And they actually do stuff! In most meme-collecting videos (like this one from the Barenaked Ladies), everyone just shows up; in Weezer's each web meme character is redeemed. The Diet Coke and Mentos guys get to rock out. Afroninja shows that despite that one famous screw-up, he really can kick ass. Chris Crocker is comforted. The narrative and the sheer number of web fads make this the best of its genre. Watch below.
