To understand Lonely Island, you really have to get pop culture. All of these songs are satire, and I'm not sure some of these folks were aware of that.

larkermouse I was thinking exactly this just now! If you have no reference on what they are making fun of, it looks crass and in poor taste, but it's really quite clever! However for most of the elders, it goes over their head I think.

my grandmother reminds me of the elders they have on

"Anyone can write this kind of stuff." Yeah but everyone didn't. This dude doesn't get it. Most Lonely Island fans are young adults, we don't "snicker" at the vulgar lyrics. We like how the songs can treat themselves so seriously but not be serious. Its a clever way to do things.

Exactly, the lyrics don't make the songs great or the shit they are singing/mocking about. Its their ability to Masterfully mimic other genres while making fun of what they are replicating at the same time...

Perhaps if it was explained to the elders that the group was making fun of popular memes and expressions, the elders could've probably gotten the message/s

In my honest opinion i prefer watching the elders react over the teens, or youtubers/celebs or kids. I love the elders reactions.

4:46 hardest I've EVER laughed during a Elders React video!

i know this i an old video....but....let the teens react to the lonely island....

The blonde lady dressed in pink and the lady dressed in green get it! The funny thing… they reacted with so much emotion, feeling to David Bowie, I remember the lady in green crying and she knew all his songs, not a coincidence… you can actually see from this who has a great sense of humor and a broader knowledge. This happens on every generation. Love these ladies ❤️

On the music "YOLO" they were so focused on the lyrics that they did not actually undestood the meaning.

Jennifer, Catherine, Marty & Owen...I absolutely adore the 4 of you, your sense of humour & openness. I'm not exactly a kid but I love how you all not only "got" but genuinely seemed to enjoy The Lonely Island (who I consider to be musical/comedic geniuses).

They should've include Boombox
