If you havent yet seen "D–k in a Box" (pictured, featuring digital clip master Andy Samberg and guest host Justin Timberlake), the genius new digital short from this past weekend’s Saturday Night Live, please click here for the unbleeped version. (Clip is very NSFW; children and others with more delicate sensibilities ought to pass.) Everything about this clip is amazing: the dead-on send-up of Color Me Badd (down to the goatees, ridiculous suits and even the way the last syllables of the chorus go increasingly up), Timberlake hanging from a basketball hoop with a box on his crotch, and the simple, yet necessary instructions ("One, cut a hole in the box. Two, put your junk in the box."). What a way for JT to cap off what has been a fantastic year for him. Can SNL just focus on digital shorts from now on? We’re in the aughts now; kill the "live."

That was so disgustingly funny. oh man. We recorded that episode, and I wouldn’t let my parents watch that. Heck, I probably shouldn’t have been watching it myself. Oh Lord, that was funny.
I haven’t laughed so hard at SNL in a loooong time. I was dying watching this, I laughed so hard I cried, it was so funny. I’m glad it’s up on YouTube, it certainly bears repeat viewing.
The Barry Gibb Talk Show was funny too, I love the theme song.
I have watched this video five times and am still laughing. This will definitely be on my New Year’s party playlist!
Much as I hate to take Alec Baldwin down a peg (he’s still my pick for Entertainer of the Year, though, although Sacha Baron Cohen probably has him beat), the Timberlake show was probably the best SNL of 2006. JT was hilarious all the way thru, in the D–k In a Box short, as a lip-challenged Target clerk, and busting a move in a Cup O’ Soup suit.
Boy when I saw it Saturday, I really thought it was c–k in a box. Can I still pretend that’s what it is?
I agree with Cruz, Kill the Live! This is what the people want. I want Portman and Timberlake to do one of these together. lol
I thought Justin was fantastic on SNL. I hardly watch the show anymore but happened to tune in on Saturday. D*ck in a Box was HILARIOUS. So was Justin as the rapping cup of soup. And the Gibb brothers skit. And the Target skit. All very funny. Good stuff. I’ve been sort of ambivalent toward Justin, but he earned my respect on Saturday.
I agree wholeheartedly with everyone. This episode was hilarious. My sister and I were hoping he’d do a sequel to the “Bring it on down to Omeletteville” sketch and we were so excited when he did the “Homelessville” sketch. It was a great way to start the show.
JT’s SNL was the funniest of 06 so far. JT and Alec Baldwin are my favorites on SNL. They are so versatile that they always find the best skits for them.
I also thought it was “C–k in a Box”, and that sounds funnier. But I still laughed both times I saw it!
Also loved the sketch where JT auditioned to be an elf (in drag, with Keenan Thompson as his mom) — does anyone know if that was also a repeat character from when he was on before?
I still watch Justin’s first SNL episode on a very fuzzy VHS tape, so I was extremely excited to see him host on Saturday. Every sketch he was in was hysterical. I think people forget that Justin got his start on a variety show, (Mickey Mouse Club, anyone?) so he feels comfortable in this type of comedic acting.
That is truly the only gift I am giving this year, so if it’s not appropriate, you’re not getting a present. Sorry, Mom.
I agree this episode was the funniest snl this year. I laughed till I just about peed my pants over the d— in the box film. I also really loved the alvin and the chipmunks opening the homelessville skit and the barry gibb talk show. But now that I’m thinking about it every skit Timberlake was in was good. But the d— in a box is just hilarious. I loved his perfomance also of what goes around. Timberlake should really do a comedy. He’s a great comedic performer.
this digital short was in fact funny, but if you go back and look at them all it is a bunch of junk punctuated by the occasional lazy sunday hit. so making it just a bunch of digital shorts is in fact a terrible idea. actually now that i think about it the show would be exactly the same…a bunch of terrible with a small beacon of funny here and there.
I never knew that JT did anything other than sing. And that target episode was a riot. Does the Target company mind being poked fun at on national TV? Maybe it is good advertising for them. The latest I have heard is that JT and Nicole Richie are the newest couple. Hopefully JT will do another episode of SNL.
Normally, I have no use for Justin Timberlake. But, he is great on SNL. It is the best of the year after Alec Baldwin. I loved C__k in a Box. With the digital shorts, it allows the next sketch to be shorter and less painful. Keenan played the stage step-mom bit before with Julia Stiles. The Chipmonks were great as well.
My favorite SNL since Justin did it the first time! Too bad he didn’t pull out his Jessica Simpson impersonation again this time. I was wondering how they were going to fit the Omeletteville sketch in again. And Jimmy Fallon almost made it through the Barry Gibb sketch without laughing, as soon as I mentioned that to my sister, he kind of broke down. So close, Jimmy!
I’ve been watching it and humming it since Saturday night – it’s hysterical (and mad catchy)! Also, it doesn’t just reference Color Me Badd – also Bell Biv Devoe, R Kelly and, really, all the cheesetastic R&B acts of the early 90’s. My favorite part is when Maya Rudolph looks in the box and mouths, “Thank you.” So funny!
Maybe it would’ve been funny if it wasn’t trying to parody music videos from the early 90s. At this rate I guess we can expect a skit from the SNL hacks about something that happened this year in say, uhm, 2022.
Can we just make it official, and require SNL to have one episode of each season hosted by Justin Timberlake, and another by Alec Baldwin? Honestly, Justin was freaking fantastic – that was one of the best and most complete SNL’s I’ve ever seen…..reserve a slot for him and Alec every season (each alternating the “Christmas” show, just so we could see more Schweatty Balls, too?) and SNL would be about 25% improved.
That was the funniest bit so far this season. Loved it!
I am not a Justin fan, but his hosting of SNL is always hilarious. This was the best show in ages (except for Alec Baldwin’s) and I think that it was even more consistently funny than Alec’s. Justin has a lot of talent for comedy and impersonations (Robin Gibb–just great)and he should focus on that talent and actually singing (like the second song that he performed) instead of the other stuff that he has been doing lately.
best song ever! JT is hilarious!
I think Justin should be a regular cast member. I only laugh out loud when he hosts.
Hilarious! And with that goatee, doesn’t Justin look like Charlie on “Lost”?
I cannot stand Justin Timberfake, but I laughed so hard I cried. That was hilarious! I agree with Sam–he should ditch “singing” and stick with comedy. It is his true calling.
i thought it was C**k IN A BOX-
This is the second time that Justin put in a great performance on SNL. In recent years SNL hasn’t been that funny but once in a while they get it right. One of those times was with Lazy Sunday, when Natalie Portman hosted and again on Saturday night. I thought Justin was great and so was the digital short.
Too f—ing funny. I’d be a really happy boy if Justin gave me that as his “gift” for Xmas…
Oh, my gosh, I was already in love with Justin Timberlake, but am in it even more after this SNL stint. And this song is really catchy, like another poster said. I have watched the digital short so many times since Sat. night. And Justin’s performance of What Goes Around, the best song on his album, was so passionate and angry that I couldn’t help but think of Britney. lol. LOVED this video and I must admit, the early 90’s hair didn’t take away anything from Justin’s hotness. The chapped lips and stoner wig at Target–now that was a little unflattering. lol.
