17 Episodes
- Ras TrentE5
Ras TrentSamberg plays a college student legalist who has converted to Rastafarianism, who sings boastfully (and stereotypically) about the culture, while being aware that he's not fit for it when he walks by a group of actual Rastas. Wiig and Wilson appear in the short as backup singers; the actual backup vocals were recorded by Joanna Newsom and Maya Rudolph. Music produced by Sly & Robbie. - Everyone's A CriticE6
Everyone's A CriticIn a clip from Paul Rudd's new movie, Samberg romantically paints him nude and then Rudd returns the favor (A parody of the film Titanic). While selling the painting at an auction, it is shown to be so graphic that everyone who sees it begins convulsing violently, vomiting, bleeding from the eyes, and committing violent acts of suicide. Fred Armisen appears as the auctioneer, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood respectively (parodying the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark), and Casey Wilson as the interviewer. - Virgania Horsen's Pony ExpressE7
Virgania Horsen's Pony ExpressKristen Wiig reprises her role as Virgania Horsen in a crudely made commercial for her new business, which consists of mail delivery by horse. (The first short featuring Wiig in this role, Virgania Horsen’s Hot Air Balloon Rides, originally aired on February 23, 2008 without the official "An SNL Digital Short" title card.) - A Couple of HomiesE11
A Couple of HomiesSamberg and Fred Armisen casually talk in a break room while Forte sings about every little thing that they're doing (giving each other a high five, reading magazines, drinking soda, and wearing dresses). At the end, it's revealed to actually be a commercial for the D.A.R.E. program. It was originally cut from the Ben Affleck dress rehearsal. - Laser Cats! 4-Ever!E12
Laser Cats! 4-Ever!A "half human, half Laser Cat, half RoboCop" named Cyber-Face (Kenan Thompson) is presented to a group of scientists by their colleague (Will Forte) but quickly goes haywire. Admiral Spaceship (Samberg) and Nitro (Hader) intervene to put an end to its killing spree, and are shocked to find out that Cyber-Face is Admiral Spaceship's estranged father (Martin) right before he is gunned down by police officers. - Property of the QueenE14
Property of the QueenSamberg blackmails the Jonas Brothers with a videotape of them as an '80s band called Property of the Queen. Samberg ultimately wants to know how they stayed young for 25 years and it is revealed that the wizard featured in one of their music videos (Bill Hader) kept them young. Kenan Thompson, Will Forte, and Bobby Moynihan appear as band members.
