One of my favorite music videos on tube is Weezer's Pork and Beans. It is full of references in the world of youtube. All of these videos have been seen at least over a million times. Here is a list for you enjoy:

It starts immediately with One Man Band.

Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday

Numa Numa - fun watching this frumpy guy get completely into it.

Dramatic Prairie dog. There is the 5 sec version most people of have seen and the original 40 some second context - both of which are in the Weezer video.

Ninja try-outs completely hysterical. The afro ninja is who is featured in the Weezer video.

I think that the star wars kid must be related to the wandabe ninjas above. Here is the original version which is also funny.

Some animation: GI Joe Gay. Too funny but it a stereotyped way. And this one based on a Sega game, All Your Base Are Belong To Us - The bad translation is what gives it entertainment value.

Then there is the hysterical (not in a funny way - then again it is so exaggerated it is funny) about a guy who rants "LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE!" After 45 seconds into this video you get the idea. It has been viewed some 7 million times.

And speaking of Brittany - Kevin Federline makes an appearance talking about Brazilian music - Popozao. I thought this was obscure and it is because it is only video in the group that has been viewed less than a million times.

If you have not seen the most fantastic blenders in the world, you are missing out on "Will it Blend?" Anything from light bulbs, to iphones, to glowsticks, to cds, ecetera.

Then there is the Guiness World Record for most T-Shirts worn at one time - 155 of them, 100 pounds set to soaring music.

The Evolution of Dance has got to be one of the most popular videos on the web. It has been viewed some 94 million times.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger: Daft Hands (seen over 20 millions times) - which inspired Daft Dancers (over 5 million).

Crank That Soldier Boy! Three white boys in oversized cargo shorts dancing

Then there is the Miss Carolina for Teen USA pageant who flubbed an answer so badly it was incredible. (seen over 27 million times). Got to give her credit for her good grace and humor.

Just one word: SHOES!
(parental warning - there are some f-bombs. Kelly is foul mouthed and has anger issues)

Then there is all those Mentos experiments.Fun!

The most annoying song of all time - at least in my opinion. It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!!

Charlie, the cynical unicorn makes an appearance. Shun the unbeliever of Candy Mountain.

Then there is Kicesie - Question and Answer regarding what is the best sex ever.

I think that the flying spaceship refers to this video of purported UFO seen in Haiti.

If you look carefully there is the mother panda and her cub featured in this video.

I think that the pile of rubik's cubes refers to this solution video by Dan Brown.

The laser saber fight going on behind the band is Ryan vs. Dorkman - a beautifully done fight.

Lastly the trio of computer animation of dancing Donald Duck, gorilla, and what I believe to be an alien. This was the only one that I could not find.

I am sure that I missed some. There are so many references and so little time.

Thanks for your comments on my "jury duty" post! I thought I needed to tell the story. So many (including me) take for granted the way our system operates. I left with an unexplanable feeling. Thanks for your service.
