Andy Samberg podcast - Nerdist

Thanks to Amy for the scoop!

Nerdist Podcast #79: ANDY SAMBERG
by Chris Hardwick



Andy Samberg

Cross-platform alert! I wrote the cover story for the May issue of WIRED which is an interview with Samberg about the evolution of comedy in the Digital Age. While the magazine just plucked a snippet of our chattings, THIS IS THE FULL UNEDITED AUDIO! Just for you! You can see some of it with your eyes and then absorb the rest of it with your ears! Andy is a solid dude. It was a genuine pleasure to sit down with him and trade words.

Go here to listen to the podcast:

Andy Samberg in The Times

Happy Easter Andy Samberg fans!



Freya reports that Andy Samberg is in The Times...

My heart just skipped a beat! There I am flicking through my parents copy of The Times 'Magazine' supplement and there's Andy Samberg in Natalie Raps! I flick back a page and it's only a whole... article on them!

"Take three geeks, add some cheap special effects, and a couple of hollywood celebrities now watch as your videos become and online phenomenon.... How Lonely Island made the internet a funnier place"

You can read it here but you have to pay to sign up. I'll see if I can get a snap of the picture and get round to typing it up at some point!

Andy Samberg & TLI - YouTube Q&A Video

So given Andy Samberg's Wired interview, the Dudes are thinking about how they can upload YouTube videos more often (and maybe make those profitable).

The dudes getting Comedy Central's permission to upload their live performance with Akon is a good example.

And now they plan to do a Q&A video!

Heads up! The Dudes are going to record a Q&A video at YouTube HQ, vote & ask questions on the YT channel (deadline is Monday morning):

Monday morning is right now! So go and submit your questions!

Garfield Sex Music? ('We're Back' promo site)

UPDATE: We added more warnings that this is gross, and we listed out all the reasons why we know this came from The Lonely Island (it's called deductive reasoning; watch Psyche or Sherlock Holmes for more on that).

Thanks to Freya for the scoop!

WARNING: FREAKY FAN FICTION. ADULTS ONLY. THIS IS VERY GROSS. CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK.

http://www.garfieldsexmusic.com/

It contains the animation of Garfield from We're Back. I couldn't bear to show that animated GIF here. It's just too disgusting. However, if you don't want to click the link, but still want to see Garfield being disgusting, you can see it briefly in their music video below (versus seeing it huge and constant, looped on the site).

This site was made by The Lonely Island as a viral attempt, and it links to:

http://www.thelonelyisland.com/video/were-back



Here's how we know it's from TLI:

1) They linked to it from their Twitter. (Thanks to Freya for posting that.)

2) It's their animation. It's in "We're Back."

3) Reminds me of Sloths and Giraffes, which are also by TLI.

4) It links to their "We're Back" video, so it's obviously a viral marketing tactic.

5) This is probably the 8th or so viral marketing attempt they've made (strange games, videos, or websites that promotes a TV show, movie, or video). So it's their M.O. I think their first ones were the Hot Rod game, Rod website, and series of Rod home videos they made for the Web.

Do these viral sites work? The Lonely Island keeps doing little things like this, so either they work or they just do it cuz it works a little and it's fun.

Either way, it's good for us (as long as it's not Garfield being nasty).

Andy Samberg & TLI - Rejected Album Covers

Here are The Lonely Island rejected album covers for their second album:



Andy's face was pasted on. These are obviously a joke to remind everybody that TLI is working on their album. My guess is that in these few weeks between SNL episodes, Andy and Akiva are helping Jorma work on the album in high gear (and that this is Jorma's full-time job right now).



What do you think? Which one do you like better?

Thanks to Freya for the scoop!
