    Admittedly and from an objective viewpoint I understand that this isn't anywhere near their best work. Personally though it's one of my favorites so far as for some ineffable reason this shit just cracks me up so hard.

    I struggeled to crack a smile, I dident really find that costume too much of a stretch for Bolton. All I could keep thinking about was office space and beating printers with bats.

    I died halfway through the very first chorus when Samberg just looks up and says "What?"

    No idea why, but that was the best part of the whole song for me.

    Erm...his expression in the Forrest Gump bit was mildly amusing. The rest of it? Not so much.

    Comedy is the most unreliable form of entertainment. Stuff that makes some people rofl will fall flat for others.

    I thought this was pretty entertaining, but like most of their stuff, the musics video is necessary, or at least makes it a lot funnier. I loved how Bolton just did not give a fuck and kept singing about pirates lol.

    ^^

    My least favorite of their songs I have heard so far. Bolton one was better.

    There totally should have been a Harry Potter verse.

    This is the tale,
    of Harry James Potter!
    A wizard so great
    at playing Quidditch.
    On a mystical quest,
    to find all the Hallows,
    His emerald green eyes,
    look just like his mum.

    ...or something.

    This was awesome. Definitely the most I've laughed on any of their new songs. I Just Had Sex and The Creep are both amusing, but neither made me laugh out loud like this one did.

    The first time I watched this, I didn't really think it was funny. After watching it again I decided it was pretty fun -- the bits parodying movies (some of which I had seen) were pretty well done. I also found myself actually enjoying the music itself too, hah.

    And once I figured out that "Lonely Island" was the group doing it and that the video itself wasn't supposed to be about an island, and google'd both them and Bolton to figure out who they were, it got significantly funnier.

    Good link!

    @Taure -- yeah, an HPverse would have rocked

    @Ragon -- I've seen both of those but didn't know they were the same guys here til you pointed it out. I'm on a Boat is amazing, but I found Jizz in my Pants to be more stupid than funny, personally.

    I didn't think that this was really that funny at first (more like funny at all), but Taure sings/quotes it all the time, and now I can't see "This is the tale, of Captain Jack Sparrow" without chuckling a little. I think it's more of a "Wow, this is odd" laugh more than anything, but laughter is laughter.

    Wow. Just wow.

    Best one ever is Do The Creep, IMO.

    ....And then I laughed out loud :awesome
