Pork and Beans
This (along with the Hot Chip video for Ready for the Floor) gets my vote for the best music video of the yar. It is also one of the funniest. Anyone who has a good working knowledge of YouTube will recognize the celebrities from the site - the evolution of dance guy, miss South Carolina, the endless videos of the mentos in diet coke stunts, the Chocolate Rain song guy, Chris Crocker of 'LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!' fame. In fact here's a complete list of who's in this video. Gary Brolsma ("Numa Numa guy"), Matt McAllister, Mark Allen Hicks ("Afro Ninja"), Caitlin Upton, Judson Laipply, Chris Crocker, Kicesie, Tay Zonday, Kevin Federline (stock footage), Kelly, Ryan Weiber, Michael "Dorkman" Scott, Jeong-Hyun Lim, Dramatic Prairie Dog (including lookalikes of J-Pop group Mini Moni, who were in the original TV clip the Dramatic Prairie Dog originated from), Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz's Diet Coke and Mentos eruptions, parody G.I. Joe PSAs, catching Raybans with one's face, the Dancing Banana, Will It Blend?, All Your Base Are Belong to Us, Sneezing Panda, One Man Band by Connor Berge, Daft Hands, Daft Bodies, the Soulja Boy dance (listed on YouTube as "Crank That Soldier Boy"), a CGI Donald Duck and King Kong, Charlie the Unicorn, and the UFO sighting in Haiti Hoax video.
The direction is great and Matt Cullen does a wonderful job holding it together. As you'd expect this video has had alot of hits on YouTube (15million and counting). It certainly is a pop culture milestone clip and has been nominated for several awards including a grammy!. Here it is - hope you enjoy
