From Awesometown to SNL and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, it is difficult not to acknowledge the quality of Andy Samberg’s two decades of comedy shenanigans. His insane wit, goofy charm, and willingness to play dumb just to get a laugh have been with us for a while now, and everything from Hot Rod to Popstar and even the new Chip ‘N Dale movie keep showing Samberg’s comedic talent, and his interest in just putting out the most surreal, idiotic comedy his giggly mind can conceive. Plus there’s gritty, hard-hitting documentaries like this. You’re welcome.
