Dick in a Box | The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Episode 15

[@juzoli]

I’ve learnt 2 things from this episode: - They were on track to have the worst digital short, as they were out of ideas, yet they ended up with the best in last day - Timberlake had a huge role in the dramatically improved production quality of later Lonely Island musical sketches.

[@chesssse6607]

Start of the most iconic trilogy ever

[@Billkwando]

Until George Lucas comes along in another 10 or 15 years and adds a bunch of crappy cgi to them.

[@MrOvlov02]

whats up with that whats up wit THAT

[@TheHezzaT]

I love love love jorma nerding out over music production 😍 Jorma most underrated producer of all time

[@Jenniferlwarm]

Laughed out loud at Andy's impersonation of his own bad singing and the boys saying they were in the audience laughing their heads off. 🥰

[@kid2digit]

There are more laughs from the audience in the first 50 seconds BEFORE the reveal than in the last half dozen shorts. Every moment of this was gold.

[@A-vg2yp]

Dick in a Box is one of my favorite SNL things of all time. Loved the follow ups too. You guys picked the perfect host to pitch it to because he can make anything sound good.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

First thing I do Monday mornings- listen to this podcast. Thank you for letting me laugh along with your memories. J.T. is still a legend in my house of TROLLS. I appreciate your creativity and friendships. ❤😂

[@KeelyShaller]

Lonely island boys I know you’ll never read this but you’re my heroes! I’m from Berkeley and go to bhs, and I’ve been pursuing comedy for about a year now. I do stand up at school and my greatest dream is to be on snl. Having your photo on a wire box thing outside of school is legit comforting, it reminds me that people from my neck of the woods can achieve my dreams. I’ve been a huge fan of all your work since I was a little kid, I hope you all know you make annoying east bay kids feel like we have a chance! Thank you for everything, Keely

[@Billkwando]

Have you seen the totally manageable number of comments these podcasts get? There's more than a decent chance that one of them will read it, probably Akiva. 🤪

[@IMMACHARGINMYLAZOR]

Good luck! 🍀

[@rotherthies]

You should do a box in a box remix!

[@TheJoshDM]

Seth admitted in the last podcast that he reads everything everyone posts on the internet.

[@Billkwando]

@@TheJoshDM Yeah but that's on A Closer Look, for Corrections. 😜

[@Mysteriouslydarkstorys]

As someone who watches Brooklyn nine nine the whole way through at least once a year I'm totally with Andy on the LOTR topic

[@alexbryda]

B99 is SO GOOD

[@rotherthies]

Only once? I've watched it twice thru this year already..

[@rotherthies]

I only watch it for Andy, Terry, and Andre if I'm honest..

[@bethany7247]

Why didn’t they show the legendary picture they were describing???

[@lforlight]

That's a really good question. It's not even on their Instagram, that platform for posting photos.

[@PaulC-Drums]

Really wish they would have posted it. I can’t find it at all.

[@IrvSauce]

As a (super duper amateur) musician, I really loved the geeking out about recording/production the song. Cool to hear how good JT is at production

[@strongbad8315]

Instant Hit. You could tell right away, and we talked about it the next day at work as it went viral through email and KZbin.

[@HeriEtHodie]

Aw please post the photo of them watching it!!! I was waiting for you to flash it onscreen and I googled and couldn't find it!

[@FatNorthernBigot]

"In Bruges" is one of the funniest/most disturbing movie I've ever seen.

[@molochi]

I wasn't really a Timberlake fan until he did Dick in the Box. But my favorite thing he did was lip sync the killers song in Tales of the Southland. Very underrated satirical alt teality sci-fi movie.

[@aprilgirl4]

Seth I LOVED hip hop kids. “You gotta learn your sedimentary rock formations Jo-Jessica!”

[@Eyepatchfilms]

I gotta see this mcdonalds sketch

[@OhHiyal]

33:00 sponsor ends ALL LOWERCASE

[@Naptime2013]

Nice nugget about the police bit… so much better knowing they were police just hanging out 😅

[@SealStepMusic]

need a podcast episode about the digital short “the date” with megan fox and will forte. one my the best underrated digital shorts ever. lives in my head rent free.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

1:12 IN BRUGES!!! We love that movie, especially because we lived in Bruges for almost a year.

[@Billkwando]

I can't believe they talked up the photo of them watching the sketch on the monitors so much, and then didn't show it. 🤣

[@adzooks44]

they haven't been great at showing things they are discussing, but sometimes. It couldn't have been too hard to insert a photo, though 😝

[@alexbryda]

LONELY ISLAND PODCAST WHY AM I JUST SEEING THIS😂 BRO DUDE I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WHEN THEY WERE POPPING ON YT NOW IM 28💪 literally grew up on these dudes content 😂 favorite movie of all time, HOTROD and its NOT EVEN CLOSE ❤ "I GO TO CHURCH EVERY GOD DANG SUNDAY" 😂😂😂😂

[@thechrishenschelpage]

54:27 nice choice of words haha

[@razzledazzyl]

9:19 It’s a tragedy that this was recorded last year, long before this year’s Dune and Deadpool popcorn bucket phenomenon. I feel like they would’ve had a lot to say about it.

[@fondelero]

35 minutes in, Seth chooses blowhardy political commentary over comedy. Who knew this would be his entire future. 😅

[@LoopyChew]

I've been laughing at "I'm required by laaaaaaaaaaaaaaw... to tell you I'm a sex offender" since the moment I heard it.

[@drew_harrison]

It is 1:30 am guys

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Yup it is and somehow I'm awake watching this I need to revaluate my life choices..

[@Lunamorphous]

​@@chriscripplercruz1833I also need to do that.

[@toastedjoe1013]

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.

[@primis82]

​@drew_harrison it's 11: 30 somewhere...

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

@@toastedjoe1013 all I saw while reading this was Garfields face lol

[@nms7872]

PTA would have been in the making of There Will Be Blood while he witnessed the debut of Dick in a Box

[@ramsoomair]

Is it better to listen here or on spotify? I know spoofy's pay rate for songs is low but curious if it's the same for podcasts.

[@neonpeonu]

Will there ever be video for this pod?

[@razzledazzyl]

I once wrote a gag for a comic book page about Dime Box, Texas (home of the Dime in a Box attraction) featuring the Dick in a Box guys singing “DI_ _ in a Box!”

[@HoraceInkling]

Cool story.

[@mrmichaellatham]

timberlake did his michael mcdonald impression as an update piece on the paul rudd/beyonce episode where they did the single ladies dance.

[@thatguycolor]

i wanna see the legendary picture now

[@smokenace711]

Big fan currently watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine

[@PooNinja]

Nine Nine!

[@lsmc8909]

Where is the photo that you talk about??

[@randysmith3008]

16:16 the 8-Ball jackets work better than Starter jackets.

[@christiannasimmons4599]

2 things. 1- totally agree with Seth about LOTR, 2- about 14 years ago I was living in Seoul. Went into a Burger King around Christmas time and what do I hear blasting on their radio but the the Christmas classic- unedited Dick in a Box. Probably should not have been playing at a family establishment...

[@canadaclaret]

There is a classic tv commercial from Nederlands where a family in a sedan happily nods their heads to pop song with the chorus "I wanna fuck you in the ass" repeated over and over. The tagline is something like, "Want to improve your English?" with the contact info for a language school.

[@Vermiliongod22]

Best part of a monday! Thanks guys!

[@badad0166]

51:00 Ah, the old "Take 'em away, boyz" ending. Python used the same "busted" technique to end "Holy Grail". But in their case it was a 'God in a Box' curtain drop solution to terminate a meandering sketchy plot. For DIAB it was just a nice button. I think I feel a trope coming on (I'm so pithy).

[@primis82]

Ooh early drop, noice way to start my Monday 🎉

[@sammyjeanh]

I love hip hop kids! "If there was ever a day you could talk, it would be today K Smoove"

[@chim-choo-ree]

Joanna's new album will be a concept album about the Silmarillion.

[@skoogum1]

I still go back and watch "Cool guys don't look at explosions"

[@tiannaboyes]

I just watched the square Graden vid and no offence but it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life 😂

[@CrazyOneToo]

Such an awesome skit!!

[@sheridan7475]

Love this podcast

[@Lechugameister]

The rewatch pod itch got me so I started to watch SNL in the year I was born, the first monologue has a Clarence Thomas joke, it was in 1992...

[@costanzafaust]

Thanks for including the links to the videos.

[@miguelg9497]

How did they not talk about Justin’s ending of dick in the box going in circles. The way he sings it long is exactly 90’s r&b singers

[@ritax8196]

Yeah yeah yeah I remember it !!! It actually cracked me up every time! I’m glad someone noticed it too😂

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I love the game show sketches!

[@DarcyWalker]

Peak Lonely Island

[@loridemontigny2340]

I love In Bruges as well!

[@GhostofNykr]

Just was singing this in my head

[@ericolson326]

Had to pause this to watch the MSG clip. Kind of disappointed you didn't do the Kid n Play kick step but touching boxes instead of feet.

[@jeremyloomis9839]

In Bruges is a phenomenal movie

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I want to watch LOTR with Andy

[@wackywankavator]

Great Day and Shy Ronny and I'm a Boss. Hurry!!

[@MantasticHams]

i just gotta say lonely island doing podcasts about all their bits is the most 2024-ass sh!t ever

[@illusion-xiii]

I spent a good minute trying to figure out how to find the "Very Good Talk Show" before going back and hearing it again..

[@brendangalvin3414]

What is the famous photo of the Lonely Island crew viewing the monitors? I'm having trouble finding it.

[@BrianRussTVC]

Studio 60 mentioned!!!

[@GodlessPhilosopher]

Classic crew!

[@ritax8196]

Please Do another ‘motherlover’ episode!!!😂

[@TheJoshDM]

Gonna listen to this in a couple hours, but I totally hope it doesn't live up to anyone's expectations.

[@Billkwando]

How could y'all do this to me? I'm supposed to be in bed soon. 🤪🤪🤪

[@pogoham]

Are there any clips of Michael McDonald's McDonald's? I can't find it!

[@Skinney135]

I was one of those people that thought it was "cock" in a box when I watched the live premiere. Didn't diminish the hilarity for me.

[@pesky716]

Can we see the photo?

[@doctorbolognamd7103]

Should order the face images by size of forehead.

[@ethanc.6385]

Better question, what do you think of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies...

[@ChaseSmith]

wish they showed the monitor photo!

[@nicholasboyer2317]

Can you please share the photo you mentioned of you three looking at the monitors while Dick in a Box is debuting? I would love to see that!

[@Hi-Im-High]

Nooice!!!

[@obamallammallama3930]

Oil up!

[@spanish2boys]

My theory is that Jorm needs the money thats why he does the ads with Seth.

[@gwemlins]

We need Michael McDonald's McDonald's on second chance theater!

[@PooNinja]

Bring it on in to homelessville 😂

[@roelfkromhout]

Hard to believe it’s been almost 20 years…

[@reizig]

I know it was mostly a joke, but don't tease us, guys. I will 100% be here for a Lord of the Rings fightcast.

[@BurtSampson]

dick in a box was the first thing i heard from them. i remember watching it live the first time it aired, and not having any idea at all who the hell hte other guy next to JT was in the video

[@caesarvolz6945]

It's truly bizarre to hear them say they "idolized" Justin Timberlake and thought he was "cool". I honestly can't imagine grown men feeling that way.

[@nms7872]

It was a different time. 20+ years ago. And then he was in their most popular digital shorts on SNL as they were becoming famous. They aren't going to talk shit

[@AD-df5tm]

You cant imagine guys in their 20's thinking one of the most famous and talented people on the planet was cool? Why? 😂

[@Quindolin]

Yung Poop on Spotify am I right?

[@monyafeek101]

Akiva's voice sounds like Jake Gyllenhaal.

[@tygerstripes3752]

I abso thought it was 'Cock in a Box' the first time I watched it Live on SNL. It was such a great episode, but DiaB was the cherry on that Timberlake sundae.

[@NA-sq1pt]

Just found out Katrisse Barnes passed away. Rest in peace to a legend!

[@EatinPaste]

...I was a die-hard SethHead until that LotR bullshit, Seth!

[@daylightrambler]

If you want a Late night Show host who loves LOTR, there's some french guy on CBS.

[@williampalmer8052]

I was told long ago that if you let people talk for long enough, eventually you'll learn that everyone is a dumbass. For Seth, it took him 15 episodes.
