"'''Jizz in My Pants'''" is an [[SNL Digital Shorts|SNL Digital Short]] which aired on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' on December 6, 2008. It serves as the music video for the second single off [[The Lonely Island]]'s debut album, ''[[Incredibad]]''.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/12/j-in-my-pants-t.html |title='J In My Pants': The resurgence of Jamie-Lynn Sigler |accessdate=2008-12-15 |last=Pastorek |first=Whitney |date=December 8, 2008 |publisher=[[Entertainment Weekly]] }}</ref> The video stars The Lonely Island members [[Andy Samberg]], [[Jorma Taccone]] and briefly, [[Akiva Schaffer]], and also features guest appearances by [[Molly Sims]], [[Justin Timberlake]], and [[Jamie-Lynn Sigler]].

The video's availability on YouTube is due to it being published by The Lonely Island instead of Saturday Night Live. SNL had previously posted its own videos on YouTube, but removed its channel when [[Hulu.com]] was created.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://newteevee.com/2008/12/08/j-in-my-pants-has-snl-back-on-youtube-sort-of/ |title=J— in My Pants has SNL Back On YouTube.

==Summary==
The video opens with Samberg singing in a night club. As he is invited to [[Molly Sims]]' apartment, he [[Premature ejaculation|prematurely ejaculates]], or "jizz[es] in [his] pants", in the hallway. Taccone then ejaculates prematurely while conversing with a check-out girl, [[Jamie-Lynn Sigler]], in a grocery store. [[Justin Timberlake]] appears as a janitor. Samberg then exits a cinématheque, when the discovery of a missed telephone call from a girl causes him to prematurely ejaculate. In another scene, Taccone is seen driving his car, listening to the radio, when a song begins to play that reminds him of a girl, and causes him to "jizz in [his] pants" yet again. Samberg and Taccone then sing about how they easily "jizz in [their] pants" from stimuli such as an alarm clock, opening a window, the truth about [[Bruce Willis]]'s character (Dr. Malcolm Crowe) dying at the end of ''[[The Sixth Sense]]'', and ingesting a grape. Next, Samberg and Taccone explain that whenever they are adjacent to women, they ejaculate prematurely, which, they say, necessitates constant wearing of [[condom]]s. Akiva Schaffer can be seen in the background at various times as the disc jockey.<ref name="youtube"> {{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4 |title=Jizz In My Pants |accessdate=2008-12-30 |work=[[The Lonely Island]] |publisher=[[YouTube]] }}</ref>

==Molly Sims==
Samberg needed an attractive woman to appear in the video,<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/marc_malkin/b72230_molly_sims_jazzed_andy_sambergs_jizz.html |title=Molly Sims Jazzed for Andy Samberg's "Jizz" |accessdate=2008-12-15 |last=Malkin |first=Mark |date=December 8, 2008 |work=[[E! Online]] }}</ref> so he called [[Molly Sims]] directly, without going through her agent, and asked if she would appear in the video. She said yes, and was told to show up for filming the next day. They sent her a recording of the song, and told her to keep an open mind. Sims agreed to appear in part because she was a fan of Samberg's "[[Dick in a Box]]".<ref>{{cite news | first=Anna | last=Dimond | coauthors= |authorlink= | title=Molly Sims Was Hot to Help Samberg in Latest Faux Music Vid | date=December 9, 2008 | publisher=[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]] | url =http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/tvguide/391277_tvgif9.html | accessdate = 2008-12-15 }}</ref>

==Reception==
A number of commentators enjoyed "Jizz in My Pants". Jennifer Maerz of [[SF Weekly]] felt the video was "funny in a totally moronic way." Describing it as "pure electro-trash" with "douchebag clothes, attitudes, and beats".<ref> {{cite web|url=http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2008/12/electro-stupidity_jizzing_with.php |title=Electro-Stupidity: Jizzing with SNL |accessdate=2008-12-15 |last=Maerz |first=Jennifer |date=December 12, 2008 |work=[[SF Weekly]] }}</ref> Mickey O'Connor of [[TV Guide]] liked the song's "clever lyrics" which "brilliantly satirize the pompous chill of '80s synth rock.'"<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/News/Mega-CSI-Lost-1000705.aspx |title=Mega Buzz on CSI, Lost, Big Bang, CSI: NY, Gossip & More! |accessdate=2008-12-15 |last=O'Connor |first=Mickey |date=December 9, 2008 |work=[[TV Guide]] }}</ref> [[The New York Observer]] writer Christopher Rosen described the video as "awesomely catchy", in contrast to the rest of the SNL episode which he felt was not very good.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.observer.com/2008/o2/i-late-night-jimmy-fallon-i-goes-online |title=Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Goes Online; Will It Get Viral? |accessdate=2008-12-15 |last=Rosen |first=Christopher |date=December 8, 2008 |work=[[The New York Observer]] }}</ref>

"Jizz in My Pants'" reception was not all positive, however. Jerry Portwood of [[New York Press]] compared the video unfavorably to the work of [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]. The video did not satisfy him "beyond a few chuckles." Portwood preferred Yankovic's ability to parody current events and pop culture, dissecting "what was actually manipulative and mind-numbing about popular music and the market as a whole." He feels Samberg, in contrast, sticks to "safe and, ultimately, ineffective parody."<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.nypress.com/blog-3025-samberg-co-dont-compare-to-weird-al-as-song-satirists.html |title=Samberg & Co.
