In the summer of 2008, the trio rented a home in Los Angeles and began recording their debut studio album, "Incredibad" (2009), over the course of three months. The album is composed of new songs and pre-existing songs debuted and recorded for "SNL". Many songs recorded for the album would later premiere as Digital Shorts in the following season of "SNL". In contrast to their work at "SNL", the troupe went through each song in detail, taking their time to craft the album. For the first time, the group incorporated professional mixing and mastering, leading to an improved sound quality of the recordings. The first song they created for the record "Jizz in My Pants", was the lead single and debuted as an "SNL" Digital Short in December 2008. It received millions of views, and was their first single to go platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
