Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lazy Sunday?
Lazy Sunday was a short film made by Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell for NBC's Saturday Night Live. You can watch it here.
Why did you guys make your version?
Sam and Raph have been big fans of The Lonely Island since before The Dudes started on SNL, so when "Lazy Sunday" became a huge internet sensation and inspired several "responses", they felt it was fate calling them to join in on the fun.
Wait, are you saying there are other response videos?
Yep. The first official one was made by Mark Feuerstein, Adam Stein and Sam Friedlander. They set up a website for their version, and the rest is history. Incidentally, Sam has always enjoyed Mark Feuerstein's performance on another NBC show, "The West Wing", so he was even more excited at the prospect of making an English response. You can see the other responses here.
Aren't you just trying to jump on the "Lazy Sunday" bandwagon?
At this point, that ship has long sailed. The craze has now died down. If we had wanted to cash in on the initial success, we would have made this video 3 months ago. Instead, we made this. Having said that, please send the video on to your friends, post it on any messageboards/forums you visit, and generally pimp us out like the dirty $2 hookers we really are.

Who are you guys, anyway?
This is the question which has plagued our families for the last eighteen years.
Quit cracking wise, smart-arse..
Sam Baron is the guy who directed the video, as well as the rest of the films on this site. He co-wrote it and starred in it along with Raph von Blumenthal, who can be seen acting in many of the other short films on this site. They have been making films together for four years. Watch them at right here.
Who made that incredible beat?
The music was done by a very talented guy named Jake Gray. Back when he originally made it, Sam and Jake shot a music video for the song, then called "Shutterspeed", which you can see here. Jake is a long time friend of Sam and Raph and also starred in their first feature film, which was called "Can You Survive a Week in Paradise?". You can watch the trailer and buy the DVD right here.
Who else was involved in making "We Drink Tea"?
Two very lovely gals named Emily Hargreaves and Kelly Clare. They filmed the video for Sam and Raph. They also appear in it as the English louts. This is Kelly's first ever involvement in an Illimms film (and she's very welcome), but many years ago Emily also starred in "Can You Survive a Week in Paradise?", although her role was fairly rubbish compared to Jake's. For this, the guys are sorry. Look out for more appearances from both ladies in the future.
Where can I download that awesome mp3?
