Cloudy With a Chance of Samberg

Cubsicle can finally move on from all of these slop posts about music to return to our regularly scheduled programming: fanblogging about Andy Samberg minutiae.

In today's video Samberg, one of the "lesser stars" of the upcoming children's movie Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, attempts to show the viewer how animation is made, even though he has no idea.

Like all Lonely Island productions it starts off seemingly legitimate and ends up...somewhere much different.

Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions

If you didn't watch the MTV Movie awards, it's okay. As part of this blog's descent into becoming an Andy Samberg fan-site, I've got you covered. Look, we even have a "Samberg" tag, in case you ever want to search this blog just by posts about Andy!

The video (click above picture) was one of the highlights of the show which otherwise wasn't very good, if only because Will Ferrell digs up the old awful Neil Diamond impersonation and because finally someone acknowledges that awful film cliche' of walking away from explosions.

Even More Awesometown

Glirk
By now you've seen the intro and the intro's intro. Here's yet another youtube link, this time to a full length sketch which made it onto both versions of the Awesometown pilot. Nothing too out of the ordinary for the comedy style of Samberg, seen here playing the part of a sexually amiguous alien. Enjoy.

More Awesometown

Jack Black as George Washington
Before their pilot for Awesometown was complete, Andy, Jorma, and Akiva were able to enlist the duties of Jack Black to shoot a 1 minute introduction to the show. In it he performs as George Washington the way only Jack Black could. Once again, the picture is the link.

Awesometown

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.

Separated at Birth 2

Yet another installment of Separated at Birth, again inspired by my beloved Philadelphia Eagles. Apparently I only make these marginal celebrity lookalike connections during football games.

Eagles TE Brent Celek & SNL Star Andy Samberg

I think it's really pretty close, right? It would be hard for anyone to have quite as big of a nose as Samberg, but if Celek did they would be dead on separated at birth brothers, one being a puny funny man and the other a jacked up football player.

For those keeping score this is our second Samberg reference in less than a month.
