The 7 Greatest Viral Andy Samberg Videos

While we have the utmost faith in the young comedians future, we'd prefer, for the moment, to look back on the fantastic bits of comedy he's given us in the past. Which is why we've compiled his seven (in honor of the seven seasons he spent on the show) best SNL clips to have ever spread across the Internet faster than Paula Deen could polish off a stick of butter.

1. Dick in a Box

If you celebrated Halloween in 2007, chances are you encountered some dude walking around with a box duct taped to his junk. Or maybe you were that guy. Whatever the case, we're sure the moment was enjoyable. And we're also sure the moment never would have occurred had Andy Samberg not teamed up with Justin Timberlake to deliver this Emmy-winning (really, that happened) short.

3. I'm on a Boat

A year after "Jizz in My Pants" added new slang to your grandmother's vocabulary, Samberg created the greatest rap parody since Weird Al Yankovich's "Amish Paradise." With auto tune aficionado T-Pain on board for the ride, Samberg solidified his place as one of America's most consistently funny comedians. The hilarious, profanity laced clip garnered the guy a Grammy nomination (Best Rap/Sung Collaboration), and also went platinum.

5. Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals

Believe it or not, Samberg was involved in viral videos that weren't created by The Lonely Island. Better yet: a few of them were equally entertaining! In this 2008 clip, the comedian gives an impressive Mark Wahlberg impersonation, asking a goat and other farm animals innocuous questions while maintaining the actor's signature "tough guy from Boston" voice. Today, if you type in "Mark Wahlberg" into the YouTube search bar, the first suggested result that comes up is "talks to animals." So yeah, we'd say the video got some traction.

Even if you've never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones, you've surely heard someone mention all the gratuitous sex and nakedness in the HBO series. Well, according to a 2010 "behind the scenes" SNL sketch, the excessive nudity comes courtesy of 13-year-old Adam Friedberg. After detailing some of the show's more provocative scenes, the on-set creative consultant points out that "all of that aired on television right after Rango." Game of Thrones fans were self-aware enough to lap this tasty parody up, and help it go viral.

7. Boombox

In 2010, Samberg and Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas created the greatest song ever written about old people "f---ing like rabbits," and magical boomboxes. On second thought, that's probably the only song ever written about old folks having sex and electronics that can change the world. But hey, that's perfectly okay.
