Weezer recently released the music video for “All My Favorite Songs” from his upcoming album “OK Human,” and you don’t have to be in marketing to notice the frequent and fairly prominent Pixel 5 product placement in the video. In fact, the Pixel 5 is onscreen almost a quarter of the time in video. For most of us, the almost four-minute Pixel ad set to music will make up the majority (if not all) of the pixels we see in the wild this year.

The final tally will vary slightly depending on whether you’re counting the transformed Pixel 5’s door / portal as screen time or not – this happens twice, and we didn’t – but you’ll notice that a Pixel 5 is visible for approximately 53. seconds during the three minute and forty-four second video. It’s a pixel on the screen almost a quarter of the time.

The prime product placement segments in particular include Rivers Cuomo asking Google Assistant to record a video, nearly everyone in the group absently holding a Pixel 5 while they play, and our two youngsters chasing a older man. old to steal his fallen phone, which then turns into a curtain portal to Weezer’s recording studio, as pixels do.

The ultimate tale even seems to be that we are all glued to our phones (all Pixel 5s in this case), which is shockingly bad. If our main music video character’s anguish that everyone around him was glued to a screen doesn’t make it clear, maybe the album title “OK Human” did, or the Weezer’s confession bent over backwards to avoid using modern ‘dark tech takeover’ technologies when recording. In the end, it’s probably not the Google association really wants with its products, but I doubt Pixel’s marketing department paid much attention.

It’s a really good song, though, from what looks like a really good album. And when you’re done with the video, you’ll have hit the recommended amount of Pixel product placement. At least until the next Avengers movie.
