Video: “Dear Sister”

Already number ten at YouTube and climbing. It’s a break with form for Andy Samberg, whose digital shorts for SNL skew towards music parodies (“Lazy Sunday,” “D*** in a Box”). The music’s part of the joke here too, but only atmospherically.
Starts off well but ends disappointingly and the scene with the sister is just sort of weird, but a good way to start the week.

Stupid is an insult to stupid, boring is an insult to Democrats
EricPWJohnson on April 16, 2007 at 9:34 AM
Will liberals laugh at anything????
wryteacher on April 16, 2007 at 9:38 AM
How is that a good way to start the week?
Tru2my2 on April 16, 2007 at 9:48 AM
Geez, tough crowd. Lighten up.
Allahpundit on April 16, 2007 at 9:49 AM
Lighten up?
I expect better at HA – don’t dumb us down with garbage like this, especially on a Monday morning.
That’s right, consider yourself spanked, AP.
Tru2my2 on April 16, 2007 at 9:54 AM
Is that a laugh track, or are you seriously suggesting that people laughed at that?
Jaibones on April 16, 2007 at 9:55 AM
The epitomy of stupid.. what a waste of space.
Viper1 on April 16, 2007 at 9:57 AM
I posted a video yesterday of a guy being kneed in the balls repeatedly. What are you talking about?
Allahpundit on April 16, 2007 at 9:59 AM
Awful. And dangerous.
greggish on April 16, 2007 at 10:02 AM
Kind of lame.
Actually, there was nothing kind about it’s lameness – it was just lame.
Sort of emblematic of what I’ve come to expect from SNL these days…
Mibrilane on April 16, 2007 at 10:02 AM
We are all stupider for having seen that. May God have mercy on your soul.
TBinSTL on April 16, 2007 at 10:03 AM
Crap! I missed that.
wytammic on April 16, 2007 at 10:04 AM
Made me think of “The Departed.”
Slublog on April 16, 2007 at 10:04 AM
Made me think of Columbine.
greggish on April 16, 2007 at 10:05 AM
Found it:)
wytammic on April 16, 2007 at 10:09 AM
Ball smashing is funny … the video above, not so much.
wytammic on April 16, 2007 at 10:15 AM
I LOLed. Monday stupid to cleanse the palate.
spmat on April 16, 2007 at 10:16 AM
i don’t get it. is this a parody of an episode of the oc?
jummy on April 16, 2007 at 10:25 AM
SEE WHAT YOU DID AP? NOW HE’S CRYING!
jummy on April 16, 2007 at 10:28 AM
I thought it was pretty funny. The music makes it.
The Colossus on April 16, 2007 at 10:29 AM
I REALLY dislike that type of “humor”.
If you post anything more like this please issue a content warning so I don’t click.
You might have posted Warning: Young people with guns slaughtering each other. If you didn’t get a chuckle from Columbine, you won’t like this…
Thanks
Babs on April 16, 2007 at 10:32 AM
FOX News Alert: One dead, one wounded at VA Tech. shooting
Someone should put it to music with a laugh track and post it up on YouTube.
Babs on April 16, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Well, I guess we have to start somewhere. Why not the bottom?
RedWinged Blackbird on April 16, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Allah,
Don’t underestimate the humor in ball smashing.
amerpundit on April 16, 2007 at 10:41 AM
That really depends on whether you’re watching the smashing, or are the smashee…
Slublog on April 16, 2007 at 10:43 AM
Riiggghhhtt.
rightside on April 16, 2007 at 10:44 AM
No,
This is a good way to start the week….
THIS IS CAKE TOWN!!!!!!!!!
BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!!!!!
NeoConSnakePlissken on April 16, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Quick, AP, put up some pictures of Knut the Adorable Baby Polar Bear to help calm down the angry masses!
Man, grumpy Monday morning for some of us, eh?
I for one appreciate your attempts to lighten the mood on occasion with amusing, useless videos. They’re not all amusing to me–but the great majority of them are, so I find it easy to forgive the occasional dud. Those of us who enjoy your wit and sense of humor need to compliment you more, AP, and let you know we appreciate what you do.
aero on April 16, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Quite true.
amerpundit on April 16, 2007 at 10:45 AM
I can’t stop laughing when the guy in the green shirt walks in and gets popped. Hysterical.
Allahpundit on April 16, 2007 at 10:46 AM
Knut is sick. Literally.
amerpundit on April 16, 2007 at 10:46 AM
Shia Labeouf? Can’t watch the video here, but saw it the other night. I think he was the one in the green shirt.
amerpundit on April 16, 2007 at 10:47 AM
Can I have that 5 minutes back?
CrazyFool on April 16, 2007 at 10:50 AM
It was Labeouf, and he just saw the funniest thing.
Slublog on April 16, 2007 at 10:50 AM
This comments thread was funny enough to make me laugh. You win some, and occasionally you lose one, I guess, O Moon God. For the other hosts’ sakes, I’ll admit that readers’ preferences are somewhat a matter of individuals’ taste, but in my case, it’s mostly your posts and the comment threads they generate that keep me coming to HotAir, Allahpundit.

yeesh! so airplane wasn’t funny because airplanes sometimes crash in real life?
jummy on April 16, 2007 at 10:53 AM
No wonder everyone’s so grumpy!
aero on April 16, 2007 at 10:54 AM
Hey, everybody has their own take on stuff. I can’t give you the exact formula, but to me, this has the pitch perfect feel of youthful gunplay death glorifactition porn. Wow, you think maybe I’m overstating it a bit? But seriously, that is how I see it.
greggish on April 16, 2007 at 11:01 AM
Allah
No good deed goes unpunished…
EricPWJohnson on April 16, 2007 at 11:04 AM
I’m actually glad Allah posted this. It’s good to know what kind of sketches SNL is serving up to their ever dwindling audience these days.
greggish on April 16, 2007 at 11:08 AM
I chuckled.
EnochCain on April 16, 2007 at 11:22 AM
The View. OC. What manner of horrors does AP -not- watch?
Where is the “heart break” knut sick post? :(
lorien1973 on April 16, 2007 at 11:32 AM
Uh, AP watches the OC?
That’s the only shocking thing. Rest of y’all lighten up, for Pete’s sake.
SouthernDem on April 16, 2007 at 11:49 AM
ha ha! i called it. i don’t even watch that stupid show.
jummy on April 16, 2007 at 11:55 AM
the lady doth protest too much, me thinks ;)
lorien1973 on April 16, 2007 at 12:03 PM
Dude, that’s not funny.
Oh, wait, was the guy who was getting kneed a liberal? Because that would be hilarious.
John from WuzzaDem on April 16, 2007 at 12:04 PM
Well sort of. But I thought that liberal males had their testicals remove so that they wouldn’t eligible for military service. Me bad…..
Wuptdo on April 16, 2007 at 12:20 PM
The ‘kneed in the balls’ video was *humorous* for what it represented (paying taxes); even a hip chick such as myself can see that.
How you can equate the two videos is lost on me –
They don’t call me ‘right wing gun nut’ for nothing.
….oh, and Shia is hawt.
Tru2my2 on April 16, 2007 at 12:37 PM
OMG – VA tech! 22 shot dead!
I vote to pull this thread….
Tru2my2 on April 16, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Eerily prophetic, AP. Maybe you should shelve any nuke posts for a while.
RedWinged Blackbird on April 16, 2007 at 12:50 PM
I second the vote to pull this thread. Going to pick up our boy, just to relieve some pressure. His teacher’s son is a freshman at VT and I know she’s freaking out. Phone lines are hot all over here because everyone either has a kid at VT or knows one who’s at VT.
naliaka on April 16, 2007 at 1:14 PM
I thought it was hiarious without even knowing it was a parody. And now that I have seen the clip from OC its even better. Also, thats a great song I just bought it off of itunes. It’s called ‘Hide and Seek’ by Imogen Heap.
sirmyth on April 16, 2007 at 1:18 PM
I can remember when SNL was *funny*; this… not so much.
Appreciate the effort though AP.
dalewalt on April 16, 2007 at 1:25 PM
Well, I thought the clip was halfway funny, and I kinda had a feeling that anyone who saw what they were riffing would have been highly amused. I give it a thumbs up AP.
OHNOES on April 16, 2007 at 1:34 PM
Kinda reminded me of the end to the Penn & Teller movie.
Iblis on April 16, 2007 at 1:35 PM
Fox News is now reporting at least 32 dead a VA Tech. Says FBI is investigating “possibility” of terrorism.
greggish on April 16, 2007 at 1:56 PM
It’s a tragedy.
With its own thread and everything. We get it – you think the video is bad and inappropriate.
Slublog on April 16, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Sorry for being such a wet noodle, but I just don’t find anything funny about young people shooting each other in those dream like mood bits. If Columbine hasn’t hammered it home, then maybe 4/16 will make it clear why media should not be glorifying or romanticising these kind of senseless youth death fantasies in any way.
greggish on April 16, 2007 at 2:02 PM
I get it. My posts appear to annoy you. Too bad.
greggish on April 16, 2007 at 2:05 PM
Using any tragedy to promote a personal agenda is more unseemly than this video.
Slublog on April 16, 2007 at 2:07 PM
Oh, I see. Because I have a point of view and am commenting on a breaking news story, I’m the only one here on this political site that’s “promoting a personal agenda”. I think, for whatever reason, you just have a problem with me. That’s fine.
greggish on April 16, 2007 at 2:12 PM
No, I have a problem with anyone who uses a tragedy like this one to share their opinions on gun control, media violence, video games, etc.
But go on, keep on using dead bodies as a soapbox.
Slublog on April 16, 2007 at 2:15 PM
Positively brilliant.
Thanks, Allah.
The Ugly American on April 16, 2007 at 2:46 PM
What the hell was funny about that? Especially in light of the Virgina Tech shooting today. Really, really poor taste.
John on April 16, 2007 at 4:46 PM
Is that why SNL is so stupid these days? You have to be a fan of the OC to “get it”? Hey, maybe that’s how we can get Marsden off RedEye!… if a writing position opens up on SNL.
RightWinged on April 16, 2007 at 5:28 PM
I believe allahpundit posted this before he/she heard about the shootings at virgina tech.However in light of that allahpundit you should take this off ASAP. It really is in bad taste now and youdont want anynewcomers to hotair to see this as their first blog.
Kevin43 on April 16, 2007 at 5:40 PM
I am amazed that you have kept this up today…
Take it down as soon as possible.
It only makes Hot Air look bad…
Babs on April 16, 2007 at 9:05 PM
yeesh! so airplane wasn’t funny because airplanes sometimes crash in real life?
jummy on April 16, 2007 at 10:53 AM
Hey jummy,this airplane crashed in REAL LIFE. What exactly, do you find so funny now???
I am absolutely disgusted that Allah hasn’t pulled this post… Does Michelle acknowledge this? This video was a disgust before the events today. Now, it is really a profanity.
Hopefully,when I wake up tomorrow, this video will have been pulled from Hot Air. And, q
Babs on April 16, 2007 at 9:30 PM
No. It’s just not funny given what has happened today. Humor is subjective. I found it funny when I watched it on Saturday but now it makes me queasy.
Please pull it.
