Dick in a Box or Space Olympics?

When they're good, Andy Samberg's Lonely Island digital shorts on Saturday Night Live can be the only reason worth watching.

At least Seth Myers' Weekend Update is still good. Funniest part of last night's SNL for me was his "Really?!?" segment regarding the whole Michael Phelps/pot smoking non-controversy. Take a look:
