id The Office Mock Andy Samberg’s Lonely Island Skit With Their Parody? Here’s What Brooklyn Nine-Nine Actor Had to Say

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for pop culture and a deep appreciation for comedic performances, I must say that the interplay between The Office and Saturday Night Live through their respective spoofs of “Lazy Sundays” is nothing short of delightful. Having followed both shows closely over the years, it’s fascinating to witness the intricate dance between homage, parody, and friendly competition that characterizes this exchange.


Andy Samberg from Brooklyn Nine-Nine was perplexed about whether the creators of The Office intended their parody of The Lonely Island’s SNL skit as a jab at them or simply a depiction of people reacting to the video, as he couldn’t quite tell the difference.

During his chat with The Lonely Island and Seth Myers, Samberg admitted to being in a state of confusion about a certain situation. Rather than dwelling on it excessively, he approached Mike Schur – one of the producers of The Office who’s also penned a few SNL episodes – for clarification, and the issue was promptly resolved.

During a segment of the podcast, the actor from Palm Springs admitted that he clearly recalls the experience and wrestled with doubts such as, “Are they mocking it or are they mocking those who portray it differently?

Samberg continued by saying, “Gradually understanding that Mike [Schur] appreciated us and enjoyed the work we were doing, and feeling, ‘Ah, I get it.’

Back in 2005, as a lifestyle connoisseur might put it, The Lonely Island unveiled a captivating sketch on SNL titled “Lazy Sundays.” In this delightful piece, myself (Andy Samberg) and Chris Parnell could be found enjoying a laid-back day off, with an emphasis on savoring some delectable cupcakes. The catchy tune that accompanied our antics was the perfect soundtrack for any Sunday Funday enthusiast!

In the alternative version of The Office set in Last Scranton, Steve Carell as Michael Scott and Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute could be seen delivering a rap performance about local parks and libraries to entice and greet new hires in Stamford.

Seth Meyers shared his perspective, stating that he believes “Lazy Scranton” wasn’t intended as a joke at the expense of the character, but rather, it’s a characteristic consistent with Michael Scott’s behavior.

In an exciting turn of events, I find myself cast in the newest war drama, “Lee,” playing a role as a photojournalist. Sharing the screen with me is the incredibly talented and award-winning actress, Kate Winslet. It’s an honor to work alongside such a renowned artist.

Lee would chronicle the tale of a model who became a photographer during the Second World War. 

Right now, you can catch the movie at your local cinema. On the other hand, if you’re a fan of The Office (U.S.), all nine seasons are ready for streaming on Peacock.
