The Lonely Island have also been nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for I'm On A Boat and won an Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for Dick In A Box. With such accolades and two albums behind them, The Lonely Island are certainly a YouTube artist to keep an eye on. For now though, enjoy the following video:
