The promo of rock group Weezer’s new single 'Pork and Beans' features more than two-dozen internet video stars including Chris Crocker and the Mentos and diet coke mixing scientits Fritz Grobe and Steven Volts. Inspiration for the video also taken from Evolution of Dance - the world's most viewed video.

Man babies
manbabies.com
This web phenomenon began when US teen Kris Truitt ripped a whole load of father-and-baby pics off photo-sharing website Flickr and switched the heads of the dads and sons, creating a weird parallel universe of babies with massive man-heads and men with tiny little baby-heads.

Wants for sale

Christine and Justin, a couple from NYC, are artists with a love for consumer goodies. Unable to afford everything they wanted, they decided to paint it all instead - then sell the paintings of each thing for the price of the item itself.

Cheese roll

An incredible three million people watched last year's video and this is catching up. Dozens of people chase fruitlessly after an 8lb Double Gloucester Cheese as it plunders down a near-vertical slope.
