The Lonely Island: Where the Fools Live

Tickets, money, passports! We're all taking a trip to The Lonely Island. Actually, you can leave the luggage at home. The Lonely Island isn't a destination, it's the greatest pretend band ever made.

Adam Samberg was just getting started with his digital shorts on SNL. When he started producing mock music videos (the one with a rapping Natalie Portman being my fave) it was only a matter of time before he took it to the next level.

When Dick In A Box hit, it was a musical smash that everybody was talking about. Even your dad. The whole world started putting their no-no's in a box, then Adam and Justin Timberlake won a Grammy. Most media outlets couldn't even day the name of the song due to censorship reasons. Seriously. Funny.

Following that success, Sandberg and company Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone took it to the studio.

They produce not just music, but comedic films, shorts, parodies and videos. The slickly produced Jizz In My Pants is a high-quality clip that rivals anything you'll find on you tube and trumps whatever MTV has to offer (when they actually play music).

Now the release of their first full-length feature album, Incredibad, has already hit no.1 on iTunes.

Is there any stopping these guys? For the sake of inappropriate laughter everywhere, let's hope not.
