Dick In A Box - Uncensored SNL Clip
One year ago, "Lazy Sunday" bombastically announced the arrival of The Lonely Island trio (Jorma Taccone, Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer), the youthful saving grace of SNL. One year later, it's clear that didn't happen.
I can't say definitively that it's their fault; I've read Live From New York and watched a little Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, so I'm aware of the bureaucracy that squanders original sketch-writing in favor of mediocrity. But when something like "D*** In A Box" comes around, it definitely makes you wonder why, aside from that Natalie Portman rap, our boys didn't turn that show around in '06. This SNL Digital Short featuring an inspired Justin Timberlake is a funny, provocative, and refreshingly non-MSNBC-parody-based bit -- yet another glimmer of hope for the terminally ill variety program. SNL, the Lonely Island is still the cure for your disease. Godspeed in '07.
Either put the show out of its misery or fire everybody, dump the lame political humor INCLUDING the news segment, ditch the music segments and do an hour of nothing but sketch comedy.
They shoot horses. They euthanize dogs. Why won't somebody end this show's misery?
