this may be a bit premature to call best video of 2008

Thanks to lynchwalker.

UPDATE: A bunch of The Lonely Island guys' music is up for free at their site. Not this one, though. INCREDIBAD comes out this February, and will feature it.

Hilarious and yet so wrong...

Eh, it's okay, but it's no dick in a box.

That's true, but "dick-in-a-box" was 2007's video of the year. I think. Wasn't that last Christmas? (note: please don't think of Wham's "Last Christmas")- and this one doesn't have Justin Timberlake, which is a musical obstacle not even the entire Lonely Island crew can overcome.

Heh.

I said "come."

I prefer this to "Dick in a Box" immensely, and Justin Timberlake is the janitor.

I bet you have an endoskeleton made of a vanadium/trivium alloy. ;-)

I'm not sure which one I prefer yet, as I think I'd normally listen to this kind of music on my own, but I enjoy the mockery of the smooth-operator R&B inherent in Dick in a Box.

Nice spotting of Justin, as I'd assumed that was the 3rd guy from The Lonely Island group.

see, I hate R&B so much that parodies of R&B don't do much for me. but parodies of douchebag eurobeat? that's a musical genre I can get behind. and push into traffic.

Strangely, this makes me want to listen to the Pet Shop Boys.

Makes me want to go talk to the local checkout girls.

Makes me want to see a film. Possibly a horror film.

Or, you know, eat a grape... if you get my meaning.

In fact, I did fire up Disc 2 of Alternative right after I watched this. Great minds think alike.

[sdemory.livejournal.com]

Said it before and I'll say it again: there's a reason you're tops in my harem.

I think it may have been the line "I believe it was a horror FILM" that PSBed me as thoroughly as this song did. That or Timberlake doing his best Chris Lowe impersonation in the background.

Either way, this makes me happy in the pants. I expect it could wear quickly, but it's good fun.

Yes. Totally dead-on accuracy. These guys are...really good at this.
