The Lonely Island: Chattin' with Joni: International Bidness Part 2: Beta Testing!

January 20, 2011

International Bidness Part 2: Beta Testing!

A lot of people reported not being able to see videos internationally still. So we need your help! If you are international and have trouble watching an SNL Digital Short on HULU, please put in the comments which video you were trying to watch and from where. We're directly reporting your problems to HULU and they're trying to fix this for us. Thanks for beta testing!

UPDATE: Just to clarify, HULU is for the USA only, but we've received special permission for SNL Digital Shorts to be International, but only SNL Digital Shorts. So please, only tell us about SNL Digital Shorts. Thanks!

Stefan said...: All videos (i think) can be found here: http://www.hulu.com/search?query=%22SNL+Digital+Short%22

If you want to try them in your countries.; 1/20/2011 4:08 AM

Unknown said...: im in Israel and some im not able to watch, such as " i broke my arm - digital short" thats just one of them.; 1/20/2011 4:28 AM
Dan P said...: Still Norway here.
I managed to register at Hulu and the uncensored videos are working in Norway.
That means that the only Digital Shorts I have not been able to play in Norway are these two:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/141564/saturday-night-live-backstage-boombox#s-p3-sr-i2
http://www.hulu.com/watch/1378/saturday-night-live-snl-digital-short-apocalypto-recut#s-p16-sr-i2

The rest are working.; 1/20/2011 5:43 AM
Unknown said...: In the Czech Republic and I can't watch any of them. Hulu actually shuts me down before I even click to load a video with a lovely pop-up window saying it's not possible at this time, but they'll apparently let me know when Hulu is available in my region.; 1/20/2011 6:01 AM
Unknown said...: Same in Sydney, Australia.

If you idiots went to the Hulu website you would read "Sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed from within the United States".

Even the wikipedia site says it is only available in the US. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulu"; 1/20/2011 6:10 AM
Unknown said...: Update: I can stream directly from the Lonely Island website even though it's Hulu. I just can't watch them on Hulu or on FB. Not really sure how that works...; 1/20/2011 6:16 AM
Unknown said...: I'm in Australia and get the message "Sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed from within the United States"; 1/20/2011 6:27 AM
Unknown said...: UK - all Mac Grubers, Giraffes!, Sloths!, Body Fuzion, United Way, Harpoon Man, Apocalypto recut, I Broke My Arm. And nothing on the SNL website (just the promos); 1/20/2011 6:41 AM

Anonymous said...: i'm from slovakia and i can't watch any of the videos :(; 1/20/2011 9:46 AM
hsg said...: I live in London, and I can't watch any of the Hulu or SNL videos. Which makes me hugely disappointed every time I click through from my RSS reader. I keep thinking I should unsubscribe, but I'm a huge fan of Lonely Island. I think it's inevitable that I will unsubscribe sooner or later - so I'm really glad you're aware of the issue and are interested in addressing it.

You have an international fan base who keep experiencing a Pavlovian sense of disappointment.; 1/20/2011 10:01 AM
Unknown said...: I live in Canada and I cannot watch any videos from SNL or even shows like Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.; 1/20/2011 10:55 AM
Unknown said...: Sweden, i cant see any Hulu videos. "Currently only works in US" is what it tells me when i try. I just watch the full SNL eps instead :); 1/20/2011 11:46 AM

all the rest work fine!!!; 1/20/2011 2:37 PM
António Choupina, Arch. said...: Yeah, I'm from Portugal and we have the exact same issue with the videos mentioned on the previous comment from Ireland: "stumblin, all Mac Grubers, Giraffes!, Sloths!, Body Fuzion, United Way, Harpoon Man, Apocalypto recut, I Broke My Arm". Most videos on Hulu "can only be streamed within the USA" so I'm actually surprised that so many of your other digital shorts were working... Keep up the good work 'cause you guys are hilarious!!! Cheers; 1/20/2011 3:30 PM
Dan P said...: jaknudsen: The videos I linked to in my post are videos I'm not able to view either, which are:

http://www.hulu.com/watch/141564/saturday-night-live-backstage-boombox#s-p3-sr-i2
and
http://www.hulu.com/watch/1378/saturday-night-live-snl-digital-short-apocalypto-recut#s-p16-sr-i2

Which version of the messages are you getting? The one with the black background and white text or the one where you can type in your e-mail address? If it's the last one, you can try just clicking the "Close" button and reloading the page. That works for most of the videos I watched.

Try these videos. They are working for me:

Unknown said...: Hi, dudes.

I can't watch Stumblin' with the two Pauls.

I live in Vancouver B.C. Canada.

Also, I can't wait to get your new albums, around what month is it coming out?

I also bought your old album the month it came out (March 2009?)and my little brothers and I have listen to it constantly since then.

But I just recently realized there's a "DELUX" version of Incredibad, with DVD!! I want to buy it again, but it's nowhere to be found!

Is there any place you'd recommend me to go?

Thanks, and keep up the good work! :D
