SNL Digital Shorts (2005)
Season 4
Season 4 of SNL Digital Shorts continued to build on the success of previous seasons, offering a mix of hilarious sketches, absurd humor, and infectious musical numbers. The Lonely Island trio (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) remained at the helm of many of the standout shorts, while the series also introduced new guest stars and fresh comedic ideas. This season pushed boundaries even further, with a blend of crude humor, clever satire, and unexpected twists.

In 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).

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.
