  The new pizza crepe taco pancake chili bag… only at Taco Town!!

  posted by matt | 06.15.08 | permalink | 7 comments

  The Taco Town!!! parody on SNL was one of the more memorable fake tv commercials (”Pizza?! Now that’s a taco!”). It was a spoof on Taco Bell’s products like the Cheesy Gordita Crunch (delicious) and the Double Layer Taco (also delicious).

  Kristen and I went with a group of friends to Fitzwilly’s last night. We started talking to Ethan and Angela (who live in L.A.) about mexican food chains we don’t have on the East Coast, like Del Taco and El Pollo Loco. This skit came up in conversation. Ethan then did a rather good impression of Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis, and Andy Samberg excitedly yelling “Taco Town!!!” from the skit.

  And of course, you guessed it– due to the awesomeness and popularity of the sketch, some hooligans actually attempted to make the Taco Town taco and posted a video of it on the internets.

  The original transcript of the scene after the jump… (more…)

  Every single holiday, a dick in a box

  posted by matt | 05.14.08 | permalink | 4 comments

  Since I posted about Lazy Sunday, there’s been some debate between Jamie and I about whether or not Saturday Night Live has had an SNL Digital Short better than Lazy Sunday. I have to say, I think that Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg’s Dick In A Box might actually trump Lazy Sunday as the funniest SNL Digital Short ever.

  One: Cut a whole in a box

  Two: Put your junk in that box

  Three: Make her open the box

  And that’s the way you do it.

  Lazy Sunday

  posted by matt | 05.09.08 | permalink | comment?

  Ever since Andy Samberg and the fine fellows at Lonely Island made Lazy Sunday, SNL has embraced the idea ‘Digital Short’ fully. Thank god, because there have been some real gems since. There have been a bunch of parodies and many many homages (with a particularly good one being Lazy Scranton), but the original is still king.

  Who has seen this and hasn’t songspoken it?

  Scarlett Johansson covers album of Tom Waits songs

  posted by matt | 04.29.08 | permalink | comment?

  I can’t believe Scarlett Johansson recorded an album’s worth of Tom Waits covers. Remember the ‘Ya gotta get yourself a chandelier!’ skit from Saturday Night Live?

  Anyway, here’s a video to ScarJo’s new song, Falling Down. I was prepared not to like it, but alright… I’ll admit it…. I think it’s okay.
