Weezer

At a Christmas party, two passionate Weezer fans—Todd (Matt Damon) and another guest (Leslie Jones)—get into an increasingly heated and absurd argument about which Weezer albums are the best. What starts as a simple disagreement about the band's catalog quickly escalates from passionate debate to threats of violence. The two fans argue about everything from Pinkerton to Raditude, each claiming to understand Rivers Cuomo and Weezer better than anyone else—even better than Rivers understands himself. The sketch perfectly captures the passionate and often divisive nature of music fandom, with other party guests (including Kenan Thompson as Leslie's concerned partner) unsuccessfully trying to keep the peace at the holiday gathering. The tension is punctuated by the revelation that Todd showed up uninvited to his ex-wife's Christmas party, and his Weezer song is still on her shuffle playlist.

The sketch was written for an extremely niche audience but resonated strongly with Weezer fans. Matt Damon wore Rivers Cuomo-style glasses and plaid shirt (as did Leslie). Rivers Cuomo himself responded on social media saying he was "actually crying" (in a good way). The sketch accurately represents how no two Weezer fans have the same opinion about their discography. Subtle detail: Todd showed up uninvited to Martha's (his ex-wife's) Christmas party alone. The Weezer Africa cover plays in the background, suggesting Martha still has Todd's music on her playlist. The sketch mentions various Weezer albums including Pinkerton, Raditude, and references songs like "Buddy Holly," "Pork and Beans," and "Beverly Hills." YouTube video has over 6.2 million views and 98,823 likes as of the data collection. Yellowcard gets a mention, which commenters noted was "the first time since 2003."
