The Lonely Island read the two large screens surrounding the outdoorClusterfestmain stage Friday night.
In the center of said stage was a larger screen that also read The Lonely Island.
In all three versions, there was a palm tree.
/ Is the show over?
/ Will we be back?
/ Hang on a second / Look over here / Were looking at you / Isnt that annoying?
They never did a three-man sort of stand-up act.
Who were they going to be?
What was clear was that the intro song was going to be their one real joke about performing.
Schaffer: Andy, you said something backstage that made me laugh.
Taccone: It was about Clusterfest.
Samberg: I said, Clusterfest?
Schaffer: We just started laughing.
Samberg: I guess I just have a demented mind.
Taccone: Youre twisted, bro.
Schaffer: Yeah, your perspective is a little bit skewed.
Samberg: Well, Im a lampooner, you know.
But what can I say, Im a breakfast defector.
Schaffer: Yeah, you make a lot of room for fourth meal.
Samberg: You gotta live mas.
Yup, very dumb!
I loved it so freaking much.
And then they played some songs.
Of course, the crowd exploded whenever the guest actually was in attendance.
Of course theyd do puppeteer parody, said a friend after the show.
It was the most Lonely Island moment of the show.
Youre retiring and you want me to be CEO?
Taccone was already dressed like Aaron Burr.
It was a coincidence!
It was a very dumb bit that appropriately undercut their least nuanced big song.
All the completely new bits worked just as well, and there were tons of them.
