RANKED: The 13 best songs by The Lonely Island
Universal
The Lonely Island is a music-slash-comedy group best known for songs like "D**k in a Box" and "I'm on a Boat," but they actually created short, funny videos online that pre-dated YouTube, essentially pioneering the internet as we know it today.
Comedians Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone met growing up in Berkeley, California, and later formed The Lonely Island, which has produced an endless stream of hit songs and millions of views on YouTube.
The trio can jump from R&B to hip hop to ska and get everyone from Justin Timberlake to Michael Bolton to join in on the fun. They're responsible for YouTube's first big hit ("Lazy Sunday"), and you can thank them for some of the best "Saturday Night Live" sketches of the last 10 years.
While they no longer work for "SNL," The Lonely Island lives on. Their new movie, "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping," a mockumentary about the rise and fall of a singer named Conner4Real (Samberg), will be out in theaters on June 3.
