Also I think the biggest part of the funniness here is that if someone was like "I got you a present, girl ... it's my dick" that would be totally lame, whereas these guys are like "no, look, I wrapped it and everything, it's a dick in a box." These are guys who understand the value of presentation.

u guys are all roffle mid 90s sleezebag outfits but judging from how fucking inanely tone deaf that show is i don't doubt that they think that's how those guys still dress.

you're saying they should go into food service?

this was not funny, andy richter 10x better, brief glimpse of justin i caught made me ask why he exists again, etc etc, except this could maybe be salvaged if someone appropriate is brought in to do the layne staley version

I am 37, so I actually have a reference point for when SNL was funny, so don't give me no jive about this swill being amusing. Get one standards.

You know that JT knows better.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, agree that Natalie Portman cursing is not funny. Very first-level. This clip works in at least a couple of ways at once, and it's damn funny.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:26 (seventeen years ago) link

so don't give me no jive about this swill being amusing

Lighten up, Francis.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:28 (seventeen years ago) link

That DIAB song is pretty catchy but I guess only because the chorus is Baby Come Back by Player. Kinda sad that Justin Timberlake is so much funnier than the actual SNL cast guy who's just sort of... there.

― walterkranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:33 (seventeen years ago) link

jt not writing show picking costumes

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I would guess that Samberg knows better, too, then.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:35 (seventeen years ago) link

jt not writing show picking costumes

neither the writing nor the costumes are particularly funny. Timberlake's facial expressions and little gestures are pretty hilarious though. I mean you have two dudes working side by side with the same material and one gives a funny performance, one doesn't.

― walterkranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:38 (seventeen years ago) link

JT = an inspiring story of show business struggle and total redemption.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think that DIAB is that funny, but "Diddy Kiddies" is fucking HI-larious.

― Jay (jaymacke), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 01:42 (seventeen years ago) link

i thought it was pretty funny.

and yeah, the costumes + the step-by-step is what does it.

1. CUT A HOLE IN A BOX

JT was infinitely funnier and more convincing than Jimmy Fallon in the awful Beegees talk show sketch, and he barely even did anything.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 04:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Jimmy Fallon is funnier in context. In the context that he left the show, but keeps hovering around it because he's far too lousy to do anything else, and this is all he he has, and GIMME A JOB PLEASE! PLEASE! ANY JOB! That's fucking funny.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 04:33 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, it looked like he was trying to cram three shows worth of energy into one sketch.

― grady (grady), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 04:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Man, that guy stinks so bad that I think if I saw him on the street I think I'd feel compelled to tell him, and not even in a hassling way so much as a friendly advince get-a-different-job sort of way.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 04:42 (seventeen years ago) link

huh

this is like an information street

i still like the "Backstage at the CMA-ay-ay-ays"

― kingfish in absentia (kingfish), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 04:52 (seventeen years ago) link

That DIAB song is pretty catchy but I guess only because the chorus is Baby Come Back by Player.

haha yeah. also, the opening couplet = "Why Can't We Be Friends" by War

PTC: Not a Fan Of Boxes

http://www.comcast.net/data/entertainment/eonline/images/news/2006/12/22/2006/12/22/br-48627.jpg

...As of Friday, more than 4 million people had watched the clip on YouTube, with countless others taking it in through NBC's official site, much to the dismay of the PTC.

"This is a new low for NBC," PTC President Brent Bozell said in a statement. "Clearly, the network will stop at nothing to find loopholes for its indecent programming to reach the public..."

― kingfish in absentia (kingfish), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 02:09 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, that is funny

HAHAHAHA!

American 'guardians of decency' with sand in collective pooter = BIG FAT SURPRISE.

High point of my yesterday was being serenaded with this by ILX friend, who sang lustily and well.

"It's my dick in a box," the duo croon in the song's explanatory refrain.

JOURNALISM.

― elmo albatross (allocryptic), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 19:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I wonder if they'll do a song about this ("They got sand in their...What!")

countless others taking it in

This phrasing is great.

when this first aired, our TV went all wonky right before the short began. the audio was crystal clear but the picture was fucked for the whole thing. we were still laughing at it.

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

My friends and I have been quoting "step one" all weekend.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 19:58 (seventeen years ago) link

this video provided me with the opportunity of telling everyone I didn't actually get a present for "I figured out your Xmas gift!" and then giving them a YouTube link. thanks, SNL.

Showed this to the mom of a kid I tutor, as she likes Justin Timberlake.
A: She laughed, but then said "But he's still so cool/handsome/hot..."
B: Followed shortly by "Who's that other guy? Is this N*SYNC?" DIDN'T NOTICE IT WAS A JOKE.
I mean, she didn't know exactly what was being said, as Japanese is very much her first language, but she knew what was going on.
Reminds me of the thread about people that didn't get the Colbert Report.

WTF with the parents television council protesting something that was actually censored on television but uncensored off it? are they going to be protesting my house when i watch profanity-laced DVD's?

― mikebee (bizzle), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:01 (seventeen years ago) link

...Yes.

― Geza T iz tha Rainy G. Toronado (The GZeus), Friday, 29 December 2006 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

most under-appreciated moment of the video: close up of both the dudes' faces, harmonizing, "cuz i'm wiiiiise enough to know when a gift needs givin'!" lols!

― hm (modestmickey), Saturday, 30 December 2006 05:22 (seventeen years ago) link

btw, despite NY Times thinkpiece on his evolution last week, Justin is STILL A TWERP.
