What is the Best Look in the World about?
Hey everybody, welcome to the Lonely Island Seth Meyers podcast. And I want to start by saying with Here We Go, I reached out to Jost to get a voice note.
Here I go. Excuse me.
Here I go. And Jost basically said, I'm doing something. Can I get it to you tomorrow? And I said, yes, that is now eight days ago. I have actually written to him a couple more times being like, any chance? And radio silence. But just so you know, that is probably forthcoming at some point. We'll just run it whenever he gets it to us. Whenever it gets in.
What are some memorable sketches discussed?
A couple of things I forgot to mention last week, which would have been a more opportune time to read some comments about Here I Go. Someone wrote in because obviously there was a great dog in Here I Go. Someone wrote in, was Frisbee ever in the running to be the dog? Now, obviously that listener knows the longstanding feud between you, Andy, and my Italian greyhound, Frisbee.
Yeah.
What would you have thought about Frisbee being the dog in Here I Go?
I mean, why would I ruin the video? I mean, the audience would have recoiled at seeing Frisbee. Because you don't think she's a pretty dog.
Do you think the audience would have cheered seeing Frisbee being arrested? Like, get that dog off the road? Oh.
Won't ever have to see her again, yeah. Right. Yeah, yeah. Get her off the street. Somebody mentioned that song from Big Lebowski. I just checked in to see what condition my condition was in as a sort of backing up your use of condition. Ah. Yeah, they felt as though we missed the best example of it.
I see. Yeah. Did people understand the line or were they mostly?
Yeah, more people had your back than didn't. Yeah.
They were also just probably the ones that would write in because they're like proud, like, I got it.
Yeah. Also, the moment on the porch we love so much with the guys crossing and uncrossing your legs, we sort of talked about the underneath the hair dryers at the salon. That was Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny's Child. So that's just addressing some of the comments and also to prove that we read them. So, you know, do plant your flag in the ground and know that we'll get around to it.
By the way, Yorm's in Finland shooting. Have we said it this episode yet?
Oh, man. We got to do that at the top of the episode. This is one I've been looking forward to as well. Daiquiri Girl last week, I was obviously like, best look in the world is a disaster.
Do you look forward to bad ones more than good ones?
Well, because I love it. I love everything Andy was trying to do. I think about lines from it all the time. Andy? Yeah. What's the nugget of the idea for best look in the world?
I don't remember how it started, but it was certainly based on many, many combos about like, I've talked a lot about a lot of people in our generation had slumber parties where their dad came out in his tighty-whities wearing a T-shirt and yelled at everyone. Then a lot of people that wear suits, you have that moment where you put on the dress shirt first and you look like that and you're like, oh man, this is bad. So socks with garters and then a shirt. Exactly. Black socks, dress shirt, no pants. And just talking about how that is basically as bad as, in this case, a man could look. Yeah. And then trying to build out a whole song around that, but reclaiming it and saying it's the best look in the world, sarcastically.
Fair to say that the take on it is a real Hank Williams Jr. Are you ready for some football vibe?
Absolutely. Right down the middle. That was the inspiration visually. I guess I should just start out by getting this out of the way and saying, I love music. I know a lot about music. That is a genre of music I had no business touching.
You know what I mean? But us now, we could do so much better. So much better.
Well, I wanted to prove the point. When you start singing in Here I Go, it immediately sounds great. Thanks. We've learned a lot. You're immediately the worst you've ever sounded. On Best Look in the World. Absolutely. It's out of your register. You're a mess. And there's no rest for the weary. Like, it's super fast, way too high. Yeah.
