Everytime someone tells me that SNL really is funny again, I end up watching some stupid piece of crap like this that fails to provoke a single grin, much less a laugh.
When will I learn?

jt’s performances were A++ last night.
you guys are crazy, this is hilarious. also, that last episode was one of the best in a looooooong time. the matthew fox one was good too. i actually enjoy this show now. long live kristen wiig.
xpost jbr otm
I ain’t got no flying shoes
That was excellent. I’ve been hassling my mom with various YouTubage and she’ll completely piss herself when she sees this.
jt is always good on there. i got something for the haterz.
“jt’s performances were A++ last night.”
yah, he was swell. hip hop kidz was tops. so was dry eyes show.
it was ok funny. sort of.
i want jt’s sweater vest he had on during the my love performence.
diddies kiddies on youtube = justice.
last week’s episode with anette benning was horrible, but this week’s was great. JT was great.
thoughts on ludacris?
fuck these knobs
this reminds me ow the genesis of youtube was some hackneyed bullshit that everyone i knew thought was funny—aka wtf.
h
not as funny as 4 andy richters doing boyz ii men
OTM, but at least slightly funnier than Lazy Sunday, I think.
Natalie Portman rap > Lazy Sunday > this, I think. That’s the entirety of my SNL experience in the last five years.
One of the youtube links led me to SNL’s recut Apocalypto trailer. Unbelievably awful.
ok someone just showed me the natalie portman thing too. fuck these faggots imho. “oh hurrrr we are white yet we act black and canned laughter ensues”. if I was joseph mengeles I would sew all these white bitches together
I’d go Natalie Portman>D in a B>Lazy Sunday
I watched a few other skits on Youtube—it’s sad when the musical guest is a better actor by far than anyone in the cast, and it’s pathetic when that’s not even saying very much.
But the “My Love” is a great performance all around. My opinion of JT has just gone up another notch or two.
as much as that lazy sunday pissed me off the natalie portman was so many levels worse.
(and that tragic timberlake makes great songs but can’t sing—and what’s w/the nearly constant begging for face punching—except you wouldn’t cause it would really hurt the guy. imagine a young prince or r. kelly or even babyface or whoever singing my love, think of how sweet that would be).
i like his new tunes but ya his voice sux :‘( i liked lazy sunday @ first but i just got sick of it.
I loved the lettuce digital short. It seems to have spawned a large number of remakes on youtube...
And yeah, both Timberlake performances were great...
I liked this one, too. (This was last week, right?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP2Fp7vJD4E
And Jake Gyllenhaal is hosting soon!
i think its interesting/sad that snl is doing more and more not-live segments.
yeah thats pretty interesting.... PSYCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol do you see what i did there
lol u do not liek snl.
A lot of SNL stuff used to not be so much L, back in the day. Maybe they should embrace that, at this point.
That first vid was funny to me because the mother of the kid I teach English likes justin timberlake.
Sissy is HAWT!
i’ve said it before, snl need more Kristen Wiig.
Is she the one who does that unspeakably painful Target employee character?
also, what’s with the 15-year olds coming to this thread to spew teh hate?
I laughed my ass off at this the other night while still kind of dreading the instant hype/backlash cycle it would inspire. It probably helps that when you see it on TV you have no idea what it’s about until the chorus hits, whereas on the net everyone’s going to click on it after already being told it’s “the dick in a box song,” which probably takes half the fun out of it. I still think Samberg is kinda corny and potentially the new Fallon, but having a good singer on this makes it work the same way that having a good rapper (Parnell) on Lazy Sunday made it work.
Kristen Wiig is great! some of her characters do kinda suck, though.
“Is she the one who does that unspeakably painful Target employee character?”
such a horrible rip-off of a mo collins mad t.v. character.
mo should sue.
NO PARNELL NO CREDIBILITY
i wonder if snl will ever hire anyone as funny as mo collins? maybe someday. stranger things have happened. they did hire will farrell once! or even someone as funny as stephnie weir.
jbr and map otm, this was funny and the show has been in a mini-stride lately (even the annette bening one had its moments). dudes it’s snl, it’s never like mindblowingly great.
i think kristen wiig is the best, but she does have a wierd mad tv air about her
it also needs more of Bill Hader who does the spot on al pacino. i really liked the “Al Pacino checks his bank balance”. Im also convinced that Bill was once a chef in my work cafeteria.
the “mountain man” one where amy poehler and k. wiig get matthew fox to kiss them was one of the hottest things i’ve seen a long time
I’ve given JT plenty of shit about his voice in the past but not anymore. I think he’s been working with someone to work out some of the inconsistencies and tightness that were in his sound up through Justified because even his falsetto is more secure/assured and relaxed than it was.
I don’t think it’s so spot-on — he makes Pacino sound like a southerner. (xpost)
There are people in this world who think that Natalie Portman thing is funny.
That just kind of blew my mind, to be honest. I can’t hear this at work (or at home—anyone else ever have problems with YouTube not making sounds on their computer?? It’s the only website that does this from time to time), but I am A+++ certain that it is funnier than the Natalie Portman thing or Lazy Sunday. It would be hard NOT to be funnier.
Forget “My Love” — “What Goes Around”
Its Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph’s facial expressions that make me roffle. It wouldn’t be half as funny without them. The song is also horribly catchy.
The Target Lady is pretty annoying, but she’s a great character actress. I think I already like her stuff more that Rachael Dratch.
L@@K http://video.nbc.com/player.html?dlid=51289
i think it’s A+++.
Look, I’m not trying to say that the Natalie Portman rap is the funniest thing ever, but I laughed when she told the little kids to “suck my dick.”
Didn’t Parnell do another rap besides the NP one and the Narnia one? I swear there’s another one he did that was way better than those but, fuck it, memory be shot!
seeing this video made me wonder about the personal relationships, network politics and backstage hijinx that made this possible
This stuff is always funnier when it relies less on “look at white people doing black music/look at unassuming whites acting like agressvie/violent rappers” and more on actual punchlines in the song (which is why I thought “Lazy Sunday” was funnier than the Natalie Portman sketch, which I thought was mostly stupid except for Samberg in a viking costume).
That being said, you can’t really find a better punchline than “It’s my dick in a box.”
It’s the step-by-step instructions that get me.
(That and the perfect wardrobing — that mustard-colored button-down with the extra flap over the buttons is such perfect Color Me Bad action.)
That and Maya Rudolph mouthing “thank you” with a deeply grateful look on her face.
mr. show’s version was funnier. but i like justin.
nerf herder:
Bend up your stocking hole, Cause this month aint made of coal
I’ve got a Boner for Christmas
Cranberry sauce, ice cream and muffins
You be the turkey and I’m the stuffing
I’ve got a boner for christmas
Singing joy to the world, to each and every girl
To all of of you girls, oh oh YOU!!
ohhhhhhhhhh...... YEAH!!!
Hang up your christmas stocking
and let me put my cock in
I’ve got a boner for christmas
All year you’ve been in a runt
this time lets do it in the butt
I’ve got a boner for christmas
Singing joy to the world, to each and every girl
To all of of you girls, oh oh
I’ve got a boner
oh oh oh
for christmas
this was pretty funny, but JT’s real SNL masterpiece was that “Omletteville” skit last time he hosted.
i missed it the last time he hosted. the homelessville thing makes more sense now duh.
See, the key there to lack of LOLs are the words “nerf” and “herder.”
nabisco OTM. The awesome Structure-circa-1992 outfits, round tortoise-shell glasses, and sweet 98-Degrees beards killed me (and yes, Mr Show did some of this too).
And of course “Put your junk in that ba-ah-ocks”
And the bit where he’s tickling what’s-her-name with the feather and she starts to get visibly annoyed.
Dry Eyes was a great bit.
SUCK IT DAD.
Nerf Herder = free pass for Buffy-theme associations
Structure = sometimes I wish I had some overalls so I could wear one strap off the shoulder
“Put your junk in that box” = terrifically sung, too, is the thing
Other funny thing of this weekend, apparently = Hip-Hop Kidz (“I think dancing may be the worst possible call, yo.”)
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.
needs more rattails
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.
sonned.
These are guys who understand the value of presentation.
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 still like lazy sunday imho.
also, what’s with the 15-year olds coming to this thread to spew teh hate?
Tape Store is at least 16!
approx_age.xls
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.
damn, why is that stupid baton twirling vid so hot?
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 know that JT knows better.
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.
so don’t give me no jive about this swill being amusing
Lighten up, Francis.
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.
jt not writing show picking costumes
I would guess that Samberg knows better, too, then.
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.
JT = an inspiring story of show business struggle and total redemption.
I don’t think that DIAB is that funny, but “Diddy Kiddies” is fucking HI-larious.
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
2. PUT YER JUNK IN DAT BO-OO-OX
Context for “gangsta”-Portman:
JT was infinitely funnier and more convincing than Jimmy Fallon in the awful Beegees talk show sketch, and he barely even did anything.
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.
yeah, it looked like he was trying to cram three shows worth of energy into one sketch.
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.
huh
this is like an information street
i still like the “Backstage at the CMA-ay-ay-ays”
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
“I’m wise enough to know when a gift needs givin’”
lxy: “i can’t believe they didn’t make the kwanzaa presents bigger.”
...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...”
ok, that is funny
It’s cute, but lightweight enough to be a “web sensation”
stepdad: “they shouldn’t have wrapped the chanukah presents.”
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.
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.
My friends and I have been quoting “step one” all weekend.
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.
seriously?
“it’s my belly button ring in a box”
well, not everyone.
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?
...Yes.
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!
btw, despite NY Times thinkpiece on his evolution last week, Justin is STILL A TWERP.
thanks for that
np
morbius in a box
ok, THAT’s funny.
OK, that’s funny
Oh, for Justin’s twerp in a box...
