Web celebs show up in Weezer's "Pork and Beans" video

Saturday May 24, 2008
There's a great new video from alternative rock band Weezer; the song is titled "Pork and Beans". In this video, at least ten Web celebs show up and do their thing; these are people who are well known online, but not necessarily anywhere else, and usually for something kind of odd: playing with a lightsaber, lipsyncing, and a whole lot more.

Maybe you think you saw something or someone you recognized, but you're not exactly sure who? Well, I've got some resources for you. First, you'll want to read Top Twenty Web Celebs; people who didn't necessarily set out to be well-known, but ended up famous anyway due to the viral power of the Web.

Then, you'll want to check out The Top Twenty Viral Videos; the videos that were passed around and watched more than any other video on the Web in 2007 (and most of them are still going strong in 2008). At least ten of the Web celebs featured in these two articles are in the Weezer video - can you spot 'em?
