Foo - Conan O'Brien is not funny!!!!!!!!!

Conan O'Brien is not funny!!!!!!!!!

the guys in my office talked about this. we think it may be a generation thing. i find him funny but my coworkers do not. for reference, i am 24 and they are all about my parents age.

edit:

wait, whats this doing in the general form? THATS not funny... we need to get this moved.

Then you won't understand this at all:

on the contrary, I find conan quite funny. His simpsons era writing was really the golden times for the simpsons.
monty python is very good comedy as well.

what is not very good comedy is carrot top.

haha, i just watched it and found it quite funny :)

i try and keep myself "cultured" my favorite music for instance is "the 9th configuration" the 1980 film by william peter blatty.

Conan O'Brien is not funny!!!!!!!!!

none of them are funny, now their writers, their funny!

Plus his ratings sucked compared to Leno's @ 11:35, another reason NBC wanted him gone. The NBC Brass are total friggin idiots.

Carrot Top is just scary. An example of 'roids and comestic surgery gone horribly wrong.

I've always thought Conan sucked from the get-go when they gave him Letterman's slot.

And the stuff about it "being generational" is such BS. Funny is funny, regardless of age. Conan is not funny. I agree with pcad... NBC is run by morons. When something works - like Jay - you leave it the hell alone.

All TV is about is ratings, which is what gets the advertising dollars to keep the network on in the first place. Although I think with the advent of DVR and Tivo, it really doesn't matter what time a show is on because people will watch it when they want to IF they like the show. If they could start doing Nielsen's on DVRs, perhaps cancellation decisions would be affected.

If Conan jumps to Fox, he'll suck there too.

incorrect.

Their funny what?

Their funny what?

Their Funny Valentine.

Agreed. I'm not a big Conan fan, but the NBC decision makers really screwed the pooch on this one and now they're trying to blame Conan. Leno didn't help; he never should have asked for (or demanded?) to put, basically, his same show on at 10PM. Leno should have walked away and they need to give Conan a chance to build his audience. His comedy is a bigger change than that of Carson to Leno.

leno does comedy?

I have noticed, that since Letterman was busted, his stuff has been a little better.

He has written for and been head writer for some of the most successful shows of the last 20 years. Yeah, he's a talentless hack.

I bet you're an excellent writer.

Never thought Conan was funny; for that matter, it's been years since I thought Letterman was funny. Leno took years, too, before he STARTED being funny -- the first few years after Carson were truly bleak. (As far as Jimmy Kimmel, I'm still wondering what degenerate act he performed, and for who, to even get on TV.)

its funny watching them complain

Craig Ferguson is the one that is not funny. Every show starts the same. He walks out onto the stage and makes a couple of stupid gestures and the whole audience laughs like a bunch of hyenas. I just don't get it.

I don't find any of the late night guys very funny. Their introductory stand up schticks are usually predictable and boring. Letterman's top 10 thing is now so contrived and forced that it doesn't even blip on the relevance radar. On the other hand "The Colbert Report" I find genuinely funny.

Conan O'Brien is not funny!!!!!!!!!

Correct

I can't stand Conan--glad I am not alone. Can't stand the current Letterman, either, but liked the old one. Same with Leno.

I loved Carlson.

I am 31, so between generations, I guess. But I never thought farts were funny when I was 12 years old, but I do now. What gives.

Correct

compared to that ass with a chin, incorrect.

I loved Carlson.

I don't know if this is supposed to be Johnny Carson or Carson Daily.. Either way it's funny. Daily sux and you were 13 when johnny went off the air and the last few years the show a shell of it's old self.

Ernie Kovacs was funnier than all of them rolled into one.

Being funny is just part of being a successful late night talk show host. I think on a purely comic level, Leno, Letterman, and O'Brien are all funnier than Johnny Carson was. Yet, Carson was a far better host than all three of them. Go figure that one out.

compared to that ass with a chin, incorrect.

In that context, correct.

Johnny Carson, of course.

I remember that he used to have Leno sub for him instead of showing re-runs.

Call me crazy, but I also liked Tom Snyder who was on after Letterman.

Love Conan and hate Jay. If I wanted Doritos and Collectible cars I wouldn't have had kids. Now red hair. That's accessible.

He was no Joe Franklin...

How did Dick Cavett get left out of this thread?

Johnny Carson, of course.

I remember that he used to have Leno sub for him instead of showing re-runs.

Letterman also. And Carson frequently sent jokes in to Letterman until he died. He did not do that for Jay. He wanted NBC to give Letterman the Tonight Show.

He was one of the best TV interviewers ever. If you want to see how to interview someone and do a great job, watch old Carson show reruns.

I always thought Martin Mull did a great job.

team conan all day

Martin Mull had his own show? What a terrible Idea. I own that exact same suit.

Conan O'Brien is not funny!!!!!!!!!

Funny peculiar? Or funny haha?

He and Adam Sandler (in a JETS t-shirt) weren't bad last night. (http://www.hulu.com/watch/121982/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien-adam-sandler-part-2) Sandler: (Referring to NBC execs) "Nothing But C*******s", impersonating his manager. :lol::lol::lol:

That was great.

Since his financial future isn't as secure as Conan's, Andy seems hesitant to laugh at Sandler's story. :innocent:

$33m, I think thats pretty ****ing funny!

I liked Conans reply!

Somehow, I think the buyout will have Conan giggling.

I can't claim to know the details, but the reports are that Conan also secured $12M from NBC for the show crew plus is also kicking some of his $33M back to the crew.

He has plenty of money. It's all about pride now.

I'm a 53 y/o male. Was always a Leno fan, boycotted Conan when he took Leno's place. Never watched his show when he took Leno's spot.
Got to have my Monday night Leno fix....."Headline News".

No Andy Richter is rich as hell. Didn't you see Andy Richter Controls The Universe?

Plus, they'll all be working when Fox picks them up. Although with all the money he's spending his last couple days, they might get nervous about that;)
