The Lonely Island Makes A 'Huge-Ass Announcement' (VIDEO)

The Lonely Island's empire continues to stretch far and wide. Ever since Lorne Michaels took note of their unique online sketches and snatched up Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone to join "Saturday Night Live," their output has been inescapable: "Lazy Sunday," "Dick in a Box," "Like A Boss," and "I'm On A Boat" continue to be anthemic spot-on parodies/homages of boastful-yet-oblivious hip-hop. The group succeeds at sharp comedy in addition to well-produced music (they've collaborated with Justin Timberlake, T-Pain and Rihanna, among others).

Last year they released their first album, "Incredibad," which was mostly comprised of songs that originally debuted on "SNL." But yesterday, they announced via their website that they have plans to release a new album in 2011. No word the title of the album or any further details, but it's safe to say that we're looking forward to seeing what the trio does next.

Check out their Western-style promo that announces the album!

I wonder if Samberg is going to be taking part. Could just be a misleading promo.

IMO there are way too many talking heads but repeating what the prior talking head has said,because everyone dosen't want to be wrong. Not let's discuss #23 in upstate when a Dem took the seat from a far right Rep and a middle of the road Rep. Next howabout the primary in NH in o8 when they called that election for Obama, and Hillary won. How about 2000 and the MSM calling Gore Mr. President. I don't happen to believe in polls, there's way too much money floating around to make a poll go for whomever is paying the bill.

Anyone think of the possibility that the MSM want us to stay home so they will be right? If they know how the races are going to come out, why should we vote at all? Let's just let the pollers and MSM pick the candidates they want and swear them in. After all it makes 011 more fun for them, because the govt. wheels will completely stop until the new President is elected. Let's hope that we voters are smarter then the media or pollsters.

I don't even think of it as much of a spoof. I think HuffPo has mischaracterized it here. Mostly, they're just ridiculously funny songs.
