'''The Impossible Bend''' is the [[Sassy|sassy]] and rocking move of [[Brian Bell]]. | '''The Impossible Bend''' is the [[Sassy|sassy]] and rocking move of [[Brian Bell]]. It's first and only performance was during the "[[Hash Pipe]]" music video. It is performed at 2:42. It is unknown if Brian is still sassy enough to pull off the move, and it is of much heated debate on Weezer forums. Many fans point to Brian Bell's facial hair and claim he "can still pull it off, he just doesn't want to." Others say that Brian has only gotten sassier and that he could pull it off if he wanted to, he's just being modest. A small few believe Brian is too old to pull of the bend anymore. An even smaller group of fans believe that it was special effects or CGI, citing "No one could ever pull that off, no matter how sassy they may be." | ||
