Loading ...With Andy Samberg’s movie out on the big screen, it’s time to truly delve into the creative genius that Berkeley produces. Samberg, a SNL castmember, is also a Berkeley native. Back before he presented his dick in a box on live TV, Samberg teamed up with other Berkeleyans Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone to form The Lonely Island.
The Lonely Island group produced/wrote/directed/acted in such gems as “Dick in a Box,” “Lazy Sunday,” and the major motion picture “Hot Rod.” We’ve put our hardcore journalism skills (read: web surfing) to the test to bring you Lonely Island originals.
Make sure you have an extra pair of pants at hand—you may be soiling yourself with laughter.
“Ka-Blamo!” details the ins and outs of being ka-blamo (i.e. cool). Listen carefully, and catch onto beauties like “When a mole’s in your ass and wonder where the mole is, you’re screwed, man—a mole is in your ass.” Very true.
“My Pants” is simple and understated. It’s funny throughout, but you’ll have to wait all of its 30 seconds for the real punchline.
The guys did a few pilots, but no networks picked up their shows. Above is the intro to “Awesometown,” and we’d have to agree that it is pretty awesome, especially the part about the “sensitive” one.
We already knew that Berkeley natives were weird, but these guys are weird AND effing hilarious.
