, 2011 at 09:56:15
I remember when this came out. I could name every single meme in the song instantly… dunno if I should be proud of that…
