Dick in a Box originated from an SNL Digital Short that premiered in December 2006, featuring Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake as an early 90s-style R&B duo. The song parodies the excessive sentimentality of R&B ballads, presenting a literal three-step guide to the ultimate holiday gift. It quickly became a viral sensation, winning a Creative Arts Emmy and solidifying The Lonely Island's place in internet history. In meme culture, the template is used to mock questionable gift ideas, elaborate overcomplications, or simply to celebrate the nostalgic absurdity of one of Saturday Night Live's most iconic and catchy musical moments.
