To celebrate the release of
The Lonely Island's debut album "
Incredibad," we've compiled this list of the top ten
Saturday Night Live Digital Shorts. For almost four years, Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer have brought us these videos, and they've managed to keep us laughing and humming their tunes weeks after they've aired. We hope this countdown makes you feel just as
SNL-y in your digital shorts as when you first saw the videos, and if not, that's okay too. We're glad you're here anyway.
Of course, the rule is that they must have been prefaced by the "An SNL Digital Short" card to qualify. We know how much you love "
Virgania Horsen's Hot Air Balloon Rides," but it's not happening. Sorry.

(S34E15) Bradley Cooper, who are you and what are you doing on
Saturday Night Live? I IMDb'd him before watching the episode and despite having seen many of his projects, I still couldn't attach him to anything. Is he best known for something? Or is
He's Just Not That Into You his big break-out? Well, regardless, his performance in this episode wasn't mind-blowing, but at least it wasn't cringe-worthy either (exceptions can be considered for the Christian Bale sketch). The writers didn't give him anything terribly exciting and in the end we were left with a pretty forgettable episode. Here are some video highlights.

(S34E13) I don't have much of an opinion on Rosario Dawson. I've seen a few of her movies, like
Clerks 2 and
Death Proof, but instead of blowing my mind with every film, she's left me in a state of indifference. I'm sure there are plenty of gentlemen here who strongly differ. Sorry, boys.
That said, Dawson did a pretty good job hosting this episode. The writing wasn't particularly exciting, but Dawson's delivery was smooth and very professional. Just like Neil Patrick Harris from the previous week, her enthusiasm was very evident and greatly appreciated. Here are some video highlights from the night.

(S34E10) The majority of this episode was pretty good. John Malkovich didn't contain the same contagious energy as other hosts this season, like Anne Hathaway or Tim McGraw, but infused the episode with his own... Malkovich-ness. Anyone that has seen his work knows what I'm talking about. I especially liked it when he introduced the musical guest(s), because it was hilariously obvious that he's never heard of any of these guys. Speaking of the musical guests, does T.I. really have a song about waving Gucci scarves in the air instead of dancing at the club? I feel like that's more of a surefire way to get shot at a club than carrying a gun in your sweatpants.

Now this is just plain ol' funny. Seems that during the Scarlett Johansson & Death
Cab for Cutie episode of Saturday Night Live from a few weeks ago, someone turned on a camera to catch
this
during a Death Cab rehearsal.
It's a bit dark, but you can clearly make out Jorma Taccone (of The Lonely Island) dancing topless while Ben Gibbard sings "Soul Meets
Body." Jorma, in the middle of the picture to the right, along with Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer, all joined
SNL at the same time. Jorma and Akiva are writers for the show now. The best part of the video is
when it pans over to Bill Hader standing off to the side. He's just shaking his head in disapproval. It's
hilarious. Not sure who our mystery cameraman is, but if you're reading this - please post more of this stuff to the
net.
[Thanks to Katie for bringing this to our attention.]
