The Lonely Island
After talking about the various web tv series I remembered one that became very popular but started out at a grassroots level. The Lonely Island features different comedic skits by Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg. All three received many fans, followers, and much support through their skits and various short movies. One of which was a web series entitled "The Bu" which was a drama based in the California city of Malibu. Their shorts became so popular that many were featured on SNL. Popular shorts include "Jizz in my pants," "Like a boss," "Dick in a box," and "i'm on a boat." They have re-vamped their website and moved it to blogspot.com but i found it interesting that you still have access to their old site exactly as it was. I like the new aspect of having their info in blogform because, as is intended by any basic blog site, there is more participation and constant updates.

ReplyDeleteHaha, didn't see the delete button first time around... I read your post and searched through the site. Some great classics in there, I had a good time watching them.
ReplyDeleteI have heard a lot of people say that Andy Sandberg along with all the Lonely Island stuff saved SNL and also everything they did with the election
ReplyDeleteI really can't believe how popular these guys became with this group. I mean, they had videos featured on MTV and an album available on iTunes. Pretty impressive considering how it all started.
