In case you hadn't noticed, The Lonely Island is totally Buzzworthy's boyfriend. Andy, Akiva and Jorma ... Ever since Tamar got them on The 5, we've been obsessed with them. OK, that's a lie, we were obsessed with them way before. So, you can imagine how pumped we are that The Lonely Island are MTV's newest featured artist!

In typical brilliant Lonely Island style, they've broken the mold with a series of videos that we never saw coming. Just in time for MTV's Spring Break 2009 Panama City Beach party, they've mashed up footage of MTV Spring Break '88 with hilarious new (super crappy looking -- see above!) Lonely Island sarcasm. They use some fancy editing to make it look like they're interacting with the mullet-headed, Oakley-faced meatheads that kept the beach interesting 21 springs ago, and they pull it off magically well. Oh yeah, and Andy Samberg's in a Speedo, if that's something that you care about ...

As you know, this all also coincides with the release of The Lonely Island's debut album, Incredibad. If you somehow haven't seen the insane video for "I'm On a Boat" yet, that should be high on your priority list, too. Before you get to that, though, definitely take a few minutes to watch the hilariously bad-haired Spring Beach clips below. They'll pretty much change your life.

+ Much to her record label's chagrin, Island girl Amy Winehouse has sworn off her trademark sultry soul sound for her next album and has instead adopted a more doob-friendly Reggae flavor. As long as it doesn't have the meth-y fresh tingle, who cares? (The Sun)

+ The Lonely Island boys (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) were recently named to Details' list of "mavericks." And no. Sarah Palin had nothing to do with it. Thank God. (Details)

+ Hollywood darling Anne Hathaway has been tapped to bring Judy Garland's life to the big screen.  (Pop Crunch)

+ Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan is busy crashing her brand-new Maserati into something stationary. (Radar Online)

+ Fergie's keeping her lady lumps and her baby bumps separate, at least until after her tour with the Black Eyed Peas. (Us Magazine)

+ Speaking of lady lumps and taking dumps, can anyone remember a time ever when Scarlett Johansson wasn't pushing those things in our face? Whatever happened to actually putting models on the cover of Vogue?? (Pretty Boring)

+ Have you seen this sneak peek of The Hills Season Five and all the gloriousness that is Audrina and Brody kind of macking it?? (Remote Control)

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.

First of all, if you don't know who The Lonely Island is, I truly feel bad for you. Go watch "Nintendo Cartoon Hour" right this second. It's one of the biggest and best LOLs on the Internet, new or old, and it's actually worth the 2:55 minutes of your valuable Internet-memeing time. When you're done with that, you then need to listen to The Lonely Island's new comedy/ R&B booty jam album Incredibad.

But back to the four of you who don't know who The Lonely Island is, even though you probably do. They're Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone (you've seen him in Gnarls Barkley's "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" video), and they're the comedy writer/performer/ beat-makers behind some of your favorite segments on Saturday Night Live, including, but not limited to "Lazy Sunday" (AKA, the FUNNIEST VIRAL VIDEO EVER... until they created "D--k In A Box" (it won an Emmy!). Remember "Natalie's Rap," featuring a potty-mouthed Natalie Portman dropping rhymes about doing lines and dumping deuces in shoes? They did that too. And, chances are you've also feasted on the fruits of  "J--z In My Pants" and "I'm On A Boat."

Chances are also that you knew all of that and that you already own Incredibad, The Lonely Island's musical debut, which features all of the aforementioned songs as well as an amazing gem about Santana (Carlos, not Juelz) champagne, and cameos by Norah Jones, Jack Black, E-40, T-Pain (more on him in a bit), and unofficial fourth Lonely Islander, Justin Timberlake.

Some more Lonely Island background for those of you just now emerging from your voluntary coma: You've seen Andy Samberg on Saturday Night Live and in Hot Rod, but Akiva Schaeffer and Jorma Taccone write for SNL too, and they're pretty much living the normal guy-BFF dream, since they met in junior high days, spent bro time listening to incredibly bad/ great R&B jams and dreaming of the day Santana would finally make an adult beverage. Eventually they started making comedy videos (again, seriously, watch "Nintendo Cartoon Hour") under the name The Lonely Island. After a few aborted attempts at their own comedy series (thanks FOX... er... and MTV...), they eventually caught the eye of Lorne Michaels, who brought them aboard the SNL mothership, which is how they winded up on a boat... with T-Pain. Who's actually Jewish, it turns out. (Welcome to the tribe, Faheem!)

Recently, Andy, Akiva, and Jorma stopped by Fort Buzzworthy to share four more things you didn't know about Incredibad (five, really, but I already up and spoiled one).

After the jump, hear more secrets of Incredibad straight from the mouths of The Lonely Island in this exclusive MTV Buzzworthy video.

Jorma Taccone is used to playing and writing funny -- he's an actor and Saturday Night Live writer (you have him to thank for the "Iran So Far" sketch featuring Maroon 5's Adam Levine and Andy Samberg and the much-forwarded "Chronicles of Narnia (Lazy Sunday)"), and if you haven't seen his Lonely Island sketches, then you need a new life.

And while breakups aren't usually a laughing matter, there's still something hilarious about watching him get his heart ripped out in Gnarls Barkley's latest video, "Who's Gonna Save My Soul." The rolling peas -- and the fact that the heart totally looks like the Twizzlers mouth -- only darken the black comedy. The whole thing brings new meaning to "I Will Possess Your Heart," and speaking of Death Cab for Cutie, Gnarls' attempt at a DIY heart transplant is far funnier than DC4C's attempt in "Title and Registration."
