"FacebookPinterest\n\nNot since 'Wayne's World' has Saturday Night Live produced a shaggygoofball fantasy like the career of Andy Samberg. Imagine You hook up with a couple of your juniorhighschool buddies and form a comedy troupe. You make a few nobudget short lms and give them away for free on the Web. You and your crew\u2014known collectively as the Lonely Island and colloquially as \"the Dudes\"\u2014are basically just amusing yourselves, acting on the kind of dumb ideas that seem, at four o'clock in the morning, like comedy gold. But get this People in decisionmaking positions actually watch these movies. They watch the twisted cartoons starring beloved Nintendogame characters, and the OC spoofs, and the clip in which a man who is naked from the waist down raps about wearing pants, and suddenly you and the Dudes have an agent and a couple of pilots in development. (\"We have nothing but love for the Internet,\" Samberg says, but points out that he did standup, too, and that all the Dudes paid their dues in the offline comedy world.)\n\nYou and your partners write some jokes for MTV Movie Awards host Jimmy Fallon, who hooks you all up with an SNL audition. You become a featured player; your friends join the writing staff. And then, one night, midway through your rst season on the show, you all write a menacing House of Pain-esque rap song about nerdy, utterly menacefree pursuits like eating gourmet cupcakes and looking up directions on MapQuest. A couple of days later, a video is made, and a couple of days after that, it airs on the show. And because it is perhaps the funniest, most inspired, most whatthefuck-ative thing stodgy old SNL has put before the viewing public since Tracy Morgan hung up his Astronaut Jones suit, Lazy Sunday is an instant sensation, and the next day somebody uploads it to YouTube, and before NBC can draft a ceaseanddesist letter, every single person in America\u2014more or less\u2014has watched it and emailed the link to all his friends. And faster than you can say Star Wars kid, you are a popculture icon for the viralvideo age. Oh, and did we mention Kirsten Dunst\n\nSamberg, 28, spent his summer hiatus in Vancouver, shooting Hot Rod, a feature lm he put together with his Lonely Island partners, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. Samberg plays a dweeby Evel Knievel type who dreams of jumping the Snake River on a moped. In a world where Will Ferrell plus NASCAR equals crazy box office, this sounds just dumb enough to make him a movie star, but he's not pulling a Caruso just yet. He'll be back in Studio 8H this fall, making the prospect of a Tina Fey-less SNL seem a little less bleak. And when the show's over, you'll nd him at the bar, hewing to Saturday Night Live tradition by engaging in rampant substance abuse, albeit ironically.\n\n\"I take sarcastic J\u00E4germeister shots with Akiva,\" Samberg says. \"Just to weird everybody out. Because we're clearly very nerdy, nebbishylooking dudes. And we're like, 'J\u00E4ger!' Everyone's like, 'Seriously J\u00E4ger' And we're like, 'Yeah! J\u00E4ger!' \"\n\nSo we have to ask Andy Samberg, how many sarcastic J\u00E4ger shots can you take in a night \"I think one is probably the roof.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
