Awesome / Weezer

---

• Every single music video.
  • The video for "Pork And Beans" featured a slew of YouTube stars circa-2007. Awesome at the time, still kind of dizzying today as a nostalgia trip.
• The sick guitar solo from "Tired of Sex".
• The music video for Photograph shows home made clips of what the band did during the Green Album Tour. Somewhere between clips of Rivers playing soccer and everyone playing pranks on their new bassist, the band is shown performing on stage as Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D barge onto the stage and join in.
• A short clip of a live performance started making the rounds online due to the fact that while playing "Beverly Hills", Pat Wilson caught a frisbee that was thrown by an audience member, held it in his mouth for a few moments, and put it back down without missing a beat.
• "Pork & Beans" being a basic ode to the Internet, hitting Hilarious in Hindsight as the Internet culture began to grow after the song. With an updated music video released in 2009, it is the send off to 2000's internet culture and memes, with many comments noting how many good memories the video brings back.
• Everything Will Be Alright in the End. Just read some fans' ecstatic reactions at finally having another good Weezer album. Some of the most unexpected enthusiasm came from the notoriously cynical /mu/, adding a nice layer of heartwarming to the whole thing.
• One for a teenage fan and for Weezer and their snarky sense of humor. 15-year-old Mary Clem semi-jokingly started a Twitter account, "@weezerafrica," solely to convince Weezer to cover the famous "Africa" by Toto. After months of slowly gathering traction, Weezer actually took notice of her, and proceeded to release a cover of..... "Rosanna," just for a laugh. Nice trolling, right? Not so fast; a few days later, Weezer actually did it for real. The internet's great.
  • Not only was the cover of "Africa" well-received by the media, but when Weezer performed it on Jimmy Kimmel Live, they brought out Steve Porcaro of Toto to perform the keyboard solo!
  • Quickly topped when "Weird Al" came out to do the solo on his accordion, and then effortlessly sync up with the vocal harmonies!
  • The video is a parody of their video of Undone - The Sweater Song. Weird Al is Rivers Cuomo, and appears doing the keyboard solo on his accordion.
