You know you've made it when...

I believe in Hollywood it's a significant indication that you've "made it" when they make an action figure out of you. Well, in the music industry, the equivalent indicator it might be when you guest-star as yourself in a cartoon (for example, any number of Simpsons episodes, or Korn on South Park). O.A.R. got their nod thanks to an online comic called College University. Check out Episode nine, featuring O.A.R.. Viewer discretion is advised as one of the main characters appears to be a giant monkey wearing only briefs. My only critique would be that Benj's widow's peak needs to be a bit bigger.

In all seriousness, this stuff is pretty good; there are some genuinely funny parts, the timing and delivery is good, and the animation is acceptable, certainly in the post-South Park era. It's important to realize that there is now stuff online that is just as good, if not better, than what's on your television.
