I'm sure many of you have seen this video, and apparently it's the funniest thing ever. Almost 15,000,000 views...

  

Why don't I find this funny? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

Because humor is individuel (English spelling gone bad).

Usually I don't like most of what is populare but that song I find funny :) Especially when me and my friends do our own while driving. (I'm in the car, I play my Xbox, I'm on the toilet, I'm in the shower etc etc)

Don't sweat it ;)

It isn't "good music" per se... it's parody.
You gotta know the source material for it to be funny.

It isn't considered good music.  But it is funny.  Look at it from a Weird Al perspective.  The purpose of this song wasn't to be taken seriously as a great song...  It's a joke.
For those of you who don't get why it's funny...  The thing I love about it is how serious they seem about the whole thing...  The constant use of "motherfucker" definitely amplifies this lol...

But humor is a personality thing I guess...  I can't convince you that it's funny, and you can't convince me that it isn't funny...  If you didn't laugh your ass off the first time you saw it like I did, then you probably won't ever find it funny.

I like The Lonely Island, and this song is mildly funny, but it definitely doesn't hold a candle to Stephen Lynch or good Weird Al. The Old Saloon, Dick in a Box, Lazy Sunday and Jizz in My Pants are all pretty good though. The rest of the album can fuck itself.

Weird Al does it better, but I got a laugh out of it.

No it wasn't funny...just some dumb ass parody of a shitty music video with a shitty rapper and 2 other retarded white boys.  I can't stand T Pain...the guy is a fucking joke....he whores himself out to ever other artist and thinks its cool....and as for that, he isn't even a good singer...he voice is shitty.

What about Boombox and Saxman?

As a parody, it's amazing, though you should almost consider yourself thankful that you don't know what it's mocking.

Either JazzyJeff is being too cool for school and pretending to be oblivious or he really hasn't experienced 21st century hip-hop culture and so doesn't see where the humour is coming from. I expect the first.

Both of those were terrible. I was ridiculously disappointed in Jack Black when I heard Sax Man. Terrible.

Yeah it was barely a song...  Jack could do better.
