Andy Samberg & TLI - Jack Sparrow (with Michael Bolton)

UPDATE: Added the clean version. Originally posted on 5/8/11.
=====================

So I figured the video would be a song about Jack Sparrow, but I thought the dudes would embrace the film and make the jokes about the film (ala Weird Al). However, that's the joke here, and it seems to be making fun of the genre of spoof songs about films.

The Lonely Island and Michael Bolton pay homage to Captain Jack.

Here's the clean version with SNL audience laughter:



It's simply amazing.

WARNING: Harsh language. This nest version is not a clean or bleeped version, and it does not include audience laughter from the show.



Buy at iTunes now. Album everywhere THIS TUESDAY!!!! (May 10th)

I keep wanting to watch this thing! LOL

I love the expressions of the dudes looking at Bolton, and my favorite part is when Bolton pops up in the lame pirate hat and sings, "Now we're back to the good part!"

Hahahahaha.

What do you think? What was your favorite part?

So funny.

Enjoy!

Andy Samberg - I Just Had Sex (SNL Digital Short)

Update: We added some images and a sweet, animated GIF! Yay! We also added a link to the lyrics. Originally posted 12/19 at 2:10 AM (PST).

Here are the lyrics:

   http://andysamberg.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-just-had-sex-lyrics-lonely-island.html



The first single of The Lonely Island's 2nd album!!!
Featuring Akon, Jessica Alba, Blake Lively and John McEnroe!





So this starts out feeling like a remake of I'm On a Boat (describing something basic). But you quickly forget that with all the gags here and with the awesome appearances of Akon, Jessica Alba, and Blake Lively. Hilarious!



It's also cool when Jessica and Blake start dancing near the end.



Akon's loving this song. =^)

First single of TLI's new album in 2011. This proves that Andy's on the album and that this is probably what Jorma is focusing on. (With the last album, they did it in the summer, and they're doing it during SNl this time, so it makes sense that Jorma stepped away from SNL to focus on stuff like this.)



And the fireworks at the end are awesome! This is by far my favorite digital short of the year. I just wonder if they can follow it up with another hit single or two (like how they followed up Jiz* in My Pants last time with I'm On a Boat and Like a Boss (plus Mother Lover, but that was origainl and not on the album)).



Oh, wow, I just saw the "sexolympics" sign. Hahahaha. And check out Akon's facial expression with the fireworks at the end! Hilarious!!! And check out Jorma's expression when he jumps on his mom and dad! He looks all crazy! =^)



So Andy and TLI met Blake Lively when she cameo'd on SNL in a James Franco Digital Short on 09.20.2008. She then hosted on 12.05.2009 and did a promo with Andy. She had Andy do his Swedish Chef in her monologue. (She didn't do a digital short with Andy because Andy did Shy Ronnie with Rihanna that episode.) And this is Blake's second cameo and third appearance/episode of SNL.



Andy met Jessica Alba back in 2006. Andy was a writer for two years on the MTV Movie Awards (2004, 2005), and Jimmy Fallon hosted in 2005, and got Andy and TLI on SNL. So they (probably the producers or writers) connected with Andy, and they brought Andy into a skit for the 2006 MTV Movie Awards (yes, Andy hosted the Movie Awards three years later, in 2009). In 2006, Jessica Alba was hosting. So Andy played Ron Google, Seth played himself as an audience member, and Jessica got disgusted about how Andy and Seth made fun of how everyone was googling Jessica. So that's how Andy met Jessica. This digital short is Jessica's first appearance EVER on SNL.

This was aired during the following episode...

December 18, 2010
Host: Jeff Bridges
Musical Guests: Eminem, Lil Wayne

About the episode: Andy was in five skits this week, including this one. He got to play Rahm Emanuel, Mark Zuckerberg, his ancestor Moishe Samberg (back for a second time from a Justin Timberlake immigration skit), and Billy Bob Thornton. This was a much-needed dose of Andy after him only being in the Stumblin digital short last week with Paul Rudd. We need Andy on the show to make sure it's got some good parts (not saying Andy's the only good player, but he certainly helps when he's in lots of skits like this). Go Andy, go!



What's your favorite part of "I Just Had Sex"?

Enjoy!

Andy Samberg - And Will Ferrell in Explosions (MTV Digital Short)

Updated: Added the YouTube version for all you non-staters. Originally posted 6/4/09.

Digital Short: Explosions



MTV: "We didn't bring Andy Samberg all the way to L.A., just so he could stand around and introduce celebs. We did it to get in his digital shorts! This first short is about movie explosions, and features Will Ferrell, JJ Abrams and about 500 others."

TLI: "Here's the song we made for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Featuring Will Ferrell and JJ Abrams. Originally Aired 5/31/09"

YouTube version:



MTV version:



This is a classic! This is what they should have done with Will Ferrell on SNL. I think the dudes approached Will with digital short ideas (they mentioned in an interview that they were going to), and they agreed to save one for the MTV Movie Awards instead.

Enjoy!

Andy Samberg - Is Steve in "We Like Sportz" (music video)

The sequel to "Just 2 Guyz" is here!

Taken from The Lonely Island's debut album
"INCREDIBAD"
In stores 02/10/2009

The Lonely Island is Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone.



This is the Lonely Island music video.

0:57 Andy Samberg is Steve again!!! Andy reprises his guest appearance character, Steve.

Andy's facial expression is amazing!!!

Overall, this video is pretty funny that they are so awkward about sports, but it just isn't the same as Just 2 Guyz. The original seemed better because they seemed to have just met, being two friendless guys who became friends and started a party with just the two of them. That just seemed funnier than two guys who are awkward about sports.

Also, I enjoyed the jump cuts in Just 2 Guyz. This sequel doesn't use the jump cut effect. Instead it uses flash photography effects, which are much easier to do. I'm not sure if they didn't use the jump cuts because they also did them in Lazy Sunday and they didn't want people to think they were using Lazy Sunday effects or what. But Just 2 Guyz used jump cuts masterfully before Lazy Sunday, and I was hoping to see more of them in this video. No such luck.

Jump cuts are when the people seem to jump to new locations in the screen. It's done by keeping the camera still, moving around, and then editing out the sections where you're moving so it looks like you pop into new locations.

Check it out in the original Just 2 Guyz:



I noticed that they do use the camera effect once. The original just seemed funnier with Jorma saying stuff like "you get tossed."


Enjoy!

Andy Samberg - Sings Zanzabar (Incredibad)

This was a pre-SNL song that they never got around to making a video for.

Song taken from www.thelonelyisland.com.

Warning: some graphic language.



I think the accented character is from Jorma. The other is Andy Samberg.

Enjoy!

Andy Samberg - Ignores Tucker (Tucker's Song)

We've been avoiding posting this, but it is definitely Andy and the dudes (and Andy isn't giving us new content to post), so here you go.

WARNING: Extremely sexual and crass language. Listen at your own risk!!!!

"Brian Tucker has something to say about The Dudes."



The interesting aspect of this video is that Andy and the dudes used it to pitch and come up with Roy Rules. Here's Roy Rules:

http://andysamberg.blogspot.com/2007/04/andy-samberg-thinks-that-roy-rules.html

This is a similar approach used by Bing Bong Brothers...

WARNING: Lots of sexual language here as well!!!



...To sell SNL on their Testicles song (it uses the same intro and outro idea with an awkward music video in the middle):

Update: We got new versions of the Roy Rules video up on its page. Enjoy!

Andy Samberg - Wants to be with a Stork (Stork Patrol)

"I love you like my wingspan."

WARNING: Harsh language and sexual innuendo. It's pretty gross. We haven't featured it because of that, but it's Andy, so it belongs here.

Andy's hair was a little shorter.






Enjoy!

Yuk! I just saw an ad for married dating and affairs on this page! Noooooooo!!!! What the heck??? Google?? Why?????

Andy Samberg - Who Invited Steve? (Just Two Guys)

Here is Just Two Guys from The Lonely Island. The video stars Kiva and Jorma, but Andy makes an appearance as the outcast, Steve.

Andy is bringing a lame skateboard. He says nothing, but he's still hilarious.



Enjoy!

Andy Samberg - in Awesometown (the theme song)

Here is the theme song for Awesometown, the Lonely Island's failed pilot. The Bu Episode 8 ("We Didn't do the Bu this Month") inspired this song.



I'm mostly including this one because Jorma's cursing rap is censored for television. Obviously, the censored rap later inspired the Saturday Night Live Natalie Portman rap.



You can also see Andy's goofy humor here a bit.

"So if you have a sandwich come roll with me!"




Enjoy!

Andy Samberg raps - Ka-Blamo!!!

The funniest part of Lonely Island: White Power was this video. Check it out. It's just a whole bunch of silliness done by The Lonely Island before they were on Saturday Night Live.

Andy Samberg sounds exactly like Adam Sandler at the beginning.

"Your water is watery."

Warning: there's a gross mole.

At the end: "Hard."

"You watch the Disorderlies. Not Ka-Blamo!"



Enjoy!
