Reminds me of one of SNL's best skits.

Edit: and if you are a weezer fan ready for an emotional journey I can't recommend this video enough.

I'm not a fan of Weezer, like, at all. But the one about being in love with a lesbian was mildly amusing? I don't remember why.

I've loved that song since I was a teenager. Just something about the feeling of yearning followed by realizing she's not gonna be into you so you've gotta process those feelings.

Pink Triangle

I think it's funny he later found out she wasn't even a lesbian

Pink Triangle on her sleeve.

A pink triangle is a symbol for the LGBT community. Initially intended as a badge of shame, it was later reappropriated as a positive symbol of self-identity. It originated in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s as one of the Nazi concentration camp badges, distinguishing those imprisoned because they had been identified by authorities as gay men.[1][2] In the 1970s, it was revived as a symbol of protest against homophobia, and has since been adopted by the larger LGBT community as a popular symbol of LGBT pride and the LGBT movements and queer liberation movements.[3][4]
