Here are our opinions...
The dudes have only had one hit Digital Short this year so far with Iran So Far. They had 2 other great shorts: Andy Punching and Laser Cats 3D. There were also good ones like Hero's Song, DVD Grandsons, The Miror, and Jonah's Dating Andy's Dad. (They also had Daiquiri Girl.) Total so far of 3 songs (1 was great) and 3 great shorts.
Last Season, the dudes had two hits with Junk in a Box and Dear Sister. They also had other great shorts like Andy Popping onto Frame, Business Meeting, and Harpoon Man. They also had good shorts like Talking Dog, Laser Cats 2, Roy Rules, Sloths, and Nurse Nancy. Total of 4 songs (2 were great) and 5 great shorts.
Their first season, the dudes had two hits with Narnia Rap (Lazy Sunday) and Natalie Portman Rap. They also had other great shorts like Laser Cats, Young Chuck Norris, Ariel & Erfim (My Testicles), Lettuce, and Andy Walking. And they had a few good ones like Doppleganger, an Peyote. Total of 4 songs (all 4 were great) and 7 great shorts.
Personally, I think Ariel & Efrim (My Testicles) and Young Chuck Norris should have also been bigger hits. Note that I'm not really mentioning the Andy-less shorts or the ones that didn't feature Andy much.

The Future of SNL Digital Shorts
The thing is, the dudes have to re-invent themselves every season (that's the corner they put themselves in with the digital shorts; it's not like Will Ferrell where he could nail the same characters and make everyone happy).
A friendly reminder that these are just our opinions...
Are the dudes running out of juice? Season 1 of "Andy Samberg on SNL" had 4 songs. All were great. Season 2 had 4 songs, although only 2 were great. Season 3 has had 3 songs so far, but only one has been great.
Season 1 had 7 great digital shorts. Season 2 had 5 great digital shorts. So far, Season 3 has had 3 great digital shorts. Are they slipping? Are they going downhill?
Notice how Laser Cats 3 was great? If they are able to continue hits with sequels that are still fresh (what people like Mike Meyers and Will Ferrell are known for), then they will be able to keep the ball rolling more. I mean, people really want another Natalie Portman Rap, more Young Chuch Norris, Justin and Andy, and, of course, more Lazy Sundays. They've only recognized this with Laser Cats.
Come on, Andy! You can't come up with original ideas forever! We want sequels to your hits (as long as you keep them fresh ala Mike Meyers, Will Ferrel, and Laser Cats 3)!
Thanks!
