The digital short segment of the show is one of my favorite aspects of SNL of all time. We live in a time where watching clips online is so easy. It's no wonder why digital shorts have become so popular so quickly. It was a genius idea to create a segment that was just a quick sketch that was already filmed and then aired live during the show. One of my favorite digital shorts of all time is the first one ever created. It's called "Lazy Sunday" and it was an internet phenomenon within days that it aired. For those that haven't seen it, it stars Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell. The video is basically the two of them on their way to see the movie The Chronicles of Narnia on a Sunday afternoon. The clip is shown almost like a music video because both of them are singing rap style lyrics to everything that they are doing. The fact that they are grown men on a journey to see The Chronicles of Narnia had me in stitches laughing the first time that I saw it. The guys rap about everything from google maps to buying cupcakes for the movie. It's one of the most creative comedy clips that I've ever seen. The link is below for anyone that wants to watch it.
