NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Universal Republic) - Dubbed by many critics as the world's 'funniest comedy team for the internet generation,' the comedic collaborative of Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer will release Incredibad, their first comedy CD/DVD on February 10, 2009.
The innovative trio, commonly known as The Lonely Island, made online and television history with some of the web's most popular satirical sketches.
Among the breakout gems to be included on Incredibad is the Emmy winning YouTube sensation "D*** In a Box," featuring superstar Justin Timberlake, which snagged a record-breaking 28 million views, and the more recent follow-up "J**z In My Pants," which had 15 million views in its first month on YouTube.
