Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping	comment	Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is a 2016 music mockumentary film starring The Lonely Island, who also directed (sans Andy Samberg), wrote, and co-produced the film (with Judd Apatow), additionally composing the soundtrack.A very extreme Affectionate Parody of the music business and modern celebrity as a whole, Popstar focuses on pop-rapper Conner4Real (Samberg). Once a member of a famous rap trio called the Style Boyz alongside childhood friends Owen Bouchard (Jorma Taccone) and Lawrence Dunn (Akiva Schaffer), he found extreme success once he went solo, albeit on less-than-amicable terms.Now living a reckless, debauchery-laden high life surrounded by an entourage of yes men, fueled by intensely overinflated narcissism, and with his former band members seemingly left in the dust (Owen merely being Conner's background DJ and Lawrence quitting music altogether to live on a farm), Conner launches his second solo album CONNquest — the single most anticipated album of the decade.Due to a number of reasons, the album sales are not what Conner expected.Hilarity Ensues as he struggles to keep his celebrity status afloat, trying anything he can to maintain his image — anything except getting back together with the Style Boyz.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_120d0e3f	comment	Adam Westing: A number of the celebrity cameos have shades of this, such as Mariah Carey talking about how humble she is after listening to Conner's rap on the same subject, and Nas saying that listening to Conner changed his life.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Conner is a clear Justin Bieber parody. Likewise, Hunter the Hungry is a parody of Tyler, the Creator's 2011 shock-rap era, with a bit of Chance the Rapper thrown in. Hunter's jackassery at the Poppies is reminiscent of Kanye West's interruption of the 2009 VMAs. CONNquest being forced upon people through Aquaspinâ€™s appliances & the ensuing backlash is clearly inspired by U2 & Apple doing the same thing with Songs of Innocence in 2014, albeit with iTunes rather than kitchen appliances. As far as Conner's songs go, "Equal Rights" has been largely interpreted as a send-up of Macklemore's "Same Love", and "Incredible Thoughts" is likely this to Insane Clown Posse's "Miracles".

Finally, when Hunter joined the tour, he started sharing the spotlight with Conner, pushing Owen even further back, culminating with Conner forcing Owen to wear a helmet on stage so that his face isn't even visible anymore.

Conner having his DJ Owen wear a light-up robot head while on stage is a nod to Daft Punk. Hunter describes it as "Optimus Prime's dick". A news clip reveals that, after causing a blackout, Barack Obama called Conner a "dumbfuck", which is reminiscent of a much-publicized candid comment, captured on audio, of Obama calling Kanye West a jackass after the Taylor Swift incident. Snoop Dogg has a documentary called Surprise Motherfucka. One of the bad reviews for his album is simply a poop emoji. This is similar to a joke in This is Spın̈al Tap, where one of the reviews for the fictional album Shark Sandwich was simply "Shit Sandwich". Owen's helmet makes the tripod horn call from War of the Worlds (2005).

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_ea85d6ea	comment	All Just a Dream: The full soundtrack version of "Finest Girl" ends with Conner realizing that the events of the song (him fulfilling a girl's wish to "fuck her like we fucked Bin Laden" and getting a call from the President eagerly requesting details on it) were "just a virtual reality experience".

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	Jerkass: Conner himself, especially as the tour goes south. Hunter the Hungry, who spends his free time harassing people in the form of "pranks" and ends up going 40 minutes over on his opening act and refusing to leave, and then stealing Conner's sponsorship and entourage. He also sets up the prank that leaves Conner naked onstage.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: In-universe; Conner funds the tour through one with a company called Aquaspin that agrees to put his music in their appliances without telling the customers. It backfires when said deal causes massive blackouts and an even bigger backlash.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_fabef10f	comment	One of the bad reviews for his album is simply a poop emoji. This is similar to a joke in This is Spın̈al Tap, where one of the reviews for the fictional album Shark Sandwich was simply "Shit Sandwich".

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: Conner thinks The Onion's satiric positive review of CONNquest is genuine. "Equal Rights" is a song about legalizing gay marriage and supporting homosexuality... that has Conner repeatedly insist he's not gay and causes Ringo Starr to point out afterwords that gay marriage is already legal now.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: The wolves. When Conner tries proposing to Ashley to better his image, Seal and an accompanying string section are present — alongside a bunch of wolves (since they're Ashley's spirit animal). Unfortunately, the music causes the wolves to go rogue and attack everyone. This gag doesn't come back until the literal last second of the film, when Conner's life has seemingly gone back to normal...and a wolf tackles him out of nowhere. The Parent Trap. Owen takes inspiration from the film's setup to try and replicate its "making divorced parents fall back in love" premise in real life with Conner and Lawrence. When Owen later tells Conner after a show that he got Lawrence to come to an afterparty, Conner outright asks him, "Are you trying to Parent Trap me?" Eventually, when the two do make up, Owen excitedly says to himself, "Parent Trap!" "It was me."
