Weezer's last music video for the track "Pork and Beans" made a big splash with its Internet meme concept, so for their new single the guys decided to pull off an even crazier gimmick. During the shoot for the "Troublemaker" video, world records were officially set in various categories, including "Largest Game of Dodgeball," "Most People in a Custard Pie Fight," "Most People Riding on a Skateboard," "Largest Air Guitar Ensemble" and "Longest Guitar Hero World Tour Marathon." Additionally, the band's drummer, Pat Wilson, appears in the video playing what is reportedly the "World's Smallest Drum Kit," which the band is petitioning Guinness to include as well.
