Best Skits From Conan O’Brien
by Cliff on May.19, 2009, under Laugh, punks!
I didn’t even realize they’d collected a bunch of the best skit material that was on during Conan’s run until earlier this evening, otherwise I probably would have made a post like this a couple of months ago! Anyway, a few of my favorites from the show’s run were on there so I shall now help spread the spores of the Conan virus around these Internets like a plague of giggles.
First up, old time baseball. He visits a group of guys who play old fashioned baseball…as in 1860’s baseball. 1860’s rules, uniforms, clothes…all of it. Hmmm…the embedder ain’t workin’, so I shall find them on Youtube.
Secondly, when Attack of the Clones came out, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was sent to speak with the people standing in line. Normally I hate Triumph and find him rather lame…this skit was frigging hilarious.
Part 1
Part 2
And finally, no ‘best of Conan’ can be complete without mention of Pimpbot 5000. If you haven’t seen early Conan, you missed this character before they retired him.

Ah, I had not seen that baseball skit in years. I love the reaction to the plane flying overhead.
Regarding the mascots, didn’t they have a sort of “mascot battle” at some point? Or has age defeated my memory?

That does ring a bell…hmmm…I can find no such sketch anywhere, but that really does sound familiar.
