Weezer is back in a big way. Their new video Pork and Beans features a ton of internet celebrities and memes. Here is a list of the cameos:

Daft Hands
Kelly Likes Shoes
Evolution of Dance
Miss South Carolina
World Record for most Tshirts guy
Star Wars Kid
Diet Coke and Mentos guys
GI Joe PSA
K-Fed Popozao
Tay Zonday
Charlie The Unicorn

Chris Crocker
Ryan vs Dorkman
Draft Bodies
Crank That Soldier Boy
Guitar Man Band

Because Weezer is a big part of American pop culture and these memes are a big part of internet pop culture, we can likely expect to see some serious mishmashing.
