Where to begin? This may be simultaneously one of the most bizarre and hilarious digital shorts in recent memory. Hilarious use of guest host….check. Fantastically silly robot costumes….check. Original Transformers intro music….check. Nudity…check. Brian…Austin…Green…..CHECK!
My only complaint, if any, was expecting Optimus to have the real Optimus voice. They were able to get him for Letterman’s top ten recently, why not this?
At any rate, watch and enjoy as Optimus “transforms” like never before.

Completing what was arguably an impossible task, Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg have released a follow up to “Dick in a box” that is nothing short of genius. The choice of Susan Sarandon as one of the mothers was perfect casting (although it might have just been a coincidence that she was available). I didn’t recognize Patricia Clarkson as the other mother at first and think they could have used a different actress for better laughs (Sigourney Weaver perhaps?
None-the-less, Justin Timberlake continues to be one of the most reliable “non-cast” members for consistent laughs. Could a Andy/Justin movie with these faux-Color-Me-Bad characters be in the works? I hope so. If we had to sit through “Night at the Roxbury” and “Ladies Man”, these two could at least sing for an hour and a half and be midly entertaining.

All I hear about lately is how funny “I’m on a boat” is and that the Lonely Island Boys have done it again. Now granted, I can’t wait for Incredibad (their new album) to come out, but the only thing that impressed my about “I’m on a boat” was the production values (and how nicely they used T-pain
But I’d like to argue for a different “boat” parody that ironically involved a former SNL cast member. I speak of “Boats n Hoes”. The hard core music video from Brennan (Will Ferrell) and Dale (John C. Reily) of Prestige International. While it only appeared briefly in “Step Brothers”, the lyrics alone blow “I’m on a boat” out of the water (pun intended). Granted, there is no T-Pain or killer production values, but they were first and arguably still the best. In the words of the great Levar Burton (Reading Rainbow), “But don’t take my word for it…”
