Synopsis
A pizza delivery worker moves through a repetitive shift, driving from one address to the next while the ordinary details of her route become increasingly absurd. Her routine is intercut with Weezer performing and fooling around in a series of tightly framed shots. The video turns the song's restless energy into a portrait of dead-end work, balancing the band's playful behavior against the delivery girl's boredom and isolation.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video uses several simultaneous camera angles that fit together as a fractured image. The split-screen arrangement gives the performance a deliberately busy, almost mechanical rhythm.
- Mary Lynn Rajskub plays the pizza delivery girl. She later appeared in the filmmakers' feature film "Little Miss Sunshine" as Pageant Assistant Pam.
- The clip was made during the "Pinkerton" period, when Weezer's videos often moved away from the polished, straightforward performance style associated with the band's debut album.
- The song was released as a single and EP in spring 1997, following the release of "Pinkerton" in September 1996.
- Weezer bassist Scott Shriner later joked about the video's multi-angle technique on the 2004 DVD "Video Capture Device," sarcastically presenting it as an innovation that had never been repeated.
