Schaffer and Taccone had been on the writing staff for nearly three months, yet to this point they had only two live sketches that survived the dress rehearsal process and actually made it on air. By Thanksgiving, the duo felt antsy, and decided to produce a parody of "The Whisper Song" by the Ying Yang Twins as "The Bing Bong Brothers" (the song mainly consisting of a whispered refrain, "You will like our penises"). The video became a viral sensation and was picked up by G4's "Attack of the Show". Encouraged by the response, the trio would incorporate that method into their next work for "SNL". Their next sketch on "SNL", "Lettuce Heads", consists of Samberg and Will Forte holding a serious discussion while intermittently eating heads of lettuce. In creating the short, they decided to bypass the pitching process, as they were so new to the show that it would have been dismissed as too expensive. Their second video was turned down as it was deemed too similar.
