The track won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics in 2007, and appeared on the Australian and Canadian single charts in 2009. 'Dick in a Box' has been recognized retrospectively as The Lonely Island's signature song and one of the best Christmas-themed SNL sketches. The song received generally positive reviews from both television and music critics, who praised its raunchy humor and Timberlake's performance. 'Dick in a Box' became a viral hit on the internet, and had generated more than 28 million views on YouTube by October 2007. In 2009, the song was released digitally as a single and included on The Lonely Island's debut studio album, Incredibad. SNL producers published an uncensored version of the sketch online right after its broadcast debut, a decision criticized by the Parents Television Council. The word 'dick' was bleeped 16 times following an agreement with the Federal Communications Commission. The sketch premiered on SNL as a Digital Short on December 16, 2006. The sketch depicts two early 1990s R&B singers, played by Samberg and Timberlake, singing a holiday song about making a Christmas gift for their girlfriends of their penises in boxes. They recorded the track around midnight and spent the next day and a half filming the corresponding music video. Samberg developed the concept with other members of the group before working with Timberlake on December 14. Saturday Night Live ( SNL) creator and producer Lorne Michaels asked Samberg to write a musical sketch for the 2006 Christmas episode with Timberlake, who was returning as both host and musical guest. Barnes and Asa Taccone co-produced it with Jorma Taccone. The trio- Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone-co-wrote the song with Timberlake, Katreese Barnes, and Asa Taccone. ' Dick in a Box' is a song by the American comedy group The Lonely Island, featuring singer Justin Timberlake.
