Previously on Boing Boing, we've chronic-WHAT-cled the rise to fame of three comics who released shorts online under a Creative Commons license, then got big gigs on Saturday Night Live.

This week's Jack Black-hosted SNL episode included the first digital short produced by the Lonely Island guys at their new NBC gig. Thankfully, television does not kill all good things: The Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia kicks just as much tuckus as the online shorts that made Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer web celebs in the first place. Watch the video: YouTube link, WMV link. (Thank you, Macki!)

Bonus: I wrote a piece about the Lonely Island guys for this month's edition of Wired Magazine. Live, from New York!. Related Boing Boing posts:
