I've always enjoyed Andy Samberg and "The Lonely Island" from "The Bu'" to "Jizz In My Pants". However, the first time I saw the video for the new single off their new album I was hit with that feeling of "sameness". That feeling you get when something you've enjoyed seems to have run its course and become formulaic(here's to you Family Guy, Simpsons, X-Files etc., etc.). I truly want to hate the video and the song for all that it is but something in me can't stop smiling when I hear T-Pain sing "Poseidon!" in that digitally manipulated voice I hate so much. At the same time this video represents how I feel about most of the popular rap music nowadays. This song really seems no more comical then "Walk it Out" or anything Nelly's ever made. Perhaps that's the cleverness behind it that my consciousness doesn't want to accept or believe. Perhaps that's why I can't stop watching it or laughing at it. I leave it up for you to decide:
