This has racked up a few million hits since being posted on Friday, so maybe you’ve already seen it. But if you haven’t, and if you’ve spent any time at all over the last few years looking at the various famous YouTube videos, you should take a look.

It’s the video for Weezer’s new single “Pork and Beans” (album hits stores next week), and it features cameos by an impressive number of YouTube celebrities: the “leave Britney alone” guy, the fat kid who lip-syncs the Romanian pop tune, the “Chocolate Rain” guy, Miss Teen South Carolina (”Some U.S. Americans don’t have maps”), and on and on. (There are several I’m not familiar with.) They’re the real folks, not impersonators, and they really interact with Weezer and with each other specially for this video. It’s cute, and it’s a terrific song about individuality from the always-terrific Weezer to boot.

If you’re a “Lost” fan, this video might be particularly amusing to you. It’s simply a montage of characters saying “What?,” presumably comprising every instance in seasons 1-3. (Don’t worry, there are no spoilers.)

Note that while some of the What?s are the innocuous kind — “I didn’t hear you, so please repeat yourself”; “What’s wrong?”; etc. — most are the kind that means “What the hell are you talking about?!” or “What you just said is extremely alarming or surprising.” And that’s exactly the reaction you’d expect the people on this show to have on a regular basis. It’s kind of comforting to realize they’re as confused as we are. (Via SlashFilm.)

Remember the “Star Wars” movies, and how they were very popular and featured a weapon known as a “light saber”? You had to be very agile and quick to use it properly — but it turns out a chubby Canadian kid can wield one pretty well, too, as seen in this hilarious new video.

HA!

Remember Hillary Clinton’s TV ad that tried to scare people into voting for her by suggesting that she, and not Obama, would be best prepared if the White House phone rang at 3 a.m.? The commercial used stock footage of a little girl sleeping peacefully in bed — but it turns out the little girl, now a teenager, is an Obama supporter, and in fact was actively campaigning for him before Hillary’s commercial appeared.

HA!

WSAZ in West Virginia has this amusing news story about a woman who bought a package of crazy straws at Wal-Mart for her 3-year-old daughter, only to find that two of the straws’ crazy shapes strongly resemble a penis.

No question, the straws’ shapes do look rather phallic. Was it intentional? Hard to say. I have no idea what the design and manufacturing process for novelty straws is like. Are the shapes random? Was this particular one intended to look like something else?

The woman who bought the straws was shocked and appalled, devastated that her 3-year-old daughter would be exposed to such a vulgar item, even though of course a 3-year-old has no idea there’s anything unusual about the straw.

What made me laugh, though, was the fact that in her conversation with the reporter, the woman can’t even bring herself to say the word “penis.” I think that speaks volumes about her puritanical attitude toward sex and anatomy, when she thinks the medical, biological word for the male member is taboo.

OK, not every joke in this commercial works — the finger thing really only means something in one context, not in the other — but it’s still pretty funny.

There is no “Snide Remarks” today, nor will there be one next Monday or the Monday after that, because I’ll be covering the Sundance Film Festival.

However! Please do not despair. I will do my best to entertain you in other ways. I’ll be doing my usual daily reports from Sundance, with the first one appearing Saturday. Also, I’m going to post some other amusing reading material for you here shortly.

In the meantime, why not watch a video of two old French-speaking men fighting on a TV news broadcast?

Remember, people: If you don’t vote for Rudy Giuliani, EVERYONE WILL DIE!

What’s funny is that at first I thought this was a parody of over-the-top fear-mongering political ads. But nope! It really is such an ad. Stay classy, Rudy!

Here’s a video that some friends of mine made last year. It’s a familiar song given a new Christmas setting, and darned if it isn’t just about the cheeriest, merriest little video you ever did see. I don’t even know what it all means! But it sure is nice.

The people whose house is visited at the end are my old friends the Clarks (stars of “Stalking Santa”), including their children Miles and Owen, the latter of whom you may recall once had bees in his head.

Of all the wedding receptions I’ve been to, I can count the ones that weren’t awful, dull experiences on the fingers of one hand. In fact, I can count them on the fingers of one finger. But if more people would do something like the Brubakers did in this video, wedding receptions might be enjoyable. Watch and learn, people.

(Note: You may wonder at first why you are watching this, but stick with it. Trust me.)
