Complete list of references in the Weezer video

This is the Weezer “Pork and Beans” music video that’s been circulating around the Web today:

It references a whole list of YouTube memes. So I went out and looked for the links of every single referenced video that I could find. Let me know if it isn’t complete:

(In order of appearance)

One Man Band
Numa Numa
Dramatic look rodent
Afro ninja
Canon in D electric (Same desk/room look)
Diet Coke and Mentos
Guy catches glasses with his face (A VERY subtle reference)
GI Joe PSA
T-shirts
Star Wars kid (Jennifer in the comments pointed out the Afroninja is twirling the staff like the Star Wars kid)
Chris Crocker/Leave Britney Alone
All your base are belong to us
Miss Teen South Carolina
Light saber duel (Okay, so they technically appear at the end, but Miss Teen SC does wield a light saber here).
Soulja boy dance
Evolution of dance
Chocolate Rain/Tay Zonday
K-Fed
Daft hands
Daft bodies
Girl in socks/Sex advice girl
Shoes
Dancing baby (This is the best link I could come up with; looks like other dancing baby vids were removed or something)
UFO in Haiti
Sneezing panda
Peanut butter jelly time
Blendtec Blender
Rubik’s cube
Charlie the Unicorn

I might’ve missed one or two links, but this is about 99% correct.

Wow, great list! There were a couple references I wasn’t 100% sure of, so having all these links to see where they came from is awesome!

I do think, though, that the second appearance of the Afro Ninja dude, where he’s twirling the staff, is a reference to the Star Wars Kid.

Good eye, Jennifer! Will update the list.

Hi, thanks for the dancing baby and the UFO in Haiti, I didn’t get those references. There is actually one you missed out, that is a subtle reference to this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YlA0a6ZXHY) the second time the Numa Numa guy appears.

Thanks for this list, my friend and I were trying to figure out the girl in socks and we never would have otherwise!

And to help with your links… I think in the end scene there is definite a reference to these two kids “Star Wars Battle”

Caitlin: I did link the Star Wars/light saber duel thing. I listed it after the Miss Teen SC part, since I think that was technically the first time the light sabers appeared. Also, I mentioned the duel thing in brackets

Ala: Hmm.. not too convinced about that yet, since the video only had like 18k views. But I’ll look into it!

Nice list!!!! Weezer… that’s perfect.
