As Hypebot reported on Tuesday, Weezer invaded YouTube in full-force. Teaming up with just about every web icon you can think of, doing everything from auto-tuning the news to singing it up with Mr. Chocolate Rain himself, the band made appearances to promote their new album—not that Hurley International wasn’t already doing plenty of that for them.
