Andy is very creative and quick. His comment about the view not being great for the floor with respect to Kirstie Alley had me rotfl even though i dont approve of fat Kistrie jokes.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Like every other late-night talk show

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Does Conan come out and mingle with the audience before the show?

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Nope :(. Basically the process was show up early around 1 - 1:30 PM to get a number which determines the order which you get to sit. At that point, you can do whatever you want until you line up at 3 PM. Then you spend an hour waiting in line, walking across the street to the stage, and getting seated.

They had the band play a few songs before the show, and a guy run through the basic rules and warnings as well as make some decent jokes and introduce Andy. The show is really well run, not many edits on the actual broadcast for that taping. Conan does sing the end of the show song before leaving and did walk up to hug some people in the crowd that had a sign, but that was the only interaction I saw.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

when i saw conan back in the late night days, he came out before and shook hands.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Finland week stream shows were great :) Be it Emmie Rossum interview, Angry Bird or Chelsea Handler making fun of Conan :).

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

I also liked the song game.
"Get both feet off the ground simultaneously" :D
"I hate myself more" :D

And there was one day the week before on Mattew Perry's interview when Conan's hair was really tall.

The monologue writers are doing a bad job at jokes though. Pretty bad jokes.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

The audience girl rubbing Conan's boobs on the Martha Stewart show :D
Women get away with murder.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Sarah Silverman makes some very inapproriate jokes, her joke about the baby girl being totally shaved....

I hope coco changes to the Ginjah Ninja. Thats a cool name.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

What is with the Conan hate on sci-fi, nerds, and fantasy movies?
Also dont like the hate on fat people (Kirstie Alley). He is like a jock

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

conan makes fun of all kinds of groups of people. it's just easier with scifi nerds.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

It's people like you who take him seriously that he's making fun of. He said it himself in one of his monologues "I don't know why I make fun of these people, they saved my ass" or something similar to that. So clearly it's just in fun. Don't take it personal.

Also the Will Ferrell threats to chop his beard off have been pretty funny :lol:

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

I'll probably watch the Will Ferrel one, but I've stopped watching every night. It's just not as good as the Tonight Show, and especially Late Night.

The jokes every night are just rehashes of that Monday's jokes. I know you can say that about every late night talk show, but it seems more prevalent on Conan to me.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

I think it's a lot better than his The Tonight Show run personally. It's not as good as Late Night maybe, but I still really like it.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

He needs to start doing things where he goes out on the streets and does sketches there.


The Ted Turner and Tyler Perry's Row 13 sketches aren't funny

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

He's not taking the risks he used to. Which is weird, since actually owning his own show now and being on a cable station should afford him that opportunity more than it did back at NBC.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Andy is more funny.

But yeah, many of the monologue jokes are really bad.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

I think one thing to keep in mind though is that he's on considerably earlier than he ever has been before too. About half an hour earlier than The Tonight Show slot and an hour and a half earlier than Late Night was. I think going later would allow him to do more, but I really don't think he's bad. I think it's more the new skits he's doing aren't as memorable as old ones. It's a shame NBC won't let him have the rights to his old characters and bits.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Man, I remember being crucified for saying negative things about this show early on. Glad you guys are finally realizing the truth.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Actually I like this show a lot, the monologue jokes are bad, but Conan seems more "open" and relaxed now. The interaction with the audience members is better, Andy is great; I think this show is an improvment over his other ones.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

I still DVR it every night and watch 2-3 in a day. I enjoy it for the most part and just fast forward if/when the monologue gets annoying.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Same here, the monologue can get boring but the other stuff on the show is pretty entertaining.

I personally like the Ted Turner skits.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

I do think he's not as edgy as he was on the Late Show, but that's also because he's in a different situation where ratings matter. Nobody gave a shit about the Late Show ratings.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Yeah her legs are pretty meh but the shoes she wears I could shove my cock in them all day long.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Andy and the guest stars are edgier.
One female guest star said cocksucker
Another started a discussion on the vag patch.
Andy said dick recently.
There is the F bomb hall of fame
etc.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

ok, point taken, but the comedy that they've been doing (specifically the sketch stuff) is tame compared to vomiting kermit, the coked up warewolf, cameltoe annie, preparation h raymond, etc..

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Beardpocalypse was pretty funny. Will Farrel was in rare form. Weird to see Conan without a beard after seeing him with one for a little while.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Ya Will was hilarious last night

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

But then there was the IBM computer sketch, with the computer talking about Andy's wife...

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Completely agree. I can honestly say I was :lol: several times during it. Will Ferrel: "This razor isn't powered by batteries, it's powered by righteousness!"

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

I was bummed out that Reese Witherspoon didn't join it a couple weeks ago.

I would have preferred Conan keeping the beard, and I'll admit the actual shaving bit was really funny. The videos leading up to it, however, were awful. Not. Funny. On top of that, I guess I just really have a problem with the whole ginger / ginj stuff; that really is hate speech and I'm surprised / disappointed Conan doesn't see it that way and lets it be said on his show.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Beardpocalypse screamed desperation.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Hate speech? :lol: ok.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Yeah, I liked the beard too! Why did he have to shave it :(

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Someday, perhaps someone different than you will choose a word to describe how you look and encourage people to identify you by it with pejorative intentionality and then laugh when you say that you define it as hate speech, so you can understand. Then again, perhaps not.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Or, it screamed a funny bit that he and Will came up with. Maybe, just maybe he wanted to shave it off and this was a fun way to do it. But it can't be that, can it. Worst case scenario!!!!!

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

So ginger is comparable to the n-bomb?


Alright then.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

That's your leap in logic, not mine.

Re: Conan --> Series Discussion Thread --> 2010-2011
 

Ginger qualifies as hate speech according to you, and the n-bomb definitely is.

So they're the same.


Because people really hate gingers, right? -rolleyes-
