As a director, Taccone is responsible for the SNL shorts “MacGruber”, “Business Meeting”, “Sloths”, “Giraffes” and others. Tacconealso directed a “MacGruber” Pepsi commercial spot for the 43rd Super Bowl, which aired February 1, 2009.

Taccone co-starred in Paramount’s Hot Rod (starring Andy Samberg, directed by Akiva Schaffer) in 2007. He is also one of the principal actors in the music video “Jizz in My Pants”. Taccone played Guy #2 in “We Like Sportz”, reprising the role from “Just 2 Guyz”. Taccone played the lead role of Brett in TLI’s The ’Bu, the group’s record-breaking contribution to Channel 101, where he played a ninja who did not belong. The ’Bu, a parody of The OC, also starred Andy Samberg as Aaron and Sarah Chalke (Roseanne, Scrubs) as Melissa. In the group’s first Channel 101 show, “ITV Buzz Countdown”, Taccone played Chris Hoffman, a fictional VJ in a parody of MTV’s Total Request Live.

He made a cameo appearance in Role Models as Mitch from Graphics, where Taccone sang a karaoke version of the Scorpions’ “Rock You Like a Hurricane”; and co-starred in the Gnarls Barkley music video for the song “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul”. He appeared as Cha-Ka in Universal’s 2009 film Land of the Lost (starring Will Ferrell), for which he was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor.

Taccone directed his first film in August 2009, an adaptation of the Saturday Night Live sketch MacGruber and was featured as part of the group male vocals on Lightspeed Champion’s album Life Is Sweet! Nice to Meet You. As of SNL’s 36th season, Taccone is no longer cited in the end credits, though he is still listed on the NBC website as a writer and holds the unofficial title of “Sexiest Member of Lonely Island”.
