The Spoofs

I was actually sad that it took The Hour until June to talk about The Lonely Island's SNL digital short "Lazy Sunday," but when George mentioned it tonight, I was cheering from the sofa. However, although he showed a spoof, from two soldiers, I would now like to direct you to the BEST reaction to "Lazy Sunday." For those of you have already seen this from my own blog, I apologize. Here are illimms productions and the digital short "We Drink Tea" (aka the UK Lazy Sunday), endorsed by the dudes who wrote the SNL skit. Watch the video here. I realize this isn't directly news related, but I had to give a 'shout out' if you will, to these guys. I promise it will make you laugh. Outloud even. Plus, make you feel better that your not getting to see Radiohead live.
*Edit: clips do contain swearing.

Oh great, now all night I will be singing "tea, mofo, tea, mofo, tea". That is hilarious!
Still bummed about not seeing Radiohead though.

I know, it takes a while before it leaves your head :) And I'm still bummed about not seeing Radiohead too...I'll have to watch the clip again ;)

Allison you are the Queen of the links. Good post. I am watching The Hour right now and just saw the piece that inspired your post. If I go to bed right after the show I'll be lucky to get 5 hours sleep before catching the train to TO. I look forward to your next post. Heck I look forward to my next post too. Well for that matter everyones next post. I am proud of all the Stroumboulopouli Sisters!

Allison said...

I accept the title. Have a safe trip Barbara! :) We look forward to the posting afterwards.

Hey Link Queen, I saw the Hour after watching your link as well, and agree that the one you posted is way funnier!

Allison said...

Yeah! I'm converting more people...my cause is growing. I should become a promoter...except, I'm not as good as you are with the Cons ;)

Hello!
I'm sorry, I haven't gone and seen your link yet, it sounds hilarious. I'm looking forward to it!
But while I know you guys are talking about the quality of humour in the videos, I'd have to say, that "Lazy Ramadi" is really awesome, just because it takes such a controversial subject, and unlike other shows, has the participants make fun of it. That's why I love it.
I'll check out the video ASAP! Promise!

Aw shucks, Allison - you are a promoter extraordinaire, while I'm just an obsessive. The Constantines deserve obsession, though.

Allison said...

Hilary, I hope you enjoy the video. I just realized I should have warned ppl about the swearing before I posted. Sorry...
Barbara, promoter...obsessive. Tomato, To-ma-to ( I realize that only really works when you speak it, but you get the gist).
