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
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.
i love these guyz and i loved popstar wish it did better because it was amazing i love that since high school they're still together and that they go to red carpets together each of them with their wives
Also, this is an obscure detail but Jorma Taccone's little brother is the singer in this band ua-cam.com/users/electricguest .. Jorma directs some of their music videos.
im kinda new to all the lonely island stuff, I didn't know they did all these things and were nominated and won so many awards, I thought they were just a buncha friends having fun
Dude, them releasing a movie called "fuck buddies" and they're all virgins would be irony. The movie coming out when you're on a cruise is just bad timing.
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.
Would be cool to see a history of the guys from Workaholics, their inspiration was The Lonely Island when they were UA-camrs and their most recent news is the movie they're doing with Seth Rogan
Gitika Jha They said it in one of their interviews, that they had seen The Lonely Island videos on UA-cam, thats why they started their UA-cam channel and used to do skits and songs before getting noticed by Comedy Central for Workaholics
Popstar was such a great time. Really a sad thing that it didn't do as well as it should have.
I'm sure it will find a second life on Netflix at some point.
Daniel Campbell Is a cult classic already.
Never stop never stopping
I like how this is full of 'it didn't work out or it had mixed reviews' yet they are where they are now :D
A true internet success story.

Ryan Hollinger Jizz in my pants was a big success! ; )
Bitch I love your work
brooklyn nine-nine is awesome
kyriakosVegeta NAH
i'm so glad they exist, they have always lifted my spirits.
If I’m having a bad day, all I have to do is watch pretty much anything by the Lonely Island. I crack up every single time! 😂😂 Love these guys!
Dude hot rod is one of my favorite movies hands down lol
apolloblvckful agreed

Unfortunately I still have not seen it, likely won't be able to until it's out on DVD.
TVJunkie have you seen it yet?
i love these guyz and i loved popstar wish it did better because it was amazing i love that since high school they're still together and that they go to red carpets together each of them with their wives
Popstar is so underrated. That album killed, and that movie was so clever. I wish they would also tour in Los Angeles. I
i love the lonely island too much. frankly its disturbing
Its all I listened to for a 3 month span in high school.
erik cyree same here! Haha 😂
your research game is on point
+Karam Dabagh thanks! I'm taking my research to the next level for my next vid, A giant piece on China...
I had to stop this repeatedly to check if my doorbell was ringing.
I loved Popstar
Funniest film of the year IMO.
Jared Chin A Foeng I remember that I thought it was an actual film and I hated this generation even more
VERY well put together, man - I'd love to see more of these!
No shit andy samberg is one of my all time idols
I don't think they were in the right place at the right time. They rather moved to the right place all the time ;)
Been following them since Nintendo Cartoon Hour. Still in disbelief at how popular they've become.
I freaking love these guys. Andy is the reason I'm in NYC now
Just wanna marry andy samberg......
it's crazy how much they form the foundation of current pop culture. amazing
Hot Rod is deadly and Popstar is pure gold.
I'm about to take a five hour flight.... loading up Hot Rod!
I feel so proud of them :')
wow this is so thorough. I love it!
3 way climax, bestfriends forever, what a pleasure to have lost our virginity's together!
Andy, Jorm and Kiv you saved my race. Your reward is one wish then I'll go back to space. :)
What they did was incredible and bad and that’s why your name is Incredibad
Just like Hot Rod, Popstar is an ignored comedy masterpiece.
I’ve never laughed as hard in my life as with the huge crab in Land of The Lost
And popstar was awesome
Funniest film of this year, the more I think about it.
Can't tell if it's just bad green screen or that guys head is a weird shape
Both.
touchè
+Ben Clayton that's... that's not how touché works
"Japan" is one of the best songs that never got a music video.
😂
Popstar was hilarious
So I've heard!
“your water is watery” is the best lyric of all time
Awesome video, I had no idea they were around in Hollywood for so long before Lazy Sunday.
Popstar was 8/10, 7.3/10 realistically. It's kind of the first of its genre of movies, and I really hope they make a second installment
fake documentaries are not a new genre even when you made this comment
Popstar is awesome! It's hilarious and the songs are specfuckintacular!
Just looking back to 10ish y/o me watching the pilot of Awesometown over and over again searching the internet for other episodes
I just saw Hotrod for the first time yesterday, and had no clue it had mixed reviews. It's hilarious!
Also, this is an obscure detail but Jorma Taccone's little brother is the singer in this band ua-cam.com/users/electricguest .. Jorma directs some of their music videos.
I LOVE Popstar! Great video on the group!😂❤
I really love those guys.
Hotrod might be the movie i have rewatched the most in my life
The story is reaaaally nice, I just JIZZ IN MY PANTS
Omg baby Jorma.... I'm in love (:
Stork Patrol is my jam
Hot Rod was a secret release in the UK when I discovered, it I loved it!!!
Hot Rod and Popstar are classics.
Best song for me was the one with Lady Gaga (AND Justin Timberlake lest we forget.)
Golden Rule
Great video bro, keep it up!
Will do!
Did you even mention Cuckoo? that show is hilarious.
Now Bash Brothers is their masterpiece
I Fucking love Popstar such a good movie.
Well done sir! Subscribed, looking forward to more!
Thank you!
When will they release their next album?
First clip i saw from Hot Rod was the intro stunt, couldnt breath because i laughed so hard
suspicious video length. still loving the vid ☺
nailed it man. I love lonely isladn, hot rod and this humor.
Thanks!
what's the intro music starting at 00:03 from?
The Lonely Island's "Boombox". I took the first couple of seconds and looped it.
TVJunkie Ah thx, I thought it sounds familiar ;)
Hot Rod is the movie all internet/youtube directors tried to make.
They wrote Everything is Awesome?? I had no idea.
Been a fan since the Stork Patrol/Awesometown/Bing Bong Bros. days. I followed the Narnia Rap Battle too. I've always loved these guys :)
Where can i get those movies?
Great Video!
im kinda new to all the lonely island stuff, I didn't know they did all these things and were nominated and won so many awards, I thought they were just a buncha friends having fun
How was the PB&J?
It was decent, but unfortunately I was out of Nutella to kick it up a notch.
my man
Damn. The Lonely Island wasn’t on my radar until 2010.
I just came to say; Who rocks the party more than Ardy?
SNL Digital Shorts did exist prior to The Lonely Island. They were originally debuted by Adam McKay
anyone know a place where i can watch pop star?
Dang they've been doing it for a long time! How'd they come up with all that new material??!?!?
The movie is still not released here :, (
Love your presentation! Learned a lot, have a sub! 😉
Great video
Thank you!
WOWWWWWWWWWW I had no idea there was so much!
this was great!
Thank you!
Does anybody know what happend to Chester?
Great Question! He makes an appearance in Popstar, which was nice to see, but other then that I do not know...
He's still a great friend to all of them. Andy's making a netflix movie with Chester directing it.
Good job on the video. I actually learned some stuff.
wow
I did not for a lil moment thought they had SO MUCH history before "Jizz in my pants"
Talk about rising practically from zero
Very informative well done, but what's with the 80's back drop?
What cruise did you go on?
The one with decent entertainment, eh food, and a 70s disco party.
Totally agree. HOT ROD and MACGRUBER are amazing films. My type of humour. :)
You obviously haven't seen Stork Patrol from them, as they are skateboarding in the beginning of it
Fucking had me at Skateboarding. Very informative doc.
Hot Rod to this day is my favorite movie
Awesome video
Much appreciated!
Hey I love guitar hero
SNL "head honcho" ... Nice one.
This trio is no less Harry Potter
Hot Rod is amazing.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine! 💖💖💖

hot rod is one of the best movies ever it's supposed to be like it is, that's the whole point..
The lonely island is the best! 🤩
no mention for 7 days in hell?
+Alaa Hallaq one of several things I cut to being the video down to 10 minutes. I love 7 days in hell. Funniest sports parody in the past decade.
I agree with his hot rod opinion
I still think "No Homo" and "No Homo (Outro)" are their zeniths.
still waiting for 'this week on gotham' tfw.
Eventually, lots of projects to get to first!
Would be cool to see a history of the guys from Workaholics, their inspiration was The Lonely Island when they were UA-camrs and their most recent news is the movie they're doing with Seth Rogan
Sounds like a good idea, I'll put that one on the list.
TVJunkie Awesome, thanks
Workaholics was inspired by the lonely island? Where did they mention that?
Gitika Jha They said it in one of their interviews, that they had seen The Lonely Island videos on UA-cam, thats why they started their UA-cam channel and used to do skits and songs before getting noticed by Comedy Central for Workaholics
Joshifer Everlark Could you be so kind and post a link? Thanks
10:00 Ad Revenue FTW!!
i adore them. too good, really. :D i think Dick in a Box was probably the first thing i ever saw of them, and I've been addicted ever since
