''<blockquote>Impressed by how the bands looked in his other videos, Siega was sought out and asked to avoid referring to the lyrics in his treatment. Sumos were brought up, and immediately approved. Rock!</blockquote>'' | |||
:-[[Karl Koch]] on the "Hash Pipe" music video, from the liner notes for ''[[Video Capture Device]]'' | |||
The video for the song was directed by [[Marcos Siega]], the first of several Weezer videos that he would direct. The premise of the video shows Weezer playing while a group of sumo wrestlers engage in activity. At one point in the video, the wrestlers appear as stand-ins for the band, complete with instruments, miming to the song. In the video, guitarist [[Brian Bell]] employs a maneuver in which he bends backwards, taking the guitar with him, then thrusts his legs in the direction he's bending. This is affectionately known among Weezer fans as "[[The Impossible Bend]]". According to the mini book that accompanies ''[[Video Capture Device]]'', Siega was specifically asked to avoid referring to the lyrics of the song in the video. | The video for the song was directed by [[Marcos Siega]], the first of several Weezer videos that he would direct.
