History YMMV / TheLonelyIsland

** It's mostly underscored thanks to the ComedicSociopathy overarching theme, but it's hard not to at least feel a little bad for the various minor characters in "Threw It On The Ground" who offer the protagonist various things only to [[UngratefulBastard have them figuratively thrown back in their faces when he throws them on the ground]]. Such as the poor sap who's just handing out energy drinks as part of his job and the hot dog stand clerk who probably just wanted to show his appreciation for a frequent visitor. Perhaps most of all is the kid who tries to offer a slice of birthday cake only for him to not only drop the slice unceremoniously on the ground (hell, the way it's framed, it's like ''the cake itself'' is sad to be left as a soiled mess on the concrete), but he throws ''[[BirthdayPartyGoesWrong the rest of the cake too]]''.

* TearJerker: While utterly ''hilarious'', the song "Great Day" is about a guy who lost his job, his family have left him and haven't spoken to him, is living in a ''filthy'' house, and has gone on a cocaine bender and subsequently gone insane; or alternatively, he succumbed to his coke addiction and he lost his job and his family.

* ParodyDisplacement: "Like a Boss" by Slim Thug, 2 million [=YouTube=] views. "Like a Boss" by The Lonely Island, 82 million.

** The protagonist of "Jizz In My Pants" doing the titular action when it turns out "[[spoiler:Bruce Willis was dead at the end of ''[[Film/TheSixthSense Sixth Sense]]''," implying [[ILoveTheDead a certain kink]]]].

* MisaimedFandom: "Spring Break Anthem" is touted by some fans as some sort of "ultimate bisexual anthem" when the point of the song is contrasting all the degeneracy and debauchery that straight college students engage while in spring break, with homosexual marriage, and how the latter is hypocritically criticized while the first is seen as a staple of American culture. In fact, the song outright ''condemns'' typical spring break behavior. Part of this is ValuesDissonance, as at the time the song came out, gay marriage was still struggling its way to legality and NoBisexuals was still the norm--at the time, it would be understood that the parts about getting women drunk and the parts about wedding arrangements were not meant to represent the attitudes of a single person.

** More like a "worked in retail" bonus, but it's actually a gigantic pain in the neck when a customer at a grocery or retail store tries to pay by check instead of cash or card. As if the cashier in "Jizzed In My Pants" didn't already have enough reason to dislike the weirdo who visibly orgasmed right there in front of her, then repeatedly blamed her while coming up with rambling excuses for it.

* HilariousInHindsight: "Threw It on the Ground" involves throwing a PHONE on the ground, because [[MemeticMutation MY DAD'S NOT A PHONE]]! Unfortunately, players of ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' have to call their always unseen dad to save, and many say that the dad IS a phone. [[NightmareFuel Poor Ness]].

* FaceOfTheBand: Andy Samberg and ''who else''? Though even disregarding Samberg's successful acting career, neither Jorma Taccone or Akiva Schaffer have done much acting outside of Lonely Island projects, primarily working as writers or directors. Jorma has had a few voice roles in movies like ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''.

** Both "Classy Skits". One has Falcor raping Atreyu and the other has a man masturbating in front of his friends.

In fact, the song outright ''condemns'' typical spring break behavior.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: In "Natalie's Rap 2.0," a spiteful Creator/NataliePortman demands Creator/BeckBennett at gunpoint to call the prequels good, then say something nice about Jar Jar Binks. Over the next few years, prequel defenders would gain prominence among ''Star Wars'' fandoms, to the extent of Creator/{{Disney}} commissioning more projects set in that trilogy's era, then [[Creator/AhmedBest Jar Jar's actor]] would earn a crowd-pleasing guest spot in ''Series/TheMandalorian'' Chapter 20.

* SignatureSong: "Like a Boss," first and foremost. "I'm On a Boat", "Jizz in My Pants," and "I Just Had Sex" are more or less tie for second place, given that each turned out to be a FountainOfMemes. And for the little ones, "[[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie Everything Is Awesome]]".

** "Throw It on the Ground" has the protagonist celebrating a kid's birthday...by ''throwing his birthday cake to the ground''.
--> ''I threw the rest of the cake too! \\

** "Jack Sparrow", "Motherlover", "Jizz in My Pants", "Threw It on the Ground", "Space Olympics", "Semicolon", "YOLO", "We Are a Crowd", and "I'm on a Boat". Don't even try to deny it.

* LoveToHate: The VillainProtagonist of "Threw It On The Ground", an InsufferableImbecile who throws things on the ground for the most bullheaded of reasons (such as when he's offered a free hot dog and he accuses the hot dog cart attendant of pitying him, or not only refusing a kid's birthday cake slice but also throwing the rest of the cake too) is a very memorable and hilarious character...and it's all the more satisfying when Creator/ElijahWood and Creator/RyanReynolds give him his just desserts by tasing him in the ass for throwing their dinner table on the ground.

** "Lazy Sunday" dates itself very specifically to when ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' was in theaters, and mentions quizzes in movie theaters (which have mostly been abandoned), [=MapQuest=] and the defunct Yahoo! Maps as major competitors to Google Maps, as well as Creator/RyanGosling and Creator/RachelMcAdams' relationship. That said, it is SO specific? This may be on purpose.
