CrediblyHandsome: Motherlover is great, too.

“And while you’re in my mother, make me another brother.”

GoredonTheDestroyer: I mean, it’s a good song, that just so happens to involve penises in packages.

Kerblaaahhh: I remember the acceptance speech for that, I think it was Andy Samberg who said “You know when we wrote this, we were all thinking Emmy”

ErraticDragon: Oh fuck. This article is from September 2007. *Dick in a Box* is over 10 years old.

Martianese: So when The Lonely Island does it, they get an Emmy, but when I do it I get arrested. Stupid double standards.

StoneGoldX: My favorite Lonely Island thing ever is the line “Michael Bolton is a major cinephile.”

MoarStruts: Theon Greyjoy’s theme song.

nerdershark: So they’re making another called Tour De Pharmacy, a movie about doping in competitive racing. I don’t know how much Lonely Island is involved but it’ll be hilarious because Andy is a genius.

_Mr-Skeltal_: Step one….

Hashtaglibertarian: My husband played this song on our first big date together as we drove to the destination. 8 years going strong!

dunnkw: I went to college with one of those guys. They used to make the dumbest short films and pass them out on VHS. I still have an original one from 2001. I never thought they would amount to anything. You can imagine my embarrassment.

b299: every day we stray further from being saved by batman

ItsComaWitch: And all along I thought it a Jerry Falwell reference. Still the truth remains.

TIL that adding salt on pineapples makes it sweeter. The salt reacts with the acids of the fruit, thus converting into a neutral compound and losing the sour taste. Because of this, the pineapple then becomes sweeter. »
