Sketch - Complaints

Hahahaha! So this is an Andy Samberg and Melissa McCarthy sketch (yay!). Andy says he's never gotten any complaints as a lover, and then he gets literally hundreds.

It's great to see that Melissa and Andy had fun playing together a little with the promos and then with this skit.

Do you think Melissa and Andy have good chemistry together?

Great ending! "To our terrible love-making!" Hahahaha.

Andy Samberg's going to be in the Dorritos Superbowl Ad!

Andy Samberg Is Trying To Crash The Super Bowl With Doritos



The Lonely Island...with Doritos
The marketing team behind Doritos is really going for gold this year, by enlisting generic, vaguely funny Everydude Andy Samberg to help with their annual "Crash the Super Bowl" campaign. The campaign is basically a way for Doritos to get publicity without all the hard work of coming up with their own commercials—instead, they get fame-hungry fans to compete against each other with homemade ads. "America" votes for the winner, who will have their ad broadcast during the big game. Last year's winner involved a chip-crazy pug. This year's winner will have to work with Lonely Island. Is that really...a prize?

The shtick this year is that Lonely Island will also be creating an ad for the contest. If their ad wins (by scoring well on the USA Today Ad Meter, which measures the popularity of Super Bowl commercials using SCIENCE), they'll donate $1 million to charity. But if Regular Joe wins, he gets $1 million for himself and the chance to work with the Lonely Island crew, described as "one of the hottest entertainment teams in the industry today." Just look at this topical Lady Gaga spoof they made!

Anyhow, despite the fact that none of the previous contest winners have gone on to much success, Doritos is convinced that this year will be totally awesome. Company reps say the buzz for these things is huge—over 5,000 people entered ads for a recent game played earlier this year. "I would love in two or three years from now for the winner of this year's program be directing or producing major motion picture film, that is true success," said marketing suit Tony Matta. This is truly a marketing stunt that would make newly deceased, chip-encrusted Doritos inventor Arch West proud.

So there's a cynical approach! Ha!

This guy needs to give Pepsi/Doritos a break. After all, their attempt last year one (with the pug) won for best commercial and the company has a solid history of winning (Pepsi and Doritos): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_Today_Super_Bowl_Ad_Meter

Who knows, the ad might be good. Andy was in a Pepsi Super Bowl ad a few years back with Justin Timberlake. The Lonely Island has made a few amusing but not amazing commericals so far, including York Peppermint Patties, MTV Movie Awards, and the vodka one. But Akiva has directed a few fantastic music videos, so hopefully they'll pull out something amazing for this Super Bowl.

Do you think they'll pull it off?

Andy Samberg & Bill Hader shoot aliens in Stomp - SNL Digital Short

Andy and Bill Hader team up to shoot aliens, and this time there are no cats involved...

A Stomp musical routine breaks out in a police precinct, but is interrupted by alien-like visitors. Aired 10/1/2011 on SNL.

Film SNL Digital Short - Stomp

Fred Armisen ... blue man
Paul Brittain ... blue man
Bill Hader ... police officer
Andy Samberg ... police officer
Jason Sudeikis ... criminal
Kenan Thompson ... criminal



I thought it was enjoyable, but you know everyone's comparing the shorts to the musical digital shorts. So seeing how there was no digital short last week, this is a solid short, and it's good to see Andy being goofy again... but we're all still waiting for the first musical short of the season, and we're sorry to see that Melissa McCarthy and Andy didn't team up for a digital short this week.

Andy was only in three skits this week (digital short, The Essentials show, and Complaints).

It's early to tell for sure, but I'm going to toss in my hat that Melissa McCarthy will get an Emmy nomination for hosting this show. I think she nailed a solid show, showed some great characters, showed some stellar comedy chops, and is coming off an Emmy win this year (2011) for her show, Mike & Molly. What do you think?

I might update this opinion later as I go back and review more of this week's episode.

Enjoy!

Andy Samberg's Mark Zuckerberg impression at the Facebook f8 conference (videos)

Samberg jokes Facebook has "more [members] than the cast of 'Glee'" and that he put "a bullet in the back of [MySpace's] skull."

Impersonating Mark Zuckerberg, Andy Samberg gave the keynote address at the fourth annual Facebook f8 Developer Conference Thursday.



"I'm going to start by focusing on key issues. First: authentic identity. And under this sweatshirt are rock solid, cut and greased abs!" joked Samberg.

"Now let's get to the part where I brag about user growth," he went on, adding that the site was growing so fast "that honestly we just stopped counting you guys. We've got more people than the population of Europe, more people than in the cast of Glee, even more people that claim they came up with Facebook. Burn!"

He then joked about MySpace, saying he put a "bullet in the back of it's skull… kidding, kidding… not kidding."

Charlie Sheen also came up. "We're switching the focus from user growth to user engagement… [like] when Charlie Sheen gets married. Kidding! He abuses drugs a lot…"

Samberg also introduced the "Slow Poke," which takes 24 hours to get to its user, showed off Zuckerberg's new dog, Beast, and flashed a shirtless photo of himself captioned "Zuck Dawg!"

As he was singing about trail mix, the real Zuckerberg game out. "Andy, what the hell are you doing?"

They went back and forth about who was who -- "I'm wearing a hoodie, flip flops -- classic Zuck Dog!" Then Samberg joked, "Sometimes I want to be you Mark. I want to take your face… off."

Samberg also impersonated several other "Bergs," including The Social Network's Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Wahlberg.

Before leaving the stage, Zuckerberg wished Samberg good luck on this weekend's premiere of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Alec Baldwin.

"I'm probably going to phone it in. I used all my good stuff on this," deadpanned Samberg.

Enjoy the video! And be sure to check out SNL tonight!

Well did Andy "phone it in" on SNL last week? Sort of, actually. He just plugged in and didn't really write his own stuff. Give us something great this week, Andy!

Enjoy!
