Calaroga Shark Media. Welcome to the Top eleven, the podcast
(00:23):
that counts down the Top eleven things from eleven to one. Today,
we're diving into the hilarious world of late night comedy
with the Top eleven Conan O'Brien sketches or characters, from
iconic bits to unforgettable characters. These moments have kept us
laughing for decades, so grab your popcorn and get ready
to laugh. Kicking things off is the Walker Texas Ranger Lever,
(00:46):
a brilliantly absurd bit where Conan would pull a lever
to play random, often ridiculous clips from the classic TV
show Walker Texas Ranger. The sheer randomness of the clips,
combined with Conan's deadpan commentary, made this segment a fan
favorite and a staple of his show. The Walker Texas
Ranger Lever exemplifies Conan's nack for turning something simple into
(01:07):
comedic gold, whether it was a bizarre fight scene or
a hilariously melodramatic moment. Each clip brought unexpected laughs and
showcased Conan's unique sense of humor. This segment remains a
beloved part of his late night legacy. Next up, Triumph,
the insult comic dog, the foul mouthed, cigar chomping puppet
that roasts everything and everyone in sight. Voiced by Robert Smigel,
(01:31):
Triumph has become a cult favorite, delivering biting and hilarious
commentary on everything from red carpet events to political conventions.
Triumph's unapologetic humor and outrageous antics have made him one
of Conan's most enduring characters. His sharp wit and willingness
to say what others won't have resulted in some of
the most memorable and laugh out loud moments in late
(01:52):
night history. For those who can take a joke, Triumph
truly is a comedy icon. Sliding into number nine is
Knehan's visit to the American Girl Store, where his childlike
wonder and absurdity shine through. Watching a grown man navigator
store designed for young girls, Conan's interactions with the dolls
and the staff are both awkward and hilarious, making this
(02:13):
segment a standout. This bit highlights Conan's talent for situational
comedy and his ability to find humour in the most
unexpected places. His genuine curiosity mixed with his over the
top antics creates a perfect blend of awkwardness and hilarity.
Conan at the American Girl's Store is a testament to
his improvisational skills and comedic genius. The String Dance, Conan's
(02:38):
signature move, dances into the eighth spot. This simple yet
iconic bit involves Conan pretending to pull invisible strings from
his hips, resulting in a ridiculous dance that never fails
to get laughs. It's a classic example of Conan's physical
comedy and his ability to turn the simplest actions into
memorable moments. The String Dance has become synonymous with Conan's
(03:01):
unique brand of humour. It's silly, unexpected, and perfectly encapsulates
his playful spirit. Whether he's doing it on stage or
in unexpected places, the String Dance always brings a smile
to fans faces and showcases Conan's endless creativity. Conan's Clueless
Gamer series takes the seventh spot, where he hilariously attempts
(03:22):
to play and review video games with minimal success. Joined
by various celebrities and gaming experts. Conan's lack of gaming
skills and witty commentary create a comedic gold mine for
both gamers and non gamers alike. Clueless Gamer highlights Conan's
self deprecating humour and his ability to connect with different audiences.
(03:42):
His genuine confusion and frustration, paired with his quick wit,
make for an entertaining and relatable experience. This segment has
become a fan favourite and a testament to Conan's versatility
as a comedian. In the Year two thousand, a bit
that started in the late nineties and predicted absurd future events,
illuminates the sixth spot. Conan and his sidekick would don
(04:06):
futuristic robes and flashlights, delivering hilariously bizarre and often nonsensical
predictions about the future. This sketch perfectly captures Conan's love
for the absurd and his flare for the dramatic. The
contrast between the solemn delivery and the ridiculous predictions creates
a comedic tension that never fails to elicit laughs. In
(04:27):
the Year two thousand remains a quintessential part of Conan's
comedy repertoire. Bounding into number five is the Masturbating Bear,
one of Conan's most infamous and outrageous characters. This oversized
plush bear would appear on stage performing a very suggestive
and wildly inappropriate dance, much to the audience's shock and amusement.
(04:49):
The Masturbating Bear exemplifies Conan's willingness to push boundaries and
embrace the absurd, its crude, its ridiculous, and its undeniably funny.
This character has become a legendary part of Conan's Late
night Antics, embodying his fearless approach to comedy. Conan's remote
segments where he steps out of the studio and interacts
(05:09):
with the world land in the fourth spot. Whether he's
visiting a Korean spa, spending a day as a Mary
Kay consultant, or exploring countries around the world, these segments
showcase Conan's improvisational genius and his ability to find humor
in any situation. These remote segments highlight Conan's charm, curiosity,
(05:30):
and quick wit. His interactions with everyday people and unusual
settings create authentic and often hilarious moments. Conan's ability to
connect with diverse cultures and experiences makes these segments a
beloved part of his show. Marching into the third spot
is the FedEx Pope, a brilliantly absurd character combining the
roles of the Pope and a FedEx delivery man complete
(05:53):
with papal robes in a FedEx cap This character delivered
hilarious and irreverent commentary on both religious and corporate life.
The FedEx Pope is a perfect example of Conan's talent
for blending disparate concepts into a single hilariously absurd character.
It's this kind of creative mash up that sets Conan
apart and keeps audiences coming back for more. The FedEx
(06:15):
Pope is a testament to Conan's inventive and boundary pushing comedy.
Sliding in at number two is Pimpbot five thousand, a
robot with the personality of a nineteen seventies pimp. With
his metallic exterior and outrageous dialogue, Pimpbot five thousand became
an instant hit. Combining Conan's love for robots and over
the top characters. Pimpbot five thousand is a testament to
(06:38):
Conan's ability to create memorable and unique characters. The juxtaposition
of a futuristic robot with a flamboyant pimp persona creates
a comedic tension that's both bizarre and entertaining. Pimpbot five
thousand remains one of Conan's most iconic and beloved characters.
Hang tight, folks, we're taking a quick break. When we
(06:58):
come back, we'll reveal the number one cod And O'Brien's
sketch or character. You won't want to miss it. Welcome
back to the Top eleven. We've laughed our way through
some of Conan O'Brien's most memorable sketches and characters, and
(07:21):
now it's time for the grand finale. Drum roll, Please,
let's unveil the number one Conan O'Brien sketch or character.
Reving into the top spot is the Desk Drive, where
Conan takes his desk for a spin around the studio,
often crashing through walls and wreaking havoc. This sketch is
a perfect example of Conan's physical comedy and his ability
(07:41):
to turn a simple idea into something wildly entertaining. The
Desk Drive showcases Conan's fearless approach to comedy and his
willingness to embrace the absurd. Whether he's navigating through the
audience or driving through a fake city scape, the Desk
Drive is always unpredictable and hilariously chaotic. It's a classic
conuh bit that perfectly encapsulates his unique brand of humor.
(08:03):
And that's a wrap on the Top eleven Conan O'Brien
sketches or characters. Thanks for joining us on this hilarious
journey through late night comedy. Remember, laughter is the best medicine,
and Conan O'Brien has given us plenty of it. Until
