Back on December 17, 2005, Saturday Night Live aired a digital short called "Lazy Sunday"—an ode to cupcakes, using online maps, Mr. Pibb, The Chronicles of Narnia and, uh, the chronic—that struck a chord and became a viral sensation on YouTube, especially as NBC kept taking it down. Last night, Jimmy Fallon reunited Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg for a live version, with the Roots backing them, of the ditty: more ›

Easy, sugar fiends - the new Magnolia Bakery outpost on the Upper West Side (Columbus at 69th Street) isn't quite opening at 11AM as Eater reported yesterday. We walked by around 9:30AM and the sign said that they anticipated a noon opening. more ›

We sort of slept through this season of Saturday Night Live. Sure it had its moments, but the show still isn't what it used to be (even Rainn Wilson couldn't revive it for a night). The best thing to happen in recent years has been Andy Samberg and the Digital Shorts (what did you think of last nights? Watch it here). These broke out in 2005 with Lazy Sunday, and kept going strong in 2006 (see: Dick in a Box). more ›

Like you, we assumed that the Lazy Sunday meme died about two weeks ago, but it turns out it was just waiting for us to look away, and then SNACK ATTACK, M0TH3RFCUCKER! It simply doesn't get any more meta-licious and web-overloaded than Andy Baio's niece and nephew performing their own version of the Lazy Sunday rap (direct link to MP3 here.) This proves there's no such thing as jumping the shark. Lazy Sunday will live on forever! more ›

After our last Lazy Sunday post you thought the meme was dead, right? We'll you guessed wrong, sucka! We'll never let it die, never! Three years from now we'll still be grinding it into the ground, sucking one last drop of cupcake/red-vines/mr.pibbs goodness from the joke. Take this amazing Ebay auction (current price: $71.00!) spotted by Amy: more ›

short, to being "above the fold" on the NYTimes.com website is nine days! We doubt The Lonely Island/SNL gang was up at 8AM to see the "Lazy Sunday" article, "Nerds in the Hood, Stars on the Web," take the prime position on the Gray Lady's Less Gray Website, but Gothamist did. And we love the internet. Apparently the Lonely Island guys, Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone, along with Chris Parnell, wrote the sketch together and shot it all over West Village and Chelsea in the week before it aired. Parnell takes the time to tell the NY Times that his raps about crushes on Britney Spears, Kirsten Dunst, and Jennifer Garner have been mostly well-received by the stars, though he hasn't heard from Britney Spears. The article does not, however, mention the short's impact on sales of Magnolia Bakery cupcakes, Mr. Pibb's, Red Vines, or the Chronicle of Narnia movie tickets (or the chronic, for that matter). more ›

For the last 24 hours we've been deluged with requests to track down Chris Parnell's "Lazy Sunday Afternoon" video (AKA "The Narnia Rap"). It can be found at YouTube, and it is indeed the funniest thing SNL has put up in about five years. A quick transcription of the lyrics: more ›
