When last we visited "The Dudes" of Lonely Island, they had just released their new album. In passing on the info I mentioned they had previously worked on a television pilot before ultimately landing in different behind-the-scenes roles on Saturday Night Live. Their pilot, called Awesometown, was commissioned originally by Fox and then again by MTV, neither of which ultimately picked up the show for a season. Then Lorne Michaels came calling and the rest is history. The link to the clip is in the picture above. It's the pilot's opening sequence. You can start to see why their brand of humor is better served in small doses as SNL Digital Shorts rather than full broadcasts.
