Last time Timberlake was on SNL, we got “Mother Lover“, a sequel to the original “Dick in a Box” sketch. Andy Samberg and Timberlake were spotted earlier this week filming a scene with Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson, pretty much guaranteeing us a third video of these characters who are apparently stuck in the 1990′s.
Joining in on the fun this time was the episode’s musical guest, Lady Gaga. While I didn’t find it quite as funny as the previous two installments, after multiple viewings it has definitely grown on me. I present you with, 3-Way (The Golden Rule).
(please note: this video is sure to be going up and down for a while, I will continue to replace it as often as I can for viewers outside of the United States)
This is the first time Timberlake has returned to host since we got the infamous “Dick In A Box” sketch that caused such a stir. I really didn’t know if they would try to do a follow-up, but try they did, and they succeeded, albeit in a different way. For whatever reason, Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake seem to work together amazingly well, we’re just all lucky enough to enjoy the results.
Doing a direct follow-up probably would have been a disaster, but using the same characters in a totally different situation that is just as disturbing as the original turned out to be the way to go. It seems the two have been in jail for five months, and they get out just in time for Mother’s Day and realize they haven’t gotten any gifts for them. Well, they come up with a plan that is best left to the video.
Justin Timberlake returned for his fourth time hosting Saturday Night Live, and, yes, the “Dick In A Box” guys came back for this third video.
