    Popstar was such a great time. Really a sad thing that it didn't do as well as it should have.

    I think it was the Jizz in My Pants video that brought them to all my friends attention then finally I got onboard a while after. You can actually see them improving throughout their career, especially Samberg. A few years ago, critics said he couldn't be a leading man, now he's doing it with great success in Brooklyn 99 and hopefully his new film. It's not only a literal rise to stardom, it's also a rise in skill.

    thanks for the info, i always thought "the loney island" was just something that came from SNL, now, knowing all this, REALLY helps seal the POPSTAR movie as one of the GREATEST,funniest,and actually sentimental movies ive ever watch(and ive watched WAY over a 1,000 movies in my lifetime,way over). I actually had some "feels" when the crew finally did that last song together

  • @WalterMootz

    Popstar was fantastic!!! It's the Spinal Tap of this generation. I say that in all sincerity. it takes the pop genre and skewers all of its quirks and oddities. Fantastic stuff. If you enjoy the Lonely Island, you should go see it ASAP.

    • @TVJunkie93

    Man I was 5 years old when they released their first album I have faint memories of d*** in a box memes being thrown around on 9gag, as unaware of the context as I was, it was really confusing to me. I definitely remember listening to "I just had sex" I think I was in middle school when it went viral. Now it's 2020 and listening to them brings back memories! Good times.
