In The Year 2000 In A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Short post because today is my birthday: I thought the new Conan-powered Tonight Show was good. Leno is a hack. Jimmy Fallon is terrible. There are a few Conan-specific references in this one that many of you probably won’t identify with. I started watching Conan when I was in middle school when his show was little more than public access with a slightly higher budget. It was frighteningly weird and I loved it. As it got more mainstream I stopped watching but I always got the feeling that Conan O’Brien was “one of us.” He’s just a lanky red-haired geek who happens to have a really high profile job on TV. I wish him the best.
- Late Night with Conan O’Brien: Preserving the Masturbating Bear
- Conan’s new stage looks like Super Mario.
- Conan O’Brien’s ‘Tonight Show’ Debut Is a HIT
- Will Ferrell!! Andy Richter!! Pearl Jam!! NBC-TV Launches THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH CONAN O’BRIEN!!

I'd hate to see his orgasm face.

Wait, there’s a strip about a masturbating bear, and Josh isn’t in it? Something’s not quite right…

At what point were you under the impression that Josh would ever be unable to find enough partners that he would have to resort to masturbation.

oh lord. Can't win 'em all. Sometimes you gotta take things into your own hands.

I was under the impression that Josh liked bears, masturbating ones even more so.

To paraphrase Dr. Spangler, network TV is dead.

Panel 4 needs to be a wallpaper in the vault.

Boy I wish I understood this comic! I've never once watched Conan. I guess I've never needed to. Late night TV is sort of a, "Oh god I've got to deal with my spiteful bitch wife and my stupid dead end job, release me from my cares as I drift off to sleep, sweet, sweet Jay" thing in my mind, always has been.
also HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEL

Seconded, that was the sleeper-hit of the strip.
June 4th, 2009 at 12:29 am
I think we've already heard his orgasm yell.

Happy birthday, Joel…you Fancy Bastard, you.

That would make Craig Ferguson Mace Windu: the one that really is too cool to be there, but we're happy he is.

im pretty sure we not only have it committed to memory but have all at one time or another attempted to recreate it.
June 4th, 2009 at 2:22 am
i shit you not, that hadnt even crossed my mind. Now I realize the opportunity I have missed.
June 4th, 2009 at 2:23 am
non-Conan fans probably wont get any of this. BUt I am one, so it makes me LOL.

That's not Conan, it's the president of Finland. We switched them when he came to visit couple of years ago, and now you laugh at our mrs. president's jokes while we our towering, flame-haired leader plans to declare a war against Sweden.
…Okay, that was so 2006 but it's every Finn's civic duty to remember the glorious Conan mentions, and the visit, forever. It may not be written in our law, but it's definitely in the Finnish DNA.
Oh and Happy Birthday! I gotta go to post office now, wish I had remembered earlier but anyhow..

I'm actually a Conan fan from back in the day….I loved his show the best before he was ever popular before Andy ever left. He had the best most randomly fucked up skits ever. WAAAAAY better than SNL.

Happy Birthday (yesterday) Joel!!!
June 4th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Holy Crap that's perfect
June 4th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
This is more apropos if you remember that one of Conan's "low brow" characters was "Chewbacca Stuck in a Glory Hole"
June 4th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
the original artwork is probably too small to actually make a desktop.
June 4th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Does he have a B.M.F. monologue mic?
June 4th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
should I be looking for something in the mail?
June 4th, 2009 at 11:28 pm

Oldy Olson can be old Ben.
June 4th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
I guess max would be han solo.

That's funny, on Facebook we were reacting to the news that Conan's backdrop is a copy of stuff from Mario Bros. We decided Leno is Mario, Conan is Luigi (both were based on rather physical comparisons), Fallon is Yoshi. I originally had Carson Daly as Toad, but he's not short like I thought he was. That makes Letterman Sonic the Hedgehog, and Ferguson is Tails. And Kimmel, running 3rd place in a two-horse race, must then be Crash Bandicoot.
And by that measure, Carson would have to be Donkey Kong or Pac-Man or something.

Happy Birthday! It was my birthday too! I hope it was a good one.

He's already half got the proper name.. he's Max Rebo! Hopefully without the added SE singer chick-thing though.
