The Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia Rap Video

Do yourself a favour: hit play below (safe for work) and watch this Saturday Night Live Digital short film. Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell rap about their lazy sunday, munching on cupcakes and seeing Chronicles of Narnia. The term I saw for it is "nerdcore". It is so damned funny, with shoutouts to Google Maps, The Notebook, and lines like "I'm Ghost like Swayze". I've watched it 4 times while writing this and it keeps cracking me up. Taste the awesome.



Incidentally Andy Samberg was brought onto Saturday Night Live after finding success with TheLonelyIsland.com, where Andy, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone produced and broadcasting their sketches and videos. Akiva and Jorma were hired for SNL as writers while Andy was hired as an on-screen player. Akive directed Lazy Sunday, Jorma did the music, and all three wrote it with Parnell.

I haven't seen any SNL bit get this much attention since the Christopher Walken "Cowbell" skit. Who couldn't use some more cowbell?
