Step one: write a hilarious mock up of a Color Me Badd style sex romp slow jam. Step two: get nominated for an Emmy. Step three: win the damn thing? That could be the case for Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, and their Saturday Night Live collaborators behind the digital short "Dick in a Box." Today the song garnered an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. (And who even knew there was such an Emmy category? Thought that was only Oscar material.) If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on the tune winning, as its competition comes from much lesser known songs from Scrubs, MADtv, and Family Guy.
Oh, and speaking of boxes, the big one above contains the uncensored version of the digital short, in case you've been living in a cave for the past year and have never seen it.

I'm sure the show would be tape delayed, so they could bleep "dick" out. Which coincidentally is also what a high-priced prostitute will do if you pay her enough money. |

[...] We told you that it got nominated; now we can tell you it won. Yes, Justin Timberlake’s, Andy Samberg’s and et. al.’s hilarious “Dick in a Box,” made famous on a Saturday Night Live digital short, captured the award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics at this weekend’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Too bad Timberlake wasn’t on hand; maybe he would’ve exhorted SNL to feature more digital shorts in the same way he exhorted MTV to play more videos at the VMAs. (Laudable intentions, Justin, but do you really think the channel is going to drop The Hills anytime soon?) Because I doubt many people would deny those Samberg snippets are the best things on SNL right now. [...] |
I hope they do a live performance!
