george derek what about people that got cpr? YOLT?

I feel like Lonely Island SNL shorts is the absolute peak example of being a teenager during the mid 2010's. I mean I was like 13 when this came out but still counts

[@AnneliesvanOverbeek]

I was 15 then and I couldn't agree more,,, this is my childhood lol. I even watched this in school

[@d_chatz8353]

I was just 53 when this came out. Ah, to be young again

Should have felt what it was like to be mid 20’s when these shorts started coming out.

God. Lonely island sure did go above and beyond with the digital shorts. No one on the cast or writing team is anywhere close to what these guys created. Kyle and Beck need more freedom right now. Theyre the only ones that even come close

This sketch was ahead of its time. We should’ve stocked up on purell then. SMH 😭

[@lemonystar_]

this song is the quarantine anthem ngl

[@jamesonsix19]

Ok, first off awesome as always, Samberg and them are so funny. What's crazy is yes they're completely joking around being funny but there stuff usually sounds better than 90% of the stuff from actual artists nowadays. I don't know if that's solely an indictment on the current music scene or on their own abilities or both but either way I hope they keep it up, their stuff is hilarious. "Dick In A Box", "Mother Lover", "3-Way" & "Threw It On the Ground" come to mind and are all great!

[@benbacharach3977]

I love that Danny Mcbride is randomly in this

[@gerraltkroon4337]

YOLO, you only live once The battle cry of a generation This life is a precious gift So don't get too crazy It's not worth the risk Yeah You know that we are still young So don't be dumb Don't trust anyone 'Cause you only live once Uh, you only live once, that's the motto So take a chill pill, ease off the throttle Never go to loud clubs 'cause it's bad for your ears Your friends will all be sorry when they can't hear And stay the hell away from drugs 'cause they not legal Then bury all your money in the backyard like a beagle 'Cause you should never trust a bank, they've been known to fail And never travel by car or bus, boat or by rail And don't travel by plane, and don't travel at all Build a bomb shelter basement with titanium walls And wear titanium suits in case pianos fall on you And never go to saunas 'cause they're crawlin' with piranhas And never take the stairs 'cause they're often unsafe You only live once, don't let it go to waste You know that we are still young So hold off on the fun Cook your meat till it's done 'Cause you only live once Yeah, and here's another piece of advice Stay away from kids, 'cause their hair is filled with mad lice There's no such thing as too much Purell This a cautionary tale, word to George Orwell So don't 1980-force any plugs into sockets Always wear a chastity belt and triple lock it Then hire a taster, make him check your food for poison And if you think your mailman is a spy, then destroy him No blankets or pajamas, they can choke you in your sleep Two words about furniture: killing machines Now, board your windows up the sun is bad for your health And always wear a straight jacket so you're safe from yourself Uh huh, take no chances, stop freelancin' Invest in your future, don't dilute your finances 401K, make sure it's low risk Then get some real estate (how much?), four point two percent Thirty year mortgage, that's important, that's a great deal And if you can't afford it, don't forge it on your last bill Renting is for suckers right now A dependable savings And you'll retire with money in your account Beast! YOLO, say no-no Isolate yourself and just roll solo, be careful-o You Oughta Look Out also stands for YOLO You know that we are still young Burn the prints off your thumbs Then pull out all your teeth So you can't bite your tongue Only on this earth for a short time, time So don't go outside, cause you don't want to die, die Just take our advice and hide And scream YOLO to the sky You oughta look out Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Khari Cain / Rhiannon Bryan / Rhydian Davies / Andrew D.
