Justin Timberlake Is Only Funny When He Puts His Dick In A Box
Posted by Molly Friedman at 6:53 AM on March 14, 2008
We have some troubling news to report: contrary to popular belief, Justin Timberlake is (spoiler alert) not funny. According to Radar Online, that masterful introductory speech JT recited at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame on Monday night was more than just a fun series of anecdotes about Madonna's B12 shots and Britney putdowns. For those on the scene, it was a painful series of awkward silences and lame attempts at humor, made even more painful by Justin's Norton-like tries at improvising some jokes of his own:
"Timberlake's attempts at humor flopped, and breaking into a falsetto sing-songy funnyvoice after botching a scripted line didn't help...When he finished, the NSYNCsman was asked by one of the producers if he 'felt good about the speech.' 'Yeah. I mean, how is everyone else's [speech]?' Timberlake replied nervously."
We're actually quite saddened to hear this news, mainly because we so thoroughly enjoyed nearly every pitch-perfect second of his 2005 hosting duties on Saturday Night Live. There was the super competitive hot dog, the Target employee with a chapstick addiction, and the dead-on revenge-impersonation of Ashton Kutcher swiveling out of his mind on Punk'd. And then, in his December 2006 return, there was that digital short that had everyone under the age of 80 extolling the virtues of dicks in boxes. So what happened? We guess JT is only as funny as the cue cards the SNL staff has written for him. Oh well, at least this won't hurt his budding film prospects playing Very Serious roles.

Well he had me in tears of laughter with his speach, i think he is quite a funny guy IN most interviews ive seen of him he has made me laugh, i think it just depends on who you are i think many people think he is still very funny and it never mad me feel awkward. I am suprised to hear this and i think its utter nonsence.

Justin probably wasn't as funny as he could be, seeing as how he was presenting for the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. It's such a big deal. But hey, he IS collaborating on Madonna's "4 Minutes". It such a cool song. He is definitely one my top favorite artists. So talented. That's probably why he's nominated for FAVORITE MALE ARTIST on Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards. Let's go vote for him people. Come on. Jack Black is going to be hosting so we know that we'll have at least ONE person there will be funny. Guaranteed.

You can download a cool widget from the site and play around with an innovative video mixer. It's really fun. At the moment, I'm working with Nick to get the word out. So help me out in spreading the news. The show airs on March 29th @ 8PM.
