27. May 2008List of memes referenced in Pork and Beans by Weezer
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!)

So, Mats got a forward-this-meme thing from Christer that I’ll have to follow up on! It reads as follows:
So I had a look around; the first thing I spotted at my proximity was the Pys60 Library Reference, but it’s less than 123 pages as I’ve printed it myself on A4. That doesn’t really qualify for a book anyways, so I had to turn elsewhere. And the one other book at my desk is The Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams. This is, of course, one of my holy books, so I always keep it close.Well now, I turned up to page 123 and what did I find? Zaphod has just landed the ship on Magrathea and the crew is about to witness the aftermath of the unfortunate fate of a sperm whale, when I quote the 5th sentence:
With horror they suddenly realized that it was fresh whalemeat.
We all know the tragic fate of that whale; it was spawned at a perimeter not very common for whales, most notably because it’s far up in the air.Well now, nice anecdote right there, I guess today’s lesson is that bad luck can take down even the most kick-ass whale. That’s not very soothing taken into account that I have to deliver my mobile application project in just a few hours.. aaaah screw bad luck.

Quotes on programming
The other day I was actually looking for a good source of quotes on programming and computers in general.
Then, today, this great DevTopics article got published:
So, I picked up this nice comparison from reddit:
If you bought $1000 of stock a year ago, you would now have:
$91.28 if you bought Washington Mutual
$37.50 if you bought Neomagic
$21.29 if you bought Freddie Mac
$20.79 if you bought Fannie Mae
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the recycling REFUND… You would have $… 214.00 in cash.
So the best investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
It’s called the 401-Keg Plan
