For the December 17, 2005 show, he and Chris Parnell starred in the Digital Short "Lazy Sunday", a nerdcore hip hop song performed by two Manhattanites on a quest to see the film The Chronicles of Narnia. The short quickly became an Internet phenomenon and garnered Samberg significant media and public attention, as did "Dick in a Box", a duet with Justin Timberlake that won a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.[4] Samberg has found success with the song "Jizz in My Pants", which has garnered over 60 million views on YouTube.[5] His comedy troupe's recent collaboration with T-Pain, the "I'm on a Boat" music video, has had over 32 million views on YouTube after debuting on February 7, 2009. His latest digital short, "Motherlover" (also featuring Timberlake), was released on May 10, 2009 (to commemorate Mother's Day) and is a sequel to "Dick in a Box" SNL video.
