Freakin' Amazing! That was so awesome.

"Pass the Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia" deserves to go down into the pop culture phrase lexicon as much as "needs more cowbell" has.

 

"I love those cupcakes like McAdams love Gosling"

"2 no 6 no 12 BAKER'S DOZEN"

"You can call us Aaron Burr from the way we're droppin' Hamiltons"

All brilliant. I seem to remember another rap featuring Chris Parnell about his date with Britney Spears a few years ago that killed me as well.

I must have been in the minority that thought the episode as a whole was horrible... I mean, come on... a skit about wind coming through a door? The digital short was hilarious though.

Well, "pass the Chronic..." is sort of a weed reference, but it was more of a play on words, since they were obviously parodying typical rap videos. The skit didn't have the guys smoking joints or anything.

 

I get annoyed by drug references in comedy too, though. Everyone wants to be Dave Chappelle I guess.

The skit wasn't weed humour though.

 

Pass the chronic, and eating a lot of cupcakes. Yeah, that's not weed humor is it? I don't have a problem with weed humor. I just think it's overdone and stupid.

Wrong. It's geek pop-culture humor the "chronic" is simply wordplay.

You have a problem with weed humor. You cant even tell the difference between a Beatie Boys-esque wordplay/humor song and something like Cheech/Chong.

 

Maybe you should watch John Ashcroft speeches and leave comedy to people who can, like, laugh at jokes dude.

Excuse me for not getting the "geek humor" cupcake reference. :rolleyes:

I like comedy, douchebag, when it's funny. This skit was just stupid.

The point of this skit was the poke humor at the online podcasts that are seen either online or on Al Gore's new TV channel (MTV videos and podcasts that are voted onto the air by the internet.) It basically was done to not "slam" podcasts, but just make a funny one and show that you can make a music video about anything. Hence the blatant photoshop and basic video editing tricks done between lyrics, and such.

 

I thought the chorus was catchy, but after a few watches, it's not as funny as before.

 

My favorite part of the video is when Parnell responds (about the directions to the theatre):

 

"THAT'S A GOOD ONE TOO."

"Lazy Sunday" was awesome--it's not weed humor, it's NYC geek hipster humor (Magnolia Bakery cupcakes, sneaking food into overpriced movie theatres, using Google Maps, etc.). Anyway, if you want to download it, I uploaded it to Rapidshare here. You'll need FLV Player to watch it.

You shouldn't bitch that something wasn't funny when you didn't even get the joke.

Thats a better description than my 'Beastie Boys-esque wordplay/humor song' description...maybe vivietc can figure it out now. Good luck closet stoner.

Jesus, all this talk about what kind of comedy it is as if comedy should be categorized beyond funny and unfunny.

 

I thought it was funny, I don't plan to watch it 6 more times to reaffirm it's funniness or discover it never really was funny.
