Lonely Island's "I'm On a Boat" / Sergio's "White Hot Top 5"

Since I gave up on mainstream hip-hop / R&B years ago, my days of watching videos on BET are behind me. In other words, I wasn't really up to speed on the whole 'on a boat' thing that served as the central gag for this week's digital short on SNL.

What is a strange coincidence though (at least in my opinion), is that the Lonely Island thing showed up on air the same week that Sergio Cilli mocked Akon in the White Hot Top 5.

But seriously, everyone knows Wreckx-n-Effect pioneered the on-a-boat territory in like '92. And if you're being honest, you know this looks more fun than what Akon is pushing.

Underrated Old SNL Skit: 'Who's More Grizzled?"

I think this skit appeared in more than one show, but I can't say for certain. Below is the only one I found in a quick search of YouTube. Love the exchange between 4:55 and 5:10 of the clip [Note: it's 4:55 - 5:10 on YouTube, or 1:17 - 1:02 in the embed below].
