You'd like to think you know everything there is to know about The Lonely Island -- the three-dude braintrust behind Saturday Night Live's Digital Shorts/ your favorite viral videos like "I'm On A Boat," the jeans-soilingly hilarious "J--z In My Pants," and the ode to the surprise-inside tradition of gift-wrapping your junk that is "D--k In A Box" -- and their debut comedy album, Incredibad. But just because you know all the words to "Santana DVX" (and just because you camp out outside Akiva Schaffer's apartment, which you should definitely stop doing... oh wait... that's me) doesn't mean you know EVERYTHING about The Lonely Island.
Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg (who's hosting the 2009 MTV Movie Awards!), and Jorma Taccone sat down with me (well, technically I stood), and revealed the videos that inspired Incredibad, from R. Kelly's "Your Body's Callin'," to En Vogue's pants-j-ing "Never Gonna Get It" video, to the blessing and curse that was Snow's "Informer."
Watch them all below, or, if you'd rather click on a link than a button, watch The Lonely Island's Incredibad-inspired videos, with commentary right here.
