OH, THAT’S A BURN
01.27.10Andy Samberg has established himself as probably the most important cast member of “Saturday Night Live” in the Web 2.0 era thanks to the digital shorts he makes with Lonely Island. However, the widespread success of Samberg’s music videos (“Dick in a Box,” “Lazy Sunday,” Natalie Portman’s rap, “I’m on a Boat”) predicated on the same humor (white people adopting postures from hip-hop culture) has made it ripe for parody. In this video, Landline TV calls out Samberg for being lazy, and while I don’t necessarily agree 100% with that viewpoint, there’s no denying the humor in the slice of truth they present.
Basically, I’m congratulating all parties on a job well done. I’m trying to be even-handed for once. I was torn between writing this balanced opinion and LANDLINE PWNS ANDY BITCHASS SAMBERG IS TEH SUX.

Yes, because Lady Gaga song parodies are a far more explosively creative way to pass 4 minutes.
WTF is it with these comments? Did I get bounced into the “Gay Virgins Chat Room”?
Leapin_Lizards, anyone repping J.R. Smith has to be a dumb motherf*cker. Your post was spot on.
Man, kind of a fag party up in this comments section, amirite? Tell me more about that one chick in the video. You know, the one with the big tits.
Leapin_Lizards, I agree completely. It was terrible.
most people don’t realize this, but they’re doing VERY specific style parodies when they rap. “stork patrol” is in ghostface’s cadence, “like a boss” is slim thug…..it’d be one thing if they were rapping in the same way every time, but they’re not. they’re hip hop fans, they do it out of love.
Wow, these guys do a really good job at taking an obvious idea and going nowhere with it. And this is one of their better videos.
I’m On a Boat sucked.
Why all the hate? He tops the four you mentioned with Jizz in my Pants and MotherLover. If it takes seconds for Andy to come up with that stuff that had me rolling and watching it repeatedly, fine by me!
The fake digital short about sweaters within the parody took 100 times more thought and effort than the last five lonely island shorts.
No problem. Didn’t want people to get confused that the title of your video continued ad infinitum throughout the comments. Easy mistake to make.
Thanks, DG. Stupid end quotes.
Fine then, I will play the role of the odd-handed…whatever that means. Does it have anything to do with masturbation?
