People Getting Punched Just Before Eating | The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Episode 24

[@hiatusfromtheworld]

The part where Akiva talks about the punching edit is why I listen. Just so freaking cool. Thanks LI and Seth!

[@MitchMeetings]

I like that you showing more clips here so we know what your talking about, some skits and even digital shorts are hard to find

[@Tuaron]

One of my favourite Digital Shorts, a delight that holds up to this day, doesn't overstay its welcome, changes things up to stay fresh, with a wild turn and great ending. So glad it was made.

[@allisonleatherman5543]

Never seen a single episode of SNL but never miss an episode of this podcast these four men bring me so much joy

[@HellInternAKACandyMD]

...OK, so...SNL not being currently on is one thing...because they earned a VACA dangit...but I mean... ...HOOOOOOOOW? Keenan! Keenan SAVE you from DARKNESS! Canna get WHAT up wid dat?!?! OOHWHEE!

[@l0zz1em0zzi3]

I love when Mulaney and Samberg bully Seth for his casual wear on late night lol, even though I love the casual fits

[@eliassardonis]

I really thought after the random zombie reveal it was setting up a button where the zombies catch Andy and just as they are going in to take a big bite of him... PUNCHED!

[@ellaisplotting]

Oh that would have been PERFECT, I'm disappointed it's not in the actual sketch! 😆

[@psz34]

Hahahaha that would be brilliant 😂

[@ObscureRP]

This was the second Digital Short I ever saw (right after Office Meeting) and I've loved watching it for the last 15 years. Punch on, Islanders! Punch on!

[@clayicus]

Can't get that goddamn doo-doo-doo-da-doot-doo-DOO out of my head

[@camilagnorth]

Seth you wrote one of my favorite sketches of all time on snl ty so much the new jersey vibe is so freaking funny and the OHHHHH its hilarious

[@BaconSomeHearts]

What a wild short to be talking about on the same week Bon Jovi talked a woman off a bridge in Nashville and Dave Grohl announced he's fathering a child born out of wedlock.

[@jasonmurdoc9533]

Had to google it damn the Bon Jovi one baby out of wedlock takes up much more news space

[@sophamapoph1]

This is my favourite podcast by far atm. Though each episode be getting shorter and shorter… please don’t ever stop I love it so! 😊

[@garymickelson7279]

When I first saw this pop up I instantly remembered loving this short though I felt it hadn't aged well due to the many instances of people randomly getting punched by strangers in NYC. Given that, I still laughed out loud ... thank you to Andy Sandberg for your gleeful dances after each punch!

[@CyrusTheFrog]

Love love love this episode!!! I was bracing to hear that it wasn't a fond memory, or that it was all there in the short and there wasn't much to go into, and I'm so happy that's not the case! Loved the details from Akiva about the edit(I always love any of that, like the Body Fusion tech), loved JBJ being precious about being punched, while FF was cool, loved it all!

[@multi-florum]

I love the beat for this short so much.

[@jennbenn8692]

There must be something wrong with me, but several of the shorts you shock jocks are less enthusiastic about, I think are just totally hilarious! The concept behind harpoon man is genius, talking dog is such a clever twist and play on romcoms, and laser cats are my absolute favourite! Thanks for the laughs!

[@eleanorlavish1519]

Just started the ep and did anyone think it would NOT be Akiva? Akiva is who I would go to for most advice, honestly.

[@1personiam]

This one is one of my most watched, even still took me way too long to realize Freds zombie was eating an arm, was like oh a zombie so his arm fell off after getting punched. Also Seth, correction, you also reconsidered the naked guys bend over

[@SpookyQuill]

I’m officially starting a Seth Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About counter because People Getting Punched Just Before Eating and Business Meeting are silly AF and they both deserve to be Criterion qualified.

[@savedbythebelldeepdives]

I haven't even made it to the discussion of the short and I have laughed so much already. Top form.

[@brianmahler4641]

The 'Bu got a name drop at 32:18. Thank you boys. Glasses on!

[@oldanslo]

Glasses ooooonnnnnn!

[@diegom1215]

GLASSES FUCKING ON!

[@patton303]

I was waiting for this one. I watch that video at least once a week.

[@oldanslo]

No mention of when Andy is holding the severed arm after first punching the Zombie, someone in the audience says "oh my God ... ".

[@olygal]

Fuckin impression camp was worth every penny for that Nicholson!

I had to think for awhile to figure out why "sure" and "speed stick" were opposites. Bummer that Jon Bovi didn't get to be on this show.

[@l0zz1em0zzi3]

HELL YEAH ANOTHER EP OF FOUR SHOCK JOCKS

[@sherinameless1618]

Why am I starting to enjoy Jorma's sponsored content? Maybe I will try that man deodorant so that my partner Andy thinks I smell good - and I am Akiva.

[@SS-yk1zr]

Lol Colin Johansson I think was doing his Lutz impression for voice notes. Hopefully the next one is a Forte or Armisen impression

[@chrismorgan422]

Yeah that was my thought. It seemed like a riff on Lutz's voicemails I would describe as "playfully mean-spirited."

[@jasonmurdoc9533]

17:06 I can just hear Ray doing that voice 😂 RIP

[@Vermiliongod22]

Can't wait for new music guys! Hopefully Seth will have some cameos.

[@jessicarussell852]

Big fan of the departing I love you’s ❤️

[@YouFightLikeACow]

One of my favorites. Had it saved on my iPod lol

[@primis82]

I guessed Kiv straight away🎉! I wonder was it Andy's outfit for the Lee premiere? 🤔

[@l0zz1em0zzi3]

hahah I also thought that straight away

[@primis82]

​@@l0zz1em0zzi3Kiv approved the suit Joanna approved the tie 😆

[@toropikaruburuu]

Question for all four: when you say "oh that sounds like something Seth/Andy/Kiv/Jorm would write," how do you know? What do you think each others' writing styles sound like?

[@Obiter3]

Just love that video. I've probably watched it and shared it a hundred times and it always makes me rip out laughing. Samberg is a high end clown.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

I did not get the Halloween theme with the Zombies. I thought Lonely Island needed to add more time😂❤

[@bhseigel]

Fresh, fresh, super fresh

[@IMMACHARGINMYLAZOR]

Question for four shock jocks: What was your favorite idea that a guest pitched to you?

Thanks Akiva for pointing out that the opposite of 4 is in fact negative 4. -Math Teachers Everywhere

[@TheNejD]

This is really the most andy sketch possible maybe not a LI chritereon but a Sanmberg chritereon for sure.

[@sherinameless1618]

I love Andy giving Seth corrections about sexual terminology. But I suspect that wasn't actually Jost. 😉

[@ChicagoZ]

I’m like 15 podcasts in before I realized it might be good to watch the digital short again first lol.

[@JonathanRobertGeorge]

this podcast is how i find out ray liotta passed away?!

[@itzdono]

I think the "not aging well" comment refers to the unfortunate tik-tok trend of kids running up & punching strangers as a joke. It was kind of a problem for a while, especially in NY. I don't think it was influenced by the skit, it was just a stupid trend. I think it kind of stopped after someone got shot or something. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember something to that effect.

[@MoxieKrok]

I hope comedy bang bang somehow makes it into the podcast

[@sherinameless1618]

They were on CBB three times, right?

[@MoxieKrok]

@@sherinameless1618 I think all of them were on twice then once just Andy? It might be all of them 3 times I can’t remember, but the one when John Mulaney and Nick Kroll were on it is one of the best eps ever imo

[@sherinameless1618]

I think you are right about both things - that they were on twice as a group, and Andy was on by himself at least once. And I agree that they should discuss being on the show, because they were so funny. And Seth can talk about CBB coming up with an ice cream flavor for him, since Ben and Jerry's never will.

[@aprilgirl4]

We did it guys. We got a mention of The Bu. (No one else wanted this but me).

[@primis82]

I was hoping for a ‘Bu mention in the dear sister episode,so I also got excited we got one here 😅

[@abarfriedrich5027]

I prefer the casual on Seth

[@Hi-Im-High]

Nooice!!!

[@Klyph14]

40:43 Can I say something about Bon Jovi? 40:46 Cause we haven't really addressed, like, (OBVIOUS EDIT) I was a big Bon Jovi guy. LOL wonder what Andy said in there.

[@LivLaRaj]

When your "an golden era" did a game show sketch, I never thought for a moment " aaah gaahd, another game show sketch!!?!"; the writing and performances were way too strong...

[@IMostlyBlameMyself]

This question is for the whole gang-bangery. Robert Deneiro, RIP, famously said “1 for you, 2 for me.” how many sketches were for you? and how many were catered to what you thought SNL would want?

[@sheridan7475]

The outfit question before anyone answers - Akiva

[@sheridan7475]

Ahh I knew it!!

[@jasonroosa2475]

If SNL had zero cards by dress, Fred, Forte and Wiig could run 90 minutes of improv gold with ease

[@jerrydonbuckholt]

RIP Taylor

[@Mondo_182]

kiva was my guess😅 andy gets hostile with jorm

[@ianmccown]

I wish Jorma and Akiva can do another Just 2 Guyz. Like they are working at a community college now, keeping the youth in a good direction, and some away from the gangster life the Guyz know too well.

[@Aduerson]

Did Messieurs Schaffer & Taccone help with the opening number to the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards that Monsieur Samberg hosted?

[@Billkwando]

Seth has A Closer Look, he doesn't need to wear suits.

[@malignmarcus]

Was Jay Baruchel one of the zombies?? Always thought it was but no mention of it

[@LeelooDallas-44]

What I gleaned from this is Bon Jovi is nice but super vain, not being game for Jon Bovi and dictating that he had to come out on top in the short.

[@sheridan7475]

He’s good at giving himself a good image, just part of the job

[@FilledCringe2024]

This is the tale, of captain jack sparrow.

[@saraxx98]

question: is there an snl host that you would have wanted to work with but you had left already?

[@HoraceInkling]

[@stephenwilsonbarker5236]

are we sure this isn't the Bon Jovi episode of the podcast?

QUESTION: How did you come up with the name "The Lonely Island"? Why not just 'Lonely Island' or 'The Lonely Isthmus'?

[@TwistedEllipsis]

I want to listen to this on KZbin Music alongside other KZbin podcasts, so if you could label this a podcast or whatever you need to do...

[@ericolson326]

Disappointed there was no discussion of the decision to use no punch sound effects.

[@nathangee7075]

Surprised they didn’t mention Andy’s face after he punches a woman and is half dancing, half cringing at what he’s done.

[@MitchMeetings]

Haha didn't age well because now people actually punch people on camera out no where and then celebrate. I'm sure even some of them are eating. Still I think society would got here anyways , we're punching strangers is a "prank" and not assault.

[@jchristo4180]

There was a guy on TikTok who was arrested for running up behind strangers in a park and punching them in the back of the head. And he did not understand that this was a crime and not a prank.

[@Billkwando]

It's the same as Stephen King's story Rage. If he hadn't invented the skool chuting someone else would've.

[@TimeTravelingBunnis]

Huh, I have been looking forward to this episode, because this is one of my favorite shorts from The Lonely Island. 30 minutes of other stuff, 3 ad reads and like 12 minutes about the short. Should I reevaluate my tastes, or are you the ones who are out of touch? Seriously though, Love the pod, look forward to next week.

[@dukealoops1993]

Because KZbin is a commonly used platform for podcasts now.

also they do show the clips from SNL usually somewhere in the middle. But I agree with the first responder, it’s just a thing now
