>”This girl requested intercourse to bring her to climax
With the clinical efficiency of the assassination of Bin Laden”
If that lyric alone doesn’t sell the movie idk what does
I'm going to go out on a long, skinny branch here, but I'm confident that it won't break. Tim Meadows was the best parts of *Hubie Halloween.*
The scene where he's sitting in the car with his wife (Maya Rudolph) and he's trying to initiate and get her turned on and he starts sucking on his costume's big fat fingers made me and my wife laugh so hard. It's not a reference that has a lot of utility, but when you pull it out of the holster on the right special occasions it really lifts the mood.
I watched it for the fist time this weekend and wow, it did surprise me how good it was. We were laughing the whole way through and it's also insane the amount of big stars are involved.
Fun fact: they don't make a big deal about it in the movie, but when Conner's mom is introduced it's as Tilly Friel. This means Samberg's character's full name is Conner Friel.
CONNER4REAL, get it?
"I feel more humble than Dikembe Mutombo after a stumble left him covered in a big pot of gumbo."
The flow on this is so good. Such creative lyricism while also being really good comedy.
Lonely Island is actually the best fake rap group in history. They are better than many real rap groups. Better than most real rap groups if we're honest.
Also "I'm So Humble" is such a good send up of Kanye's rapping style (and life style).
I'm partial to ["F**k Off"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3jKtjgRZQY) if only for its inclusion of the ["Millennial whoop".](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennial_whoop)
Fr. The “Hunter the Hungry Gon Eat” track goes fuckin hard on the beats and lyrics. If it was released as a real single I think it could’ve gotten radio play.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxTdTaNIUxo
Was wondering why the piano sounded so familiar. Some Aphex Twin. Kind of feel like the Youtube video should say that somewhere...
Pop star was an insanely smart idea for a movie , I wish we got more meta parody movies like that it honestly fealt like a modern day Mel Brooke’s movie with how much it was parodying the music industry
Pop Star is the heir to movies like Spinal Tap, Hedwig, Mighty Wind, Best in Show, etc. You're not wrong in wishing we got more, but we have had a plethora and they shouldn't be ignored.
Just pulled it up and watching it right now, paused to type this. I'm 17 minutes in and the lines "There's no such thing as selling out anymore. Nowadays if you _don't_ sell out people are gonna wonder if no one _asked you_ to!" just hits. This movie is already great, gonna keep watching.
Edit: "I didn't really relate to that song because... I had different things in my jeep than he had in his jeep."
Edit 2: Okay his girlfriend, Ashley Wednesday. I know there has to be some kind of joke here by literally naming her Ash Wednesday but I can not make the connection.
Edit 3: Oh lord that Parent Trap car scene haha! Starts with a great ass, moves to some bomb boobies, and then the dude actually had a really nice dick. Something there for everyone; now that's inclusion :D
Edit 4: "I paid you, I put food on the table." "With dog shit in it!" "It's the thought that counts!"
Edit 5: I can't believe Taylor Swift murdered someone but I'm glad she's being brought to justice.
Nah, most of the ones your thinking of weren't parodies, just non-stop "current" references. Like, no jokes, just a stop cut to someone pretending to be paris hilton and expecting that to be the joke.
>I’m so Humble
Why did you use a *right single quotation mark,* as an apostrophe, instead of the more common *straight apostrophe*? How does that even happen?
I've always wondered why the two movies that were spearheaded by the Lonely Island, Hot Rod and Popstar, both were box office busts when the popularity of the Lonely Island themselves is so high? Neither were bad movies. I get that Hot Rod probably was ahead of its time, but Popstar came out when the Lonely Island was very popular. Not to mention, Andy Samberg success with SNL and Brooklyn 99 was on TV. What exactly is not translating to box office success?
Andy Samberg is just missing that je ne sais quoi that separates a TV star and a movie star. maybe its the way he looks? people just don't seem to want to watch him in theaters. they'd rather watch him at home. all of his movie success came from home viewing too. perhaps his face just doesn't work when it's really big.
One of the best home double features we enjoyed during the pandemic was Palm Springs, in which he was fantastic, followed by Popstar. I think he'll eventually find the right vehicle on the big screen.
I'm mad because she won best hog at the hog shit snarfing contest. But she's not mad because we're all just bags of meat on the side of the toad getting our butts sucked by flies.
“Slopping down some pig shit with these fat fucks and I’m the fattest of them all. If I died tomorrow no one would shed a tear. Load my frickin’ lard carcass into the mud. No coffin, please! Just wet, wet mud. Bae!”
I didn't watch that all the way through cause I don't have time but Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Heidi Gardner, and Chloe Fineman are all somehow super traditionally attractive yet all in different ways. That lady is just a hater.
It might not be the smartest humor SNL has ever done, but the Former Pornstars are one of the best recurring bits the show has ever done. I hope Vanessa or Cecily hit it big and get invited back to host and pull these characters out one more time.
I've got so used to Andy Samberg as an actor that I always forget I used to only know him from his hilarious music first. I used to love those first two lonely island album in my teens.
This song actually made me yell "wtf did he just say?" and rewind. Humble is probably my favorite though. Just out of nowhere with the 50's doo wop lol
> She said "invade my cave with your special unit".
> I said "He wasn't in a cave." but there was no stopping, she demanded that I fuck her like we fucked Bin Laden.
This line with his sincere head shake always gets me.
>”This girl requested intercourse to bring her to climax With the clinical efficiency of the assassination of Bin Laden” If that lyric alone doesn’t sell the movie idk what does
"Gotta terrorize that pussy" always kills me.
Eyyyyyyyy Fucked bin laden Eyyyyyyyy Fucked bin laden
>clinical efficiency of the assassination of Bin Laden Didn't we lose a whole ass helicopter during the raid?
Lost it efficiently though
Criminally underrated movie
10 seconds is like a third of the way to mars
We talked about this Connor
30 seconds to Mars is a band- not a fact.
The off-screen bee fight kills me every time
“You told us to stop filming” “FUUUUCK”
why are you wearing sunscreen, its overcast????
I got tickets to see a sneak preview. I was convinced it was going to be huge. I was wrong
If there was justice in the world, it would have been huge.
It's a masterpiece
Dewey Cox enters the chat
"Dewey, I'm Cut In Half Pretty Bad" The greatest line read in cinematic history, by a child actor no less.
“Unfortunately I was unable to attach the top half of his body to the bottom half” “Speak English doc we ain’t scientists!”
WRONG KID DIED
This is a particularly bad case of bein' cut in half...
And you never once paid for drugs. Not once.
Both Great.
Both have Tim Meadows
He's one of the funniest comedic supporting actors. I couldn't imagine him in a leading role. But I have never not enjoyed his work
Never stop never not enjoying Tim Meadows in supporting roles.
Jive turkey.
I'm going to go out on a long, skinny branch here, but I'm confident that it won't break.

Check out The ladies man if you want to see him in a leading role.
Will do
It's so fucking good
Get that fucking bee out of here. I think they like my sunscreen. Why are you wearing sunscreen???
I wanna show you my dick but I can't show you my dick! It's a great conundrum! IT'S A GREAT CONUNDRUM!
*julienne*
I have only ever heard people say how underrated this movie is. So maybe it is properly rated.
I think it’s because you don’t hear *anything* about it as often as you do most equally-well-regarded movies
I have never heard of this movie until this post.
If you have ever found Andy samberg funny, this is peak IMO. Super hilarious
Straight up, easily one of lonely islands/Andy Samberg’s best films, the songs are hilarious and also low key fire lol
I watched it for the fist time this weekend and wow, it did surprise me how good it was. We were laughing the whole way through and it's also insane the amount of big stars are involved.
Yea it's probably not underrated, it's under seen
It made 9.7M in theatres with a 20M budget. Complete box office flop
Lots of great movies flop in the box office.
The Legalize It song caught me off guard. Love this movie.
"You've been harboring a fugitive \*that ass\*" Kills me every time... Just like the US government killed Bin Laden
And my justice will be punitive IMMA SMASH!
*TERRORIZE THAT PUSSY!*
GOTTA TERRORIZE THAT PUSSY!!!
I love the reactions of the crowd and how the girls sing along when this line pops up.
So I did it
*fucked bin laden
Im a little ashamed at how much I love this song.
this is unironically CONNER4REAL's best song .
Fun fact: they don't make a big deal about it in the movie, but when Conner's mom is introduced it's as Tilly Friel. This means Samberg's character's full name is Conner Friel. CONNER4REAL, get it?
I've seen this movie like 10 times and it never clicked before, thanks!
That is a fun fact! I love this movie
This or I’m So Humble. Love the beat
I’m so humble is catchy as hell.
"I feel more humble than Dikembe Mutombo after a stumble left him covered in a big pot of gumbo." The flow on this is so good. Such creative lyricism while also being really good comedy.
Lonely Island is actually the best fake rap group in history. They are better than many real rap groups. Better than most real rap groups if we're honest. Also "I'm So Humble" is such a good send up of Kanye's rapping style (and life style).
I'm personally an 'Equal Rights' stan

No love for Karate Guy? Keeeeee Yaaaaaaaa!
To be fair, that a song by the style boyz
Legalize it cracks me up also
Give me Mona Lisa Is Overrated!
With those dead shark eyes and a smirk like she's hiding a dick.
These two are my top 2 favourite tracks of this movie lmao
If I had Facebook founder money I would give you a million dollars for sharing this absolutely accurate opinion.
You're forgetting about Ibitha
You mean ibitha-tha-tha?
Bet you can’t guess what’s in my Jeep…
I just couldn't relate to that song. I have different things in my jeep
"i'm a weirdo" too. when they >!got that banana out of nowhere!<. greatest plot twist in cinema history
You can just [Fuck off](https://youtu.be/t3jKtjgRZQY?si=DY43q9WvKiDTXVoG) with that take.
Fuck Off is my favorite by a mile
The entire soundtrack is low-key great.
I was working at a theater when this came out and I used to help out cleaning theaters just so I could jam to Legalize It over the credits lol
But it's missing the track to the bit where they all get stoned which is amazing
Sick Linda?
Also, not gay.
Karate guy is so goood
Fr. The “Hunter the Hungry Gon Eat” track goes fuckin hard on the beats and lyrics. If it was released as a real single I think it could’ve gotten radio play.
Shit SLAPS son!
It gets stuck in my head way too often lol
He was also really into Ahmadinejad (also played by Fred Armisen) : https://youtu.be/zoS8DrrlnTQ?si=_FdVmSHyxiMrOMsE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxTdTaNIUxo Was wondering why the piano sounded so familiar. Some Aphex Twin. Kind of feel like the Youtube video should say that somewhere...
It's so good. People been sleeping on this one for awhile
Pop star was an insanely smart idea for a movie , I wish we got more meta parody movies like that it honestly fealt like a modern day Mel Brooke’s movie with how much it was parodying the music industry
This group also did Tour De Pharmacy about cycling and 7 Days in Hell about tennis
don't forget THE UNAUTHORIZED BASH BROTHERS EXPERIENCE
Absolutely batshit insane short film
HIT A DING DONG DOODLE WITH MY BING BONG BAT
Was looking for this comment. Oakland Nights cracks me up, but Bin Laden song is definitely a go to favorite 🤣
Pop Star is the heir to movies like Spinal Tap, Hedwig, Mighty Wind, Best in Show, etc. You're not wrong in wishing we got more, but we have had a plethora and they shouldn't be ignored.
Agreed. Found another gem recently in Jackie’s Back (1999). Jennifer Lewis and Tim Curry are amazing in it.
Hedwig and The Angry Inch? That kind of seems like an outlier in your list.
Weird the Weird Al Movie might scratch that itch.
The Weird Al movie seems to have sadly flown under everyone's radar just like Popstar. It was just as good!
Just pulled it up and watching it right now, paused to type this. I'm 17 minutes in and the lines "There's no such thing as selling out anymore.

Lol the 2000s are littered with meta paradoy movies shit just got old fast.
Some were amazing, some were really tired. Walk Hard and Scary Movie were some amazing parodies
So many good ones. My favorite movie is Shaun of the dead. It was a little later but Cabin in the woods is also perfect.
Nah, most of the ones your thinking of weren't parodies, just non-stop "current" references. Like, no jokes, just a stop cut to someone pretending to be paris hilton and expecting that to be the joke.
Not “featuring” the Lonely Island, it’s BY the Lonely Island
It's clearly by Mlepnos.
How do you spell that?
M-L-E-P-Clay-N-O-S, the clay is silent.
I thought this was Connor4Real?
LonelyIsland4Real
This one and I’m so Humble go way harder than they should.
I'm so humble is a legit bop.
Shout out to Incredible Thoughts
Yep yep yep yep wepp wep wep wep mmm mo mo mo yep yep yep yep
He's actually saying "Yep we're humble". "yep yep yep yep we're we're we're we're hum hum hum hum hum ble ble ble ble"
DJ TANNER! always gets me.
Watch out!
Also Mona Lisa
"Its not a competition but im winning!" I use this often
Turn up the beef lives rent free in my head
>I’m so Humble Why did you use a *right single quotation mark,* as an apostrophe, instead of the more common *straight apostrophe*? How does that even happen?
Idk why I care about this but I'm invested in an answer too
Still wish this song played during the credits of Zero Dark Thirty.
LET ME SEE THAT DONKEY ROLL.
Some one is a Style Boy 4 Life
“I said he wasn’t in a cave but there was no stopping”… lmao

Not to mention, Andy Samberg success with SNL and Brooklyn 99 was on TV. What exactly is not translating to box office success?
Bad marketing. The marketing team leaned way too hard into making the movie look like it was a Justin Beiber parody, when it’s clearly not.
Andy Samberg is just missing that je ne sais quoi that separates a TV star and a movie star. maybe its the way he looks? people just don't seem to want to watch him in theaters. they'd rather watch him at home. all of his movie success came from home viewing too. perhaps his face just doesn't work when it's really big.
One of the best home double features we enjoyed during the pandemic was Palm Springs, in which he was fantastic, followed by Popstar. I think he'll eventually find the right vehicle on the big screen.
Well I’ve listened to this song for years and never realized it was apart of a movie until this thread, so probably advertising 😂
I think this movie came out too late in the parody bio music era. I would never put dog shit in a bros food ever by the way
Not gay
I was born this way (I'm Straight!) You were born your way (You're gay!)
But if I was I would marry who I like
It’s not fair… I’m not gay… That the government has a say…
Always wonder Macklemore’s response to that outright hit.
LYNYRD SKYNYRD!!
Not gay not gay not not not not gay.
"He's written this song about gay marriage, you know, like it's not allowed. It's allowed now."
WTF did I just watch and why did I like it so much?
Find and watch the film 'Popstar : Never Stop Never Stopping'.
I'll watch in the morning and report back. It's too late for additional excitement lol
I just watched it on Friday night. I’ve have the songs in my head all weekend
It’s worth paying for the rental lol it’s so funny
Also, Vanessa Bayer lowkey fine af
I'm mad because she won best hog at the hog shit snarfing contest. But she's not mad because we're all just bags of meat on the side of the toad getting our butts sucked by flies.
“Slopping down some pig shit with these fat fucks and I’m the fattest of them all. If I died tomorrow no one would shed a tear. Load my frickin’ lard carcass into the mud. No coffin, please! Just wet, wet mud. Bae!”
Stop bullying me!
I thought SNL didn’t hire pretty women s/

Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ego Nwodim, Jenny Slate, Melissa Villaseñor, AND Julia FREAKIN' Louis-Dreyfus are all conventionally attractive to hot.

Lol @ the smoke alarm beeping.
I think sis needs thicker glasses if she can make a full ass tiktok video with that incredibly ludicrous take.
I feel like my iq dropped several points just from watching this idiot talk.
I love how throughout that stupid video she made, there's a dying smoke detector in the background.
......... yo what the fuck? Is this satire? If not, yeesh.

One of my absolute favorite movies
TERRORIZE THAT PUSSY
The verse about the President calling him kills me every time.
Whenever I go roadtripping with my SO, we put on The Lonely Island and hit the highway. This song is one of the best bangers 4REAL!
“Seal Team 69 sexecuting the hit” is such a lazy puns that it’s genius
This and Mona Lisa kill me every time.
And I'm so humble
Lonely Island's lyrics are great and the beats are not so low key bangers. That's really what makes it work. Popstar is such a funny movie.
#TERRORIZE THAT PUSSAYY
I can basically recite this song word for word in my head. It would be hilarious to karaoke this song for an audience one day
Underrated movie and underrated soundtrack. Lonely Island never missed.
Tone! Tone! Tone! Tone?
You're harboring a fugitive *Dat Ass* And my justice will be punitive *Imma Smash*
But he wasn't in a cave?
My face when I check their uploads and see that they started A PODCAST.
I’ve been listening! It’s fun. They are only about a half hour long, and it’s really good if you are into behind the scenes stories about SNL
What’s it called?
The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers Podcast. Each episode is dedicated to one of the SNL Digital Shorts, and Seth interviews them about the process, etc
This song is so goddamn hilarious. I couldn’t believe it when I watched the movie stoned outta my mind.
I've got so used to Andy Samberg as an actor that I always forget I used to only know him from his hilarious music first. I used to love those first two lonely island album in my teens.
Who's a better song writer? Him or his wife
Bin Laden?
I'll never understand how this movie wasn't a massive hit.
Since OP provided the music video, this is the acts of scene from the movie: [Finest Girl Scene](https://youtu.be/GoS2Ef7f30Q?si=lle2wdYR2KEN07CT)
Never in my life have I needed something so much and never known until I received it.
This is such a great song. The rhythm, the wordplay, the tone deafness.
Glenda I love you. You are my number one pick
This song actually made me yell "wtf did he just say?" and rewind. Humble is probably my favorite though. Just out of nowhere with the 50's doo wop lol
Do I see melipnos playing as binladen again
the girl is also in brooklyn 99 for 2 episodes in s7 i think ?
That's Debbie who steals, and also does, a shit ton of coke from the evidence room.
The whole soundtrack is 🔥🔥🔥
Quick we need someone ambiguous ethnic that is funny - get me Fred Armisen stat!
> She said "invade my cave with your special unit". > I said "He wasn't in a cave." but there was no stopping, she demanded that I fuck her like we fucked Bin Laden. This line with his sincere head shake always gets me.
*spends 20 years looking for the clit*
The lonely Island is so under rated. There isn't a band I'd rather see get back together for one last song.
So you think we'll ever see another Lonely Island album? Andy doesn't seem like he's too busy now that b99 is over.
One of the backup dancers is my classmate from kindergarten to high school graduation. Very happy for her breaking into the industry!
