SNL's Andy Samberg on Punching Spree
By all recognized laws of pop culture, one thing is universally understood: at some point, Andy Samberg and the boys of The Lonely Island are going to find themselves facing a major-league backlash. But for right now, they are riding high with viral success. And bless them for it.
This Digital Short actually reminds me a lot of the short films that Albert Brooks would make for Saturday Night Live during its early seasons -- but shorter, and more laced with video game references, and maybe not actually funny. But it's really cool to see a fresh comedic voice being spotlighted on national television. It's like Saturday Night Live is almost... cutting edge. Well. As cutting edge as one can be with a Bon Jovi cameo.
