Why do a ton of retards think this is a serious rap song? I hate rap but this is fucking hilarious, it's like a parody towards rap video's and today's music in general, and it's awesome.

"As a parody, it's amazing, though you should lamost consider yourself thankful that you don't know what it's mocking."
What?"
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."
I understand the humor, but I just don't find it funny. :\  It's not trying to go against the grain--I think a lot of popular things are funny--but there's nothing clever about this video.

 Here's a list of what I think of popular comedians so you can see what my tastes are:

Adam Sandler - Rarely Funny
Will Ferrell - Often funny, but a little stale
Dave Chappelle - Funny
Dane Cook - Not Funny
Chris Rock - Funny
Ricky Gervais - Funny
Lewis Black - Funny
George Carlin - Funny
Mitch Hedberg - Funny
Ron White - Not Funny
Bill Engvall - Not Funny

What about Boombox and Saxman?"
Both of those were terrible. I was ridiculously disappointed in Jack Black when I heard Sax Man. Terrible.

Wait...it took you this long to be disappointed in Jack Black?

Your right they cant hold up to Lynch or Weird Al but they are the only one I think are keeping SNL alive.

Like a Boss and Jizz in my Pants is better but this is funny to. (can someone link "like a boss"?)

While it is parody of the shallow nature of popular hip hop, it also is funny because its utterly absurd.

The concept and lyrics are so ridiculous there is a humor in the fact that someone spent the time writing the song.

Absurdity is the entire premise of Family Guy.

Because rap has gotten so fucking stupid that some people can't separate the fake stuff from the real stuff.

I find this funny. As well as Jizz in my pants.

Of course, not everyone might find The Lonely Island funny, it's a matter of comedic taste.

I think its great. But as others have said, its personality and source material. Its not trying to be a "good song".

I love that song but I guess it's just a matter of taste. Jizz in my pants is awesome too, here it is for anyone who hasn't seen it:

It's playing off the fact that so many rap videos take place on some crazy ass boat, and they usually have a pretty similar beat. It's all about taste and knowledge of the subject behind it I guess.

Because it's not? It's an SNL skit. No one expects it to be "good" music.

This.. why would we think that someone yelling about how they "make it rain on them hoes" would be serious?

I did find Jizz In My Pants funny though.

Why don't I find this funny? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!"
"I used to be with it, then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with, isn't it and what's it seems weird and scary. It'll happen to yoooouuu."

It's all a part of growing older, but don't worry, even recognizing that there is a joke in there is a positive.  But, for the rap video you embedded, it's really about having a context to the media to see the humor.  I thought the video was funny, especially because of T-Pain and his overused digitized voice.  I don't think it would have been as funny if he wasn't in it, because his appearance says to me "Hey, aren't you tired of me yet? Well, here I am again! And I'll be in a dozen more videos before the end of the month. I'm milkin' this silly vocal effect for all I can."   That's what I find funny about the video.
