MTV Movie Awards: Watch Lonely Island’s Medley of Will Smith Songs (Video)

“Suicide Squad” star won the Generations award, and the comedy rap trio paid tribute

The Lonely Island took the stage at the MTV Movie Awards to sing a medley of a pile of old Will Smith songs, before handing Will Smith the Generations Award, the MTV Movie Awards’ sort of hip version of a lifetime achievement award.

The medley included the theme from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Summertime,” “Men in Black” and, finally, “Jiggy.”

The three members of The Lonely Island — Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone — wore appropriately ’90s attire, overalls over erratically patterned collared shirts.

The group, hired as writers on “Saturday Night Live” starting in 2005, made a big impression with short music videos like “Lazy Sunday” and “Dick in a Box.”

Their new movie, “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping,” is due in theaters on June 3.

Watch the performance above.
