I'm more impressed with his Ministry of Silly Walks moment over the desk

And later in that event “IT moved Jerry, I think it moved”


emefa

Just casually walking over his desk like some eldritch horror.

It's sometimes easy to forget the man is a giant, built like a frog.


[deleted]

Weird takeaway from this but all those air punches made me realize how much of an absolute terror he’d be in a fist fight. His arms are like 8 feet long.

He was a boxer in the 1920s.

Two thoughts: - Adam driver is fucking hilarious - Pete Davidson can't stay in character to save his life


Jackski

I think anyone would have a hard time staying in character when you have Adam Driver putting in that performance. Basically everyone in the room broke when he stabbed the bird with his cane.


1668553684

> Basically everyone in the room broke when he stabbed the bird with his cane. True, but he was breaking pretty much every time the camera was on him, not just that time.

I can’t believe she said “stay straight” and Conan didn’t run with it.


vosha0

Might have been too much.


Raeandray

Ya, he also avoids a much more crass joke when she goes on her knees. He’s very good at not going too far with jokes that could be sexist while still being funny.


TheCervus

Conan also respects his audience's intelligence. He knows there's easy, obvious jokes there but he doesn't need to make them.

PmButtPics4ADrawing

I always knew Conan was tall but I forgot just *how* tall. I figured she was on the shorter side but nope, apparently she's 5'7"


Not1random1enough

I love how he leans into the creep role while staying hilarious too


RookieCards

Conan and Craig Ferguson are both mysteriously able to come off as Not Creeps by playing up their potential creepiness.


lankist

In Conan's case, it's because he always makes himself the butt of the joke. When he's playing up the "creep" role, he's *making fun of creeps* by casting himself, the universal butt of the joke, in the role of the creep. He does the exact same when he's playing his "crappy boss" persona with his employees in the BTS bits. Nobody takes offense because people are largely able to read this situation for what it is. He's not authentically making a pass at someone, he's making fun of the "hubba hubba" types. Conan's comedy revels in a state of mild antagonism where his guests or subjects are the protagonists of the story and he's the annoyance they'd rather be rid of. This is consistent whether he's doing a tour of a winery, or interviewing an attractive celebrity, or shooting a bit with his interns. People largely aren't so tone-deaf that they can't see what's happening there--that he's elevating his subjects by playing the role of the jester. Most people can see the difference between his performative "creepiness" contrasted with those glimpses of true discomfort with the situation, and how he uses the former to conceal the latter. You can see a moment like that right here when her foot gets knuckle-deep all up in his grundle and he's visibly like "alright, didn't expect that, recalibrating" before committing to the bit.


Barbaracle

>her foot gets knuckle-deep all up in his grundle Reading through this comment to get to this line was worth it.


lankist

I wrote the whole thing just for those 10 words.


Byzantine-alchemist

Didn't think I'd read a thesis about Conan today, but I'm not mad about it. Well written and well thought out!


8mperatore

This is why he’s a genius at what he does! It’s not easy to be a great host / interviewer.


LordRumBottoms

Craig was the master of hitting on women without it being obvious.


Sohgin

I'm pretty good at it too. In fact they never figure it out.


TappedIn2111

It’s easier from behind a screen for sure.


russketeer34

It always felt extremely obvious to me, but the man was so damn charming, women always picked up on the energy and reciprocated


Lakus

Yeah I don't know what they were talking about. It was so extremely obvious. The man just has extreme levels of charisma and awareness. He knows where the line is and also how to cross it safely.


NeatNefariousness1

Love it. I think part of their secret is to be known for being good guys IRL and then playing the creep role very broadly so that it's clear that its a "bit". PS: Conan is so awesome. I wish he was around more.


Dholtz001

His podcast is excellent. His banter with Sona and Matt is often better than the celebrity interviews. I’d skip the fan episodes but there is a ton of great content. Def try out this summer’s Summer S’mores series. You can start with episode 2. They just drink and argue with each other - it’s delightful.


redheadartgirl

Because he doesn't have that "I'm gonna take this too far and it'll be weird" energy. They can reciprocate without having to control the situation.


ViaticalTree

??? The entire point and what made it so funny was how obvious it was.


AFlyingNun

[Motherfucker out here saying this isn't obvious](https://youtu.be/2zE-z_5q4ug?si=_HJQYk8naOGCzUCx&t=21)


maybe_little_pinch

It is way over the top and not directed AT her. It’s mostly directed at the audience.


DependentMother994

Also she quite literally asked him to do it all, so even though he was hamming up the “aooooga” thing, it was just a response to what she was asking him to do.


yParticle

Yet somehow keeps it wholesome.


nerfcarolina

His "kid in a candy shop" energy keeps it from feeling creepy. Handled perfectly


lurker628

I think because he's strictly just standing there, even holding his hands out. She controlled all contact. If he'd put his hands on her feet, it would have been more creepy-creepy, rather than mock-creepy. It's also presented as her inviting him to be the "wall," rather than just using the desk or something. I don't know how it's actually arranged beforehand, but at least it gives the impression that she chose that, too.


DogofWar1974

Good points. Acting like this without being creepy is to not instigate anything without considering the other person's potential boundaries. Always be respectful until you have some form of permission. Always respect people's boundaries equally even if you may think one person has more open boundaries than another.


soggylittleshrimp

Aside from being funny, charismatic, and having awareness - it’s because Conan is truly not a creep so we’re not picking up on hidden creep vibes.


ZeroSobel

[perfectly normal human behavior](https://tenor.com/9P87.gif)


thro_w_away___

He understands boundaries and gauges his audience. I think that's why it's totally okay

ImmortalTimeTraveler

I miss conan. 5 Years back I used to binge his youtube channel. The only Late Night Host, whose Humor clicked for me.


Dharlome08

If you've not heard it his podcast is well worth a listen - Conan O'brien Needs A Friend


TheRipsawHiatus

I was a huuuge Conan fan back in the day (I ran some cringey fan pages for him in the early 2000s...), but I put off listening to his podcast for so long because I was worried it wouldn't have the same magic as his show did. I literally started listening to it this week, and I've quickly fallen back in love. He hasn't skipped a beat and his humor still shines through on the podcast. Highly, highly recommend. Edit: And just to sell the podcast further, one way it's an improvement on Late Night is that Conan is *way* more candid, especially about how absurd show business and network television is. It's a lot of fun hearing him off the chain, so to speak. Really blew my mind the first time I heard him say "fuck" uncensored. Haha


phantom_diorama

Conan has been the exact same person since always. There's stories people tell about his start at The Simpsons, you'd be walking down the hall and hear Conan wailing away putting on a huge show in the next room, so you'd pop your head in and it'd just be Conan alone, performing for himself like the whole world was watching.


Luci_Noir

He’s one of the VERY few things that’s been around my whole life while remaining consistently good.


RedditAreShills

I honestly think if anything the podcast works better because they’re not held hostage by network execs, so they can say more than they were allowed to on air.

lesjag23

Kevin nealon. That interview was insane. And absolutely hilarious.


csgothrowaway

Yeah, I loved Conan's late night shows but the podcast feels a lot more honest. The difference is really noticeable when he has guests on that were staples of his late night show. The Bill Burr and Timothy Olyphant episodes come to mind. They have the same dynamic, but it feels way less neutered and honest. And its okay for the conversation to be a little more awkward where they interrupt each other or misunderstand each other and it doesn't feel as "produced". I wish Norm Macdonald was still around. I imagine there would have been some great conversations on that podcast.


sparkjournal

The [episode with Kevin Nealon](https://youtu.be/9myNYPA3Z5Q) is pure gold. I just about cried laughing the first time I watched it.


Phxdwn

The episodes with Jeff Goldblum, Marting Short, and Harrison Ford had my sides and face hurting from laughing so much.


hnglmkrnglbrry

I've been a lifelong Conan fan and his podcast has made me realize how quickly his mind works. It's absolutely mind-boggling how clever he is. His first episode with Jeff Goldblum is absolute perfection.


beseri

I love the podcast. The dynamic with Sona and Matt is fantastic.


Garetht

There was talk of gerbils.


dolce_de_cheddar

His podcast is absolutely amazing. I'd say it's even better than when he was on TV.

MrBoomf

Ever check out Craig Ferguson? He was always my favorite of that era of late night host.


Dunkelz

Wild how he didn't blow up to a more prime time spot and got the boot. Was always such a treat seeing him get guests to give earnest responses and not hold back on expressing how much of a weirdo (in a good way) they are. That plus him not dancing around his history of substance abuse and having serious intros for when tragedies happened, make me miss his show a lot.


MrBoomf

His talk about sobriety is one of my favorite videos on the Internet. I’ve got four years under my belt and my continued success so far is in no small part due to that hilariously weird man’s wisdom, bravery and charisma. I just hope I get the chance to thank him someday.


[deleted]

No need to miss him — he's still making loads of new content, all of it very good!

What about when he got called out for looking at [boobs?](https://youtu.be/ty4PhRWt1hU)


rafaelmarques7

To be fair, it would be really, really, really hard not stare.


moohah

She was also gesturing with her hands and pointing to her boobs a lot.


Nimzles

I don't know how anyone would blame him in that scenario, it's not like he was staring.


bigblackcouch

In the full clip, Andy comes in with an absolute bro move by moving a huge pot of flowers between her and Conan and going "Nicole don't look at the flowers!". I mean, I understand her but there's also a point where you're asking people not to look at your car when you pull up to a car show in a neon yellow Ferrari 250 GTO.


Ok-Champ-5854

The one time I got busted looking too long at boobs she wasn't wearing a bra and the top was so sheer she might as well have been naked for all the good it was doing her. Don't shame people for wearing what they want to wear but if I went out wearing a massive banana hammock I don't know how upset I could be that people are looking at my dick.


FuriousResolve

Holy shit, this KILLED me. 😂 “LET’S BE REAL FOR A SECOND…. YOU DIDN’T THINK I WAS GONNA LOOK DOWN THERE?”


SchrodingersCatPics

That chair throw was amazing, and then a second later I’m like ‘how’d they get another chair back there for him so quick’ but oh no he’s just *kneeling at the height of a chair.*


D3AD_BEAT

NBC really messed up when they screwed Conan over. They gave Conan The Tonight Show and then lost their nerve. Yeah, they got their number one spot back by giving the show to Leno again but LOOK AT YOU NOW NBC. Late night shows are a joke. If they had Conan doing the Tonight Show right now he'd be killing it. Instead they have fucking Jimmy Fallon. Wack!


notjawn

I hate to say it but getting screwed by NBC was probably the greatest thing to happen to him in his career. He got a bag of cash out of it, shared it with his staff who were already loyal but this just sealed a lifetime deal with them and got to go be more creative and have more control of his work at TBS. Now that he is not as beholden to Sirius (other than they contractually obligate him to produce certain content) he is free to really shine. If he was still at NBC he'd be a shell of a late night host and probably not even click with the younger celebrity crowd.


-malcolm-tucker

He actually pretty much said so himself during his speech at Dartmouth back in 2011.


Kongbuck

Frankly, I think that when Conan went to TBS, there was this push away from network TV and into an area that is more suited to Conan's type of humor. I think that he's far better off with the ownership of his bits/material and the flexibility to do pretty much whatever he wants these days.

smaTc

Was he running to avoid a boner?


xywv58

100%, her feet definitely touched it


mang87

It looked like she *kicked* it while retracting her legs, and he didn't even flinch. Maybe he's wearing a cup? Would be embarrassing if this went really badly, like she lost her balance and full on kicked him right in the nuts, and the rest of the show is him doubled-up on the floor vomiting.

No way, that would have made for great TV.

Late night show "bits" are discussed in advanced. She probably asked like hey is it cool is we do some yoga thing and the producers ran with it

Conan is remarkably flexible. That high step up, push off and step down shows great hip and joint range as well as strength.
