Weezer turned down a video treatment for the lead single, " El Scorcho", proposed by Spike Jonze, who had helped raise Weezer's status with his videos for " Undone – The Sweater Song" and " Buddy Holly". Cuomo said: "I really want the songs to come across untainted this time around… I really want to communicate my feelings directly and because I was so careful in writing that way. I'd hate for the video to kinda misrepresent the song, or exaggerate certain aspects." [20] The "El Scorcho" video featured the band playing in an assembly hall in Los Angeles, surrounded by light fixtures flashing in time to the music. [23] The director, Mark Romanek, quit after arguments with Cuomo, leaving Cuomo to edit the video himself. [44] The video debuted on MTV's 120 Minutes and received moderate airplay.

In 2010, Weezer embarked on the Memories Tour, playing Blue and Pinkerton in their entirety. [98] Cuomo said of the tour: "The last time we played all of those [ Pinkerton] songs, they went over like a lead balloon. And I just remember that feeling of just total rejection. And then to see 5,500 people singing along to every last word through every song on the album, even the really difficult ones, was incredibly validating for me."
