It was meant to be ironic.
Akiva: That was the name of one of their albums.
Lyric: “The Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia!”
NBC
Akiva: We got very wild writing it.
Everyone went, YES!
But the lines were so long, I dont think wed even had it at that point.
NBC
Chris: They actually tried to confiscate the tape.
Multiple times, banana pudding would show up on set.
Jorma: So we forgave them.
NBC
Andy: Were cool with them now.
That beef has been squashed.
Jorma: That epic rap beef has been squashed.
NBC
Andy: Its like the great ones: Jay Z and Nas, the Lonely Island and Magnolia.
All squashed in the name of positivity.
Lyric: “I love those cupcakes like McAdams loves Gosling.”
NBC
Akiva:The Notebookis one of the great love stories of our time.
Jorma: you could say that we all simultaneously said that.
Chris: And Andy was just a big Ryan Gosling fan at the time.
NBC
[laughs] He didnt really.
Lyric: “Yo, where’s the movie playin'?
Upper West Side, dude / Well, let’s hit up Yahoo!
NBC
Maps to find the dopest route
Akiva: The theater we actually filmed at was in Chelsea.
Jorma: Yeah, the exterior was Chelsea Cinemas.
Andy: And the interior was the UCB Theater, also in Chelsea.
NBC
Akiva: So we didnt actually go to the Upper West Side.
[laughs] We just called it out because its the most… basic place.
I’m a middle-of-the-road guy!
NBC
Its like, well, were already in the West Village… lets walk to Chelsea!
It was the closest movie theater to where we were.
It cost us $7.
NBC
Jorma: And by the way, Google Maps is still the best today.
Andy: Jormas such a Google Maps guy.
I like all of them!
NBC
I have not done that in a long time.
But thats what its really about.
Jorma: I actually did that recently.
Andy: You have!
We did that, when we went and sawTaken 2.
We all snuck in beers.
Jorma: Nothings changed since high school!
I recently tried to sneak a burrito into a theater and got caught.
It was pretty embarrassing.
He noticed it under my sweatshirtit was a real bummer.
Im in my 30s.
Chris: I don’t eat much candy anymore, so I mostly take in bottles of water now.
Jorma: Mr. Pibb has always been my favorite soda.
If youre gonna do Dr Pepper or Mr. Pibb, Mr. Pibb wins every time.
Chris: Usually I get Pibb Extra.
I think its got extra caffeine in it.
Akiva: And Red Vines because were California guys, and Red Vines are West Coast.
Andy: Yeah, Twizzlers are East Coast.
Akiva: Also, Mr. Pibb just sounds funny.
Like, using the Red Vine as a straw in a Mr Pibb.
Andy: I think that is good though!
Jorma: No, its not.
They’re right, its not great.
Akiva: They probably didnt do it right.
Andy: But she wasnt then!
She was just visiting.
Jorma: Shed done a little bit of standup, but just barely.
Akiva: We put her in because she was just there visiting, not because of her comedic things.
Andy: She also had the look for what we wanted, which was complete apathy.
Akiva: She continues to have that look!
He got it from that old Got Milk?
That is how I knew about Aaron Burr.
[laughs] Berkeley public-school system here.
Akiva: If I can be frank, its the best line hes ever written.
Andy: I think thats fair.
Andy: I think that was a real one wed seen, right?
But maybe not, because we had to make it rhyme.
But it might have been similar.
Do they still even do trivia before movies?
Jorma: I don’t know.
Thats prime real estate to sell, like, Hondas now.
Bonus Lyric: “What up, Parns?”
Chris: Some people call me Parns now because of the song.
Its not my favorite thingit just seems a little familiar.
Thats a special private name among the SNL cast!
