That's actually a great way to develop that type of humour, just read the comments section on those type of websites, even certain UA-cam comments. That's how I developed mine, only issue I have is bringing that humour out in real life and using that on new people.
4. Conan is very humble. The most jokes coming from him are the jokes at his own expence. (Joking about his weird looks or lovable creepiness etc.) 5. Jokes + drama. He often mixes jokes with his/his character's internal drama. That's what makes his jokes not superficial but sooo freakin tasty and powerful!
I was born without> how the hell am I supposed to be a good judge of comedy if I can't taste it. You know what?! You may have had the opportunity to enjoy ice cream with your loving father but I only got the ice cream and it tasted like sadness.
True humor takes intelligence. Conan is a brilliant gentleman. Behind it all, he has a beautiful heart. When that business with Jay Leno was going on, he took all the people from his crew on his show at the time with him, but when they were figuring what they were doing, he paid his people with his own money. He is the finest TV Show host, rather it be a normal show or a talk show. He deserves where he is... unlike many in the industry.
ARCtrooperblueleader His travel show on Netflix was hilarious and insightful. There’s such much bad silly over the top humour when all you have do is be yourself and use examples that are relatable. His remotes are brilliant especially the ones with Jordan and Kevin Hart and Ice cube
Claudio Daigdigan mixed with his fake narcissism is amazing. He always jokes that he is physical perfection, but whenever someone says he looks good he shits on himself. It compliments his humor very well
Somebody: the sky is blue. Charisma on command: as you can see this person is highly educated and can make accurate assumptions based on the neurological frontal lobe which in fact reveals the sky as being the third color of the color spectrum.
@@Cyberfan2167 my problem is I am not a fangirl, I speak harsh truth I love swallowing the facts no matter how bitter they are I alwasy use my logic instead of using emotions
Conan>>Kimmel>>Ferguson>>Corden>>Letterman....& eh >>Leno had its moments. Every other late night talk show host is dismissible. (Also I don't know enough about Graham Norton, just start watching him, seems fun).
Doubling down can be very funny, but it also carries the danger of turning the original joke stale, you need to be aware of when the the jokes and subsequent ad ons start to become old, and to not overdo it. Great Video!
That's where we get the term "you killed it" however there are rare moments when you bring a joke so far beyond that point that it once again becomes funny
I thought one of the reasons he had such great wit was the fact that he often makes jokes at his own expense or ridiculously overblown statements about himself.
An element of what makes "A tuxedo from the year 3015" funnier than "clothes from the future." is the additional syllables. The additional beats to hammer down the inflection. That's why many times when choosing random number they will use the number "seventeen" because it has many syllables... making it funnier. This is a real thing, pay attention to how often comics use larger words, especially, numbers, when trying to tell a sarcastic or ironic joke.
yeah! Conan is hillarious, the only person that can compete against him is Ellen Degeneres imo. Kimmel can be sarcastic too. Fallon is very charismatic and a great performer, and also has the best game segments. But overall I enjoy them all and I am glad they are all different and get the best out of them. So no need to fight over who is a better host, they all have their uniqueness.
Jason Eaton how is it a twist on the unoriginal comment everyone needed to use not so long ago, how is it a twist when he simply used it, where's the actual twist?????
weeell he is often inappropriate, but it's part of his character, and it is obvious to ppl he interacts with. He doesn't offend anyone with his humor, since he is poking fun at his own persona first and foremost.
Here's a video idea: I don't know if I am just socially awkward or just an introvert but in group situations I have always had problems with getting my turn of speaking. There seems to be some kind of quiet cues when the next person is about to have a turn to speak. I always end up interrupting someone, then stopping, but the others seem to be able to just chip in without interrupting. That leads to me being "the quiet girl" in those situations. Or - even worse - someone "hands me" the word and I get caught off guard and answer the question awkwardly. No problem in 1-1 conversations when people suddenly find out I have lots to say and that I am not that shy. Enough about me. Could you do a video breaking down exactly those cues (maybe with good/bad examples) how to know when you can get into the conversation exactly at the right time? Maybe there is some talk show with celebrities you could do an analysis of.
You are putting social filters on yourself. My advice for you is to get drunk but not too drunk. But get drunk enough so that when you are sober you can remember how your behavior was when you were drunk. Analyse how socially free the drunk version of yourself was, and learn from it.
Love this! Conan is just sharp as a knife in terms of wit. Can I make a request for making a video about Elon Musk and his essence of inspiring people despite his lack of natural charisma? Thanks!
Conan has been around comedy writing and has been public speaking telling jokes and entertaining crowds every night for 25 years. He's also a Harvard graduate with a lot of knowledge and life experience under his belt. That's the real reason why he is so charismatic and witty.
This is all bare bones basic....any remotely funny person at all will do all of these things on a regular basis. Conan is funny because his specificity and "out of context" remarks are not only on point with accuracy but also relatable, relevant, and his delivery is flawless. You can do all of these things but if your references aren't understood or are simply not very good it won't matter. You'll end up like Amy Schumer doubling down on self depreciating humor about your own crotch. Conan has several advantages over most people and he "performs" to get everything out of it. There is a camera, an audience(whether they're there or not) and both him and the person he's talking to know this. Acting like an idiot isn't that funny all the time, however if your buddy is acting like an idiot when there's a camera and thousands of people watching you both, it becomes hilarious because there's so much more at stake. Conan thrives on this pressure, where most people become shy, you'll notice in Conan's remotes that when he starts acting like an idiot people pull away a bit at first, they may take a step back, cover their mouth/part of their face and laugh a bit at him, but watch the end of his remotes, he lures those people in because they know they'll never look as ridiculous as he does infront of the camera and they actually feel quite comfortable with him. It's an incredible gift that he has. Conan is both the Master of talk shows, and remotes by far.
Both Conan and Any Schumer are funny and skilled in their delivery. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean it went over the heads of everyone else.
@@TheRealOtakuEdits They're both different comedians with a different style. I've loved Conan since I was a child, and he's a legend. But Amy Schumer is uniquely skilled and talented as well.
Please make a video breaking down Conan’s jokes specifically. I’m convinced he’s the funniest person in the world when it comes to just hanging out with people irl.
What's wierd is that I've been using these comedy techniques for years and I didn't even realize I was until watching this video. I guess when you've been watching Conan and game grumps as long as I have, techniques like doubling down just become instinct.
I wish I could be this funny in real life. I’m always so worried that I’ll end up making some inappropriate joke instead because I’m trying to hard to remember all of these tips!
From what i've seen, Reynolds relies on some of his acting skills. Making his delivery unique and excellent. His jokes aren't particularly good, but he will deliver lines with personality. Listen to him make jokes or observations. His personality adjusts to make the joke or line more dry etc. He may sound cold and serious when saying something funny and it gives a contrast that adds to the humor. At least from what I've seen of him. If you watch him in Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place he does this a lot. Making him easily the funniest character on the show.
My boyfriend is very witty. I have come to the conclusion that you either have the ability to be witty or you don't. Either you view the world in a slightly askew perspective, or you don't. I will tell you the real trick... for a while I was afraid that my boyfriend was going to sometime say something insensitive to someone thinking he was being humorous. But it has never happened, not once. Sometimes when I think he has gone too far, I look at his audience (a waitress, store clerk, pizza delivery guy, etc.) and I can see by the smile, or sometimes the playful return banter, that he hasn't.
@Heather Watson I have a lifelong pal who is funny. Very quick, slight off-center mind. I have noticed that it is more difficult to get away with some humor in the real world when compared to a comedian performing. The audience has already given the performing comedian license to give them his or her best shot. When he says something that could come close to genuinely insulting the other person, he hits himself with an even more outrageous zinger. Ironically, over the years I have had some of my best heart-to-heart talks with him.
When I was in my late teens & early 20's I was extremely witty. I remember dicking around in online video games over voice, rapidfire just saying random goofy shit (hate the term but these days it would be considered "trolling") & I remember people in-game saying "Yo I've never laughed this hard in awhile" & my friend in the game saying "Dude I can't believe you've been going on for 45 mins" (the reason I was "trolling"- just making him uncomfortable since he was with his fancy college friends- I am a high school buddy). It definitely is a natural talent. I remember in conversation when someone said something my mind would literally rapid-fire search for any available angle/entry point for a joke like a damn Business Line Internet speed Google search. I got a lot of girls at that point. Unfortunately through the years (I am 32 now) I've been on & off a lot of prescription drugs for antidepressants. I've read that if you are on a steady, long-term regimen of SSRI-class anti-depressants, & then get off them, your brain almost cannot function the same without them. I also just read a health study concluding that 54% of long-term users of anti-depressants reported "Not feeling like themselves." I've been on so many god damn meds I feel like I have half the brain power I did when I was 20. Sorry for this rambling mess, I guess my point is: If someone, or even you, are witty, cherish it, & be careful of anti-depressant medications long-term, especially SSRI's. To feel kinda myself/witty again these days I literally need to get a perfect night's sleep & run like 3 miles, lol. Guess that's a good incentive to exercise.
You could say that the add on jokes also add more specificity to the joke as well. Both his specific comments and add ons, add more detail to the picture, allowing us to actually "see" the joke. I could imagine a tuxedo from 3015 now because of that detail but not if who were to just say future clothes. Vagueness makes it harder for us to visualize what a comedians getting at, and in turn makes it harder to connect with his/her point. So Conan's specific imagery and add ons really help us to connect with him. Awesome job on this video.
I have been trying some of these things and it's amazing, it's really been changing my interactions for the better 😀 thank you guys so much for these Charisma videos!
Patrick Bateman why not? I mean it can be interesting to analyse how he gets away with saying offensive things. It can be an interesting piece on how to do offensive branch of comedy right! There's a lot of freaking potential...
Thank you for this. I am working on being wittier and conan is a character that I've been enjoying since I was a kid. This video made me realize I'm on the right path.
all you have to do for that is hire a bunch of mediocre writers to give you jokes and then deliver them in a sort of post-sarcastic, slightly holier-than-thou manner
this is a great video. conans genius and wit has seemed to go unnoticed for a long time. watching his remotes, he is simply brilliant. a master at his craft, the fake laughing jimmys dont even come close
@@aarkdel and I'll give you another example "Ask me what the key to comedy is? - What is the k... - TIMING" See, that's an exaggeration of one of the concepts of the key to comedy. That is why it's funny :D
I do the doubling down thing with my best friend ALL THE TIME without realizing it. We've done it so often it's gotten to the point where we could just be near each other, see something, make a comment about it, and we'd start cracking up while our other friends just look at us.
I'm very witty in daily life and knew all of this subconciously, but your video did a great job explaining the traits that constitute wit. Great job, I liked this and learned a lot. And the Conan clips are hilarious.
I think the final list should include self-deprecation. If you're willing to make fun of yourself, everyone likes you more and the world becomes less scary/more fun. Now I gotta go watch Conan re-runs. Thank God for UA-cam.
He has different approaches to make something funny. His being outside-of-the-box contexts are somewhat original unlike other hosts. The other hosts I noticed needs some sort of references like a socially accepted reality to make something funny and relatable. Conan's gives us his own perspective of funny that's why he 'becomes' funny. I still don't understand why Jimmy Fallon's YT channel has more than 20 million subscribers and Conan's have almost 1/3. Conan's production doesn't need to many games for celebrities to be watched over and over. Team Coco only relies on unlimited amounts of creativity and they proved that it's sufficient enough to entertain people for more than 20 years.
nah cause I’ve been watching this channel just to see how celebrities vary in different things like humor, charisma, awareness, attraction, etc…… AND I JUST GOTTA SAY I WAS HAPPY I WAS BORN WITH ALL THESE TRAITS, it’s not very humble of me but in this new year I’m happy to point out the different personality characteristics I have and I’m happy I was born with all the things I listed cause I literally make the same jokes naturally that comedians like Conan, Graham Norton, Craig Ferguson, Kevin Heart, etc. it’s a lot of me to say I’m funny like these very highly successful people, but just cause I ain’t a celebrity yet don’t mean I ain’t close to them
He has an insane body of knowledge to draw from, from popular culture, to the classics, to the social and hard sciences; he has masterful command of language, diction, and vocabulary; his swift-delivery capability is responsive to new remarks as in the context of a dialogue, and is observational with when his senses interact with something new. Also key, he has the editorial capability to cut out what might come out quickly, but might be offensive or hurtful. From early in his career he consistently directed mockery at himself, and his self-deprecation always places the person he’s with in a position of power.
he is definitely my fave out of the other talk show host. and watching this video made me realize that this is my fave type of comedy. I think youtubers like jkfilms and davidso have a similar style.
Andrés Aguilar I liked Jay Leno until I saw him interview Kanye West. It happened soon after the Taylor Swift fiasco. Jay asked Kanye what his Mom would say to him if she was still alive. I’m not even a KW fan, but that question was completely uncalled for.
So glad your channel is giving Conan a much deserved shout-out, but out of the thousands of hours of footage of Conan over the years there are soooo many better clips you could've used. You guys obviously haven't watched enough of his remote bits... That's Conan at his finest.
Conan is the best comedian. Particularly because of his style or his ethics which is that he derives humour from situations and conversations. He never ridicules people for laughter. He doesn't make fun of people, he has fun with people. He can make the most boring and obvious routines also into a laugh riot. A great example is his clip with duck dynasty. Such a class comedy it is. Conan is just a great man. He is also a writer which speaks volumes about his observation skills.
Conan is the kind of late comedian I can relate to. He's like Mr. Lucky Charms got somehow air-bombed through the ceiling of a Macy's menswear department and hit every floor on the way down. Only stopped by his hair flip and a cardboard cutout of the Aqua di Gio man. What a standup guy! Always been one of my favorites.
Conan is, objectively, a genius.... Pretending to be a fool.
Well...I mean he did go to Harvard

Clever calling your right hand a gf
+Aaron Oliver I think he meant giraffe
Please make a video breaking down Conan’s jokes specifically. I’m convinced he’s the funniest person in the world when it comes to just hanging out with people irl.
I dont think wit can be taught, you either got it or you aint
love it! Great video as usual, thanks!

Great breakdown. How much time do you put in making these videos? I it's only 8:40 long but man its packed with quality. Keep it up!
What's wierd is that I've been using these comedy techniques for years and I didn't even realize I was until watching this video. I guess when you've been watching Conan and game grumps as long as I have, techniques like doubling down just become instinct.
Skeptical Sushi I'm not skeptical of your comment. I find it amusing.
Sushi Speaks why would you feel the need to write such a comment besides boosting your fragile ego?

I wish I could be this funny in real life. I’m always so worried that I’ll end up making some inappropriate joke instead because I’m trying to hard to remember all of these tips!
*please explain what it means to leave the context (in more detail) I just didn’t understand a little*
Boom. 26 years of comedic training in 8 minutes
Yes, I always sense a superficiality in these videos. This is probably not the ultimate breakdown of Conans humor but just a fraction of it
I stopped watching pornhub when i saw Charlie uploaded
why do you even want to know ???
Gordon Tang
Who wouldn't?
Arc Trooper Fives Relatable
I interrupted my wedding ceremony for it.
Hope you didn't continue.
Is Conan 7ft or is Kevin hart 5ft.
Kevin Hart is 5'2
Charisma on Command how tall is Justin Biebers?
Cammie010 Google it
Conan is 6 foot and Kevin is 5 foot 11.
Conan is a legit 6'4
Ryan Reynolds. you gotta do a breakdown of Ryans way of humor
From what i've seen, Reynolds relies on some of his acting skills. Making his delivery unique and excellent. His jokes aren't particularly good, but he will deliver lines with personality. Listen to him make jokes or observations. His personality adjusts to make the joke or line more dry etc. He may sound cold and serious when saying something funny and it gives a contrast that adds to the humor. At least from what I've seen of him. If you watch him in Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place he does this a lot. Making him easily the funniest character on the show.
Arup Mistry Reynolds relies on insults more than jokes.

My boyfriend is very witty. I have come to the conclusion that you either have the ability to be witty or you don't. Either you view the world in a slightly askew perspective, or you don't. I will tell you the real trick... for a while I was afraid that my boyfriend was going to sometime say something insensitive to someone thinking he was being humorous. But it has never happened, not once. Sometimes when I think he has gone too far, I look at his audience (a waitress, store clerk, pizza delivery guy, etc.) and I can see by the smile, or sometimes the playful return banter, that he hasn't.
Heather Watson Ok we get it, you are not single, don’t have to kept on rubbing the salt
@Heather Watson I have a lifelong pal who is funny. Very quick, slight off-center mind. I have noticed that it is more difficult to get away with some humor in the real world when compared to a comedian performing. The audience has already given the performing comedian license to give them his or her best shot. When he says something that could come close to genuinely insulting the other person, he hits himself with an even more outrageous zinger. Ironically, over the years I have had some of my best heart-to-heart talks with him.
I wonder if they are mild savants. There are those who have a savant syndrome in music. Why not comedy?
When I was in my late teens & early 20's I was extremely witty. I remember dicking around in online video games over voice, rapidfire just saying random goofy shit (hate the term but these days it would be considered "trolling") & I remember people in-game saying "Yo I've never laughed this hard in awhile" & my friend in the game saying "Dude I can't believe you've been going on for 45 mins" (the reason I was "trolling"- just making him uncomfortable since he was with his fancy college friends- I am a high school buddy). It definitely is a natural talent. I remember in conversation when someone said something my mind would literally rapid-fire search for any available angle/entry point for a joke like a damn Business Line Internet speed Google search. I got a lot of girls at that point.
Unfortunately through the years (I am 32 now) I've been on & off a lot of prescription drugs for antidepressants. I've read that if you are on a steady, long-term regimen of SSRI-class anti-depressants, & then get off them, your brain almost cannot function the same without them. I also just read a health study concluding that 54% of long-term users of anti-depressants reported "Not feeling like themselves." I've been on so many god damn meds I feel like I have half the brain power I did when I was 20. Sorry for this rambling mess, I guess my point is: If someone, or even you, are witty, cherish it, & be careful of anti-depressant medications long-term, especially SSRI's. To feel kinda myself/witty again these days I literally need to get a perfect night's sleep & run like 3 miles, lol. Guess that's a good incentive to exercise.
"I will tell you the real trick..." has no place in that comment.
I've watched this to gain any friend. Plz pray for me i'm lonely
🙏🙏
Ill be ur fren
💪💪💪
Hey that was funny, you're half way there
Me too
I just love it when people add absurdity to their premises.
Do an analysis of Craig Ferguson flirting with actresses.
I'd Really Love an Analysis like this on CHNADLER BING! Please Do it.
John Tremendol yeah I thought he was really funny until he met monika and everybody said his jokes were unfunny
John Tremendol *YES!*
He would be the type of a person who watches this channel's videos instead
“take a normal thing out of context”
so basically the tom meme
You could say that the add on jokes also add more specificity to the joke as well. Both his specific comments and add ons, add more detail to the picture, allowing us to actually "see" the joke. I could imagine a tuxedo from 3015 now because of that detail but not if who were to just say future clothes. Vagueness makes it harder for us to visualize what a comedians getting at, and in turn makes it harder to connect with his/her point. So Conan's specific imagery and add ons really help us to connect with him. Awesome job on this video.
Conan is now the best talk show comedian in the Planet.
I have been trying some of these things and it's amazing, it's really been changing my interactions for the better 😀 thank you guys so much for these Charisma videos!
~ That's awesome!
Hey can you do one such breakdown on idubbbz?
Like what? How to say the n-word like iDubbbz?
Patrick Bateman why not? I mean it can be interesting to analyse how he gets away with saying offensive things. It can be an interesting piece on how to do offensive branch of comedy right! There's a lot of freaking potential...
Patrick Bateman Being able to pull off offensive comedy well is a talent.
Aditya Patel Yess.
wongoli wongo Actually, it's a storm drain.
Hate when people explain jokes but love when you do it. Knowledgeable!
I think were ignoring how incredibly talented red hoodie guy is for not even cracking a smile.
don draper breakdown please,i think many people would like to see that
Luka L.L. :)
I love the statement around 4:30 "Specificity generally makes you funny" :)

He’s the perfect example of how to take a high level education and make it hilarious because of how smart he is.

Me, who is alone: I already am
No one better to tell us how people are funny than this filled with enthusiasm comedian making this video
Conan literally said he didn't want his humor to be cerebral
You have to find it funny yourself to be funny

Thank you for this. I am working on being wittier and conan is a character that I've been enjoying since I was a kid. This video made me realize I'm on the right path.
*please explain what it means to leave the context (in more detail) I just didn’t understand a little
A video on Jeremy Clarkson's humour, please!
Agreed! Jeremy Clarkson would be a great person to spotlight.
Be rich and entitled prick.
Cloud strife, last time I checked Justin Bieber isn't funny so your theory falls flat
all you have to do for that is hire a bunch of mediocre writers to give you jokes and then deliver them in a sort of post-sarcastic, slightly holier-than-thou manner
this is a great video.
conans genius and wit has seemed to go unnoticed for a long time.
watching his remotes, he is simply brilliant.
a master at his craft, the fake laughing jimmys dont even come close
*please explain what it means to leave the context (in more detail) I just didn’t understand a little
I think I've got my wittiness from Conan and taking jokes farther than most people would

The key to comedy is exaggeration.
i.e.
compliment: hey, nice hair
joke: hey, nice hair, Bono
Second is a joke that the majority understands like what the fuck is a bono?
@@aarkdel and I'll give you another example
"Ask me what the key to comedy is?
- What is the k...
- TIMING"
See, that's an exaggeration of one of the concepts of the key to comedy. That is why it's funny :D
I do the doubling down thing with my best friend ALL THE TIME without realizing it. We've done it so often it's gotten to the point where we could just be near each other, see something, make a comment about it, and we'd start cracking up while our other friends just look at us.

I'm very witty in daily life and knew all of this subconciously, but your video did a great job explaining the traits that constitute wit. Great job, I liked this and learned a lot. And the Conan clips are hilarious.
*please explain what it means to leave the context (in more detail) I just didn’t understand a little*
Conan is just super imaginative, and also a good communicator. Lets not overthink it
conan is seriously THE BEST talk show host..his wit and genius is sooooo underrated
I think the final list should include self-deprecation. If you're willing to make fun of yourself, everyone likes you more and the world becomes less scary/more fun.
Now I gotta go watch Conan re-runs. Thank God for UA-cam.
He has different approaches to make something funny. His being outside-of-the-box contexts are somewhat original unlike other hosts. The other hosts I noticed needs some sort of references like a socially accepted reality to make something funny and relatable. Conan's gives us his own perspective of funny that's why he 'becomes' funny.
I still don't understand why Jimmy Fallon's YT channel has more than 20 million subscribers and Conan's have almost 1/3.
Conan's production doesn't need to many games for celebrities to be watched over and over. Team Coco only relies on unlimited amounts of creativity and they proved that it's sufficient enough to entertain people for more than 20 years.
*please explain what it means to leave the context (in more detail) I just didn’t understand a little*
I LOVE Conan. He’s so great!
how does the first and last trick work? can be more*
nah cause I’ve been watching this channel just to see how celebrities vary in different things like humor, charisma, awareness, attraction, etc…… AND I JUST GOTTA SAY I WAS HAPPY I WAS BORN WITH ALL THESE TRAITS, it’s not very humble of me but in this new year I’m happy to point out the different personality characteristics I have and I’m happy I was born with all the things I listed cause I literally make the same jokes naturally that comedians like Conan, Graham Norton, Craig Ferguson, Kevin Heart, etc. it’s a lot of me to say I’m funny like these very highly successful people, but just cause I ain’t a celebrity yet don’t mean I ain’t close to them
He has an insane body of knowledge to draw from, from popular culture, to the classics, to the social and hard sciences; he has masterful command of language, diction, and vocabulary; his swift-delivery capability is responsive to new remarks as in the context of a dialogue, and is observational with when his senses interact with something new. Also key, he has the editorial capability to cut out what might come out quickly, but might be offensive or hurtful.
From early in his career he consistently directed mockery at himself, and his self-deprecation always places the person he’s with in a position of power.
he is definitely my fave out of the other talk show host. and watching this video made me realize that this is my fave type of comedy. I think youtubers like jkfilms and davidso have a similar style.
Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You don't learn much and the frog dies.
This is eight minutes plus of frog dissection.
AND THIS IS WHY CONAN IS THE KING LATE NIGHT COMEDY... AND WHY JIMMY FALLON IS AWFUL, AND JAY LENO WAS AND IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT
Jay Leno was so irrelevant his show was number one for 20+ years
buellerferris Fallon is the least funny host yet he has the most audience
Fallon isn't awful.
@@buellerferris NBC ditched him when he turned on Obama.
Andrés Aguilar I liked Jay Leno until I saw him interview Kanye West. It happened soon after the Taylor Swift fiasco. Jay asked Kanye what his Mom would say to him if she was still alive. I’m not even a KW fan, but that question was completely uncalled for.
So glad your channel is giving Conan a much deserved shout-out, but out of the thousands of hours of footage of Conan over the years there are soooo many better clips you could've used. You guys obviously haven't watched enough of his remote bits... That's Conan at his finest.
Conan is the best comedian. Particularly because of his style or his ethics which is that he derives humour from situations and conversations. He never ridicules people for laughter. He doesn't make fun of people, he has fun with people. He can make the most boring and obvious routines also into a laugh riot. A great example is his clip with duck dynasty. Such a class comedy it is. Conan is just a great man. He is also a writer which speaks volumes about his observation skills.
I'm not sure if you do charisma breakdowns for characters, but I think Dr. Cox from Scrubs would be quite an interesting one!

Conan is the kind of late comedian I can relate to. He's like Mr. Lucky Charms got somehow air-bombed through the ceiling of a Macy's menswear department and hit every floor on the way down. Only stopped by his hair flip and a cardboard cutout of the Aqua di Gio man. What a standup guy! Always been one of my favorites.
his self deprecating sense of humor is the best! he can laugh at himself before anyone does..
I would LOVE to see an analysis of the charisma of Patrice O'neal.
This!
xenophontiacicidationarionism I Just Had Him In Mind! Dude Is GOAT
I feel like conan does most of these with out thinking he's even doing them.
You forgot that you must have a laughtrack with you every time you make a joke
Conan is basically able to say in real life what we always think of when in the shower.

"So this is what you do to be the most funny in your friend group"

That dude was completely right about the "specificity" part! That's what I'm exactly working on...

Conan is the barbarian of comedy. Those jokes lopped Obama's head off. He is the strongest comedian of his or perhaps any age.

Agreed. I was surprised to find I personally did some of these unconsciously. Glad to have folks laugh. Helpful video .
