Say what you want about Weezer, they have made some awesome videos over the years. From “Buddy Holly” (the “Happy Days” video) to “Keep Fishin'” (the Muppets video) to “We Are All On Drugs” (with the word “love” happily suited for the word “drugs” although the word “drugs” seems to be mouthed), Rivers Cuomo and his boys have probably been the most consistent video artists of the past decade or so. However, for the first video from their new self-titled album (the third self-titled album of their career), they might have outdone themselves.
Snarkily winking at internet celebrity, they’ve grabbed the “Chocolate Rain” dude, Chris Crocker (the “leave Britney alone!” guy), the numbskulled beauty pageant contestant, and…well, I’ll let you guys check it out for yourselves…
