From Studio Briefing:

Emmy Group Demands Title of 'SNL' Spoof Video Be Changed
It may be one of the most-watched videos in the history of YouTube, but the Justin Timberlake-Andy Samberg video "D**k in a Box," originally produced for Saturday Night Live, has hit a stone wall with the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Academy has notified the writer/performers that it will not show the video at this month's Emmy Awards unless the title is changed. According to E! Online, Timberlake has informed the Academy that he is against changing the title.

So they will show a video of guys with boxes on their dicks, and singing "dick in a box", but the title can't be dick in a box?
That makes alot of sense.

Jadzia

Yet the Oscar academy nominated a song called Uncle Fucka...

Groucho

"Cock in a Container"?
"Willie in a Carton"?
"Shaft in a Crate"?

Toad

Bick in a Dox?

magiccmom

Penis in a Present?

Jason

I thought it was referred to as Junk in a Box when they didn't want to use the word dick.

majorjoe23

No, they nominated Blame Canada.

Doughboy

That's correct. The MTV Movie Awards nominated(and gave the award to) "Uncle F-cka".

Dignam

Fuck 'em if they can't recognize a song without changing it into something it's not. Andy Samberg could get alot of press by refusing to change it, probably more than if he won. And it's not like JT needs to back down, he knows it's hard out here for a pimp.

Morf

Fine. Don't air it. Hopefully the writer/performers don't cave. Stick up for their work, and tell the Academy to fuck off.

Jack Straw

That video never gets old no matter how many times I come back to it. Best thing SNL has done since the Paris Hilton "Merv The Perv" sketch.

clappj

People still watch SNL?

Most of the other noms toe the line of decency,
Family Guy • Peter's Two Dads
MADtv • Episode 1209 - Song title: 'Merry Ex-Mas'
Saturday Night Live • Host: Justin Timberlake - Song title: 'Dick In A Box'
Scrubs • My Musical - Song Title: 'Guy Love'
Scrubs • My Musical: Song Title: 'Everyting Comes Down to Poo'

I've been wondering the same thing for years.

Decker

This past season sucked. But DIAB was one of the absolutely funniest videos I have ever seen. It was truly brilliant.

Toad

Yeah it's had some great moments the last several years.

The host makes or breaks the episodes.

cdollaz

That would actually be really funny if they came out and said that on stage.
