"Everything is Awesome", Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, and Palm Springs In early 2014, the group collaborated to write "Everything Is Awesome," a song featured in The Lego Movie, with Shawn Patterson, Joshua Bartholomew, and Lisa Harriton. The song, performed by Tegan and Sara, also features in The Lonely Island. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 87th Academy Awards. In 2014, the troupe signed a deal with Fox to develop serial comedy programming for digital platforms and were listed on New Media Rockstars Top 100 YouTube Channels, ranked at #70. Later that year, Universal Studios acquired a pitch from the trio for a second feature film, which was co-produced by Judd Apatow. Schaffer and Taccone co-directed the film, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, which was released on June 3, 2016 along with a corresponding soundtrack album. The trio promoted the film by airing a Digital Short for the track "Finest Girl (Bin Laden Song)" during the Saturday Night Live season 41 finale.

The song features characters from various movies who didn't get nominated sing about being snubbed by the academy. It was not immediately clear if the group was actually asked by The academy to perform or if this was part of the joke.

Several of their featured guests appeared at the festival, including Chris Parnell and Michael Bolton. In 2020, the group produced romantic comedy film Palm Springs starring Samberg and Cristin Milioti.
