JUST THROW IT ON THE GROUND. Directed by Jorma Taccone. The latest SNL Digital Short rocks.
In somewhat related news, it has been reported that Andy Samberg was contacted to host WWE’s RAW. The wrestling show will take place on October 26 in Buffalo. Although this has not been made official, Samberg has stated that a future SNL Digital Short will include “WWE superstars.” Looking forward to it.

“Andy Samberg doesn’t understand how animation works. But that doesn’t stop him from giving behind-the-scenes misinformation on “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”
Ah, Andy at his best. Looking forward to “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” in theatres September 18 and Saturday Night Live, which premieres September 26.

The dudes. Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer. You know Andy from Saturday Night Live. His two friends, Jorm and Kiv, are writers for the show. Together they are known as The Lonely Island.
They started as writers for the MTV Movie Awards. Fellow SNL cast member Jimmy Fallon discovered them when he hosted the MTV Movie Awards many years ago. The rest is history.
The Dudes are known for their genius work in the SNL Digital Shorts. It started with “Lettuce,” hit a strong stride with “Jizz in my Pants” and “I’m on a Boat” (feat. T-Pain), and has let to their latest creations, “Motherlover” and “Cool Guys Don’t Look at Explosions.” That lastest video was shown during the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, which Andy Samberg hosted.
Their debut comic album Incredibad is a must-buy. Songs include “Dick in a Box,” “Natalie’s Rap,” “Space Olympics,” and others you may not have heard before, including “Sax Man” (feat. Jack Black) and their retrospective piece, “Incredibad.” Not only is every song funny, but each has its own creative hip-hop beat that beautifully and hilariously mocks the hip-hop and rap genres. Utilizing auto-tune over their witty verses, the Dudes have created a unique work of art that stems from their personal lives and today’s society. Simply put, it is very funny, good music.

Check after the break (click “more…”) for a large collection of some of my favorite songs and videos by The Lonely Island. Also, be sure to check out their YouTube page for all of their work. Some of their early videos (pre-SNL) are hilarious. Keep it coming, Dudes. Continue reading THE LONELY ISLAND :: The Ultimate Collection
