Anyone who has seen at least one SNL Digital Short has a favorite SNL Digital Short.
That's the brilliance of the short-form video format pioneered for Saturday Night Live by The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer) in the mid aughts. Each and every brief clip is creatively crafted yet utterly bizarre, perfect for appealing to all sorts of comedic sensibilities ... provided those comedic sensibilities appreciate a good dick joke.
Some folks' favorite digital short is the nautical banger "I'm On a Boat." For others, early phenomenon "Lazy Sunday" takes the crown. When then-SNL head writer Seth Meyers put together a March Madness-style tournament of the shorts, The Lonely Island's peers selected "Motherlover" as the best of all time. While this online debate about the best SNL Digital Short is fun (and takes up space on the internet that would otherwise go to something unsavory) it also leaves out some pretty important voices: The Lonely Island themselves.
Thankfully Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer have recently begun delving into their digital works alongside Meyers on the aptly-named "The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast." Every week, the four friends make their way through the SNL Digital Short canon in chronological order to discuss the creation of the work and their thoughts all these years later. As the podcast goes along (and the quad creates an increasingly complex database of memetic references involving actor Jack Quaid's eating habits and the 2008 action film Righteous Kill), it feels as though it's all building to the ultimate reveal of which short is The Lonely Island's true favorite.
