Andy Samberg Is Trying To Crash The Super Bowl With Doritos

Andy Samberg Is Trying To Crash The Super Bowl With Doritos

The marketing team behind Doritos is really going for gold this year, by enlisting generic, vaguely funny Everydude Andy Samberg to help with their annual "Crash the Super Bowl" campaign. The campaign is basically a way for Doritos to get publicity without all the hard work of coming up with their own commercials—instead, they get fame-hungry fans to compete against each other with homemade ads. "America" votes for the winner, who will have their ad broadcast during the big game. Last year's winner involved a chip-crazy pug. This year's winner will have to work with Lonely Island. Is that really...a prize? more ›

Reminder: Emmys Are On Tonight (And Christina Hendricks Will Be There!)

Reminder: Emmys Are On Tonight (And Christina Hendricks Will Be There!)

The 63rd Primetime Emmys are on tonight (8 p.m. on Fox), and while the show is usually a snooze-fest—2005 Emmys, we still haven't forgotten, or forgiven, you—there really are some things to look forward to tonight. The effervescent Jane Lynch of Glee is hosting, a somewhat-humbled Charlie Sheen is rumored to be presenting, Gwyneth Paltrow might get one step closer to an EGOT, and some really really good shows (Friday Night Lights, Game Of Thrones, Parks And Recreation) are getting recognition in the major categories. more ›

Wanna See Jorma Taccone Dance Naked As Lady Gaga Watches?

Below, watch as Jorma Taccone shakes his junk to "Born This Way," as Lady Gaga and Bill Hader look on. more ›

Video: Cookie Monster Rocks SNL With Jeff Bridges

Video: Cookie Monster Rocks SNL With Jeff Bridges
       

After weeks of furry-ously campaigning, the Cookie Monster succeeded in his quest to host make an appearance on Saturday Night Live last night. He sang "Silver Bells" with host Jeff Bridges, who brought his affable presence (though not enough Lebowski charm) to the final show of 2010. The episode brought the usual mix of SNL sweet spots: a laugh-free political cold-open, an effervescent Miley Cyrus Show (with added salvia references), Bill Hader's fantastic Julian Assange (by-way-of Count Von Count) parody, and a team-up by Weekend Update all-stars Gov. Paterson, Stefon, and Snookie to sing “O Christmas Tree.” Click through to see those videos, plus a "Crunkmas" commercial, and the new Lonely Island digital short, "I Just Had Sex," featuring cameos by Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, John McEnroe, and Akon (and serious, if we just had sex with Joanna Newsom, we'd be shouting about it too). more ›

Lazy Sunday Meme Hits Absolute Zenith of Perfection

Lazy Sunday Meme Hits Absolute Zenith of Perfection

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 ›

Crazy Deliciousness for the NY Times

Crazy Deliciousness for the NY Times

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 ›
