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.
I'd hate to see his orgasm face.
I think we've already heard his orgasm yell.
im pretty sure we not only have it committed to memory but have all at one time or another attempted to recreate it.
This is more apropos if you remember that one of Conan's "low brow" characters was "Chewbacca Stuck in a Glory Hole"
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.
i shit you not, that hadnt even crossed my mind. Now I realize the opportunity I have missed.
To paraphrase Dr. Spangler, network TV is dead.
Happy birthday
Conanakin! That is awesome.
Seconded, that was the sleeper-hit of the strip.
Panel 4 needs to be a wallpaper in the vault. 🙂
the original artwork is probably too small to actually make a desktop.
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
non-Conan fans probably wont get any of this. BUt I am one, so it makes me LOL.
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, 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.
Does he have a B.M.F. monologue mic?
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..
-D
should I be looking for something in the mail?
Haha and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is Watto.
holy shit. they wouldnt even have to change the voice.
Oldy Olson can be old Ben.
Cant rush art man!
What, no Max Weinberg joke?
I guess max would be han solo.
He's already half got the proper name.. he's Max Rebo! Hopefully without the added SE singer chick-thing though.
EPIC FAIL!
Even if the comic is FTW!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So does that makes Johnny Carson….Yoda. Makes predictions about the future. dies and only makes a ghostly appearance's on occasion.

Holy Crap that's perfect
Happy Birthday (yesterday) Joel!!!
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.
