You really gotta admire Flula, it's not easy staying in character non-stop and coming up with hilarious and witty comebacks to everything. He can't give a normal answer, everything has to be silly, that's not easy to do. He has amazing improv skills and is clearly super smart.
Especially since many of the jokes are a dig at his "limited" English, when it's obvious that his English has to be incredible. I genuinely can't tell where the character begins and the real Flula ends.
Honestly - he is amazing. I work in Austria - I have also worked in Germany and to be that fast and on point is crazy. You have to think in two languages at once.He has a really broad bandwidth - he reminds me a lot of the old comedy greats like Bob Hope or Red Skelton. I thoroughly enjoy his appearances on Conan. 😊
@@fugithegreat His mastery of the English language is indeed quite good, even in how he garbles it (and garbling is a big part of how the English language works - just look at Shakespeare). "If at first you don't succeed, keep doing it over and over again is the definition of sanity." - Flula Borg. Here he's taking two cliche phrases generally not perceived as related and both assumed to be true ("If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" and "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results"), and combining them to present one philosophy while reminding you of the contradicting one in order to comedically undermine his own point, and he structures it as setup (the beginning of the saying, trailing off into getting the wording wrong) and punchline (landing on a clear reminder of the other saying at the very end). The work of a true wordsmith, and I have no idea if he thought of it on the spot or came up with it beforehand, but either way, that's good craftsmanship.
I'd really like to see how his act works in german. I mean, the exaggerated accent is a big part of his charm. Needless to say he can't do that in german.
In complete seriousness... Flula is genius... His constant character coordination is amazing. Staying in character to such a degree that even his words he makes up on the fly, his witty references and non stop German accent is performance art! Reminds me of Sasha Baron Cohen as Borat or Bruno
he's actually German! he's playing it up because he's playing a character, but that's his voice and accent :) it makes it even better imo because the way he goofs with the English language is a sign of how brilliant he is -- that he can take English idioms and garble them in a cartoonish-German way but still make them understandable and funny? iconic
The most impressive one was when they were both making nonsense noises and conan was like "doobedi doo, jab jab, giddy giddy" and in a split second flula says "up" and acts like he's mounting a horse looking confused.
@@stekichung Giddy up! It's like an old timey phrase you shout to your horse to make it move or go faster. Like "Heeee-yaah!". So he just gave some meaning to conans jibberish. Was just impressed that he was so quick :-D
For a bit of trivia, the first Star Wars movie was the only one which got fully translated in Germany, meaning they kept everything the same as in the English version, just adopted it to german pronuncation. Tatooine became Tatuuin. And Star Wars was Krieg der Sterne, War of the Stars. When Star Wars became the juggernaut that it is, names weren't changed anymore. Hans Olo however, was obviously something that never happened.
"Did you ever practice with an actual javelin?" "No it's called acting" after listing 10 tangentially related topics he researched. Flula is on the Nth level.
Thsnku...that was a moment I knew something funny was really happening. Destination child !!! ...so lm on the bus and I once heard an black woman on her way to church talk about this young black girl singer name Beyonce was heading straight to hell because her satanic cult singing group destination child had children dancing to the number one hit Bootylicious
@@mirar1 I laughed so hard I had milk come out of my nose but I wasn't even drinking any milk when it happened. Where did the milk come from? I don't know😵💫
I really have appreciated Conan the most during this pandemic period of the show or whatever. He was always genuine, but he seemed to have been especially real this last year, and interviews have felt a lot less scripted, and more electric and natural.
@16:44 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Conan: "As we go to a break I want to plug your project..." Flula: "Gross..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Flula is so wonderfully awkward and comedic timed to perfection. I have tears in my eyes from laughter from him. Flula is one of a kind!
A youtube video of him talking about not understanding the phrase "shooting fish in a barrel" went viral a while back and since then he's been in a ton of youtube videos, making a lot of electronic music, and has been in a few movies. He's hilarious. It's cool to see him do so well :)
I checked the seek bar after 5 min into this interview and thanked god that there are still 12 min left. So much happened in just 5 min. Such chemistry!!!!
I feel like Flula is always flirting with the line when it comes to annoying Conan and right before Conan rolls his eyes Flula cracks him up. Their chemistry is great.
@@pinklefoo he does it with Russell Brand he does it with Norm Macdonald and these are his favorite guests. It's a comedy act it must be something you have a problem picking up on. I've been watching Conan since you left SNL. It's an act you see that he's forced to play the straight man. Maybe you think when he's with Jordan he really doesn't want to be there too.
First time I saw Flula I thought "who the hell is this crazy guy" now I just love his comedic genius doesn't even think just reacts and in other bits has really smart jokes I love seeing him with Conan we need more Flula.
These 2 are so entertaining together, it's crazy! I'm so happy for Flula also, being in The Suicide Squad and in great shape, a hell of an achievement for a comedian, regardless if the film is good or not.
you can look at every pandemic no crowd interviews and they 're all unenergitic with relaxed conversation it kinda made us miss the old late show with so much energy , but this interview matched the same energy with 300 person in the room . Flula is just too quick he makes conan awake
the last 30 seconds of conan trying to sign off the interview, trying to hold in his laughter while we see Flula dancing at the edge of the frame is the funniest thing I've seen all year
He's definitely one of a very few that Conan seems to expect to playfully compete with every time and not be dropped. There are several more but Flula really has to be in the elite group. He is tirelessly present (and slays).
16:44 An example of how fast Flula's comedic mind is. As soon as Conan mentions "plug your project" he says "Gross". Who thinks that fast? How many people caught that?
I guess I missed that Flula was on recently. I have an entire playlist devoted to his Conan appearances and this proves to me personally yet again that Conan is the greatest of all time. He knows his audience so, SO well. And we know him and know when he's truly enjoying his time with a guest.
@@rayanalghamdi6834 he’s leaving tbs and joining HBO Max, he hasn’t said what he’ll be doing at HBO but he said he won’t be making daily content anymore.
It is very, very difficult to be clever/charming/witty in your native tongue. It’s exponentially harder to accomplish in a different language and culture. This dude is amazing.
I couldn't watch this in one sitting. Had to take a food break, go to the bathroom and watch a few other videos to avoid passing out from laughing. These two are in the literal meaning of the word - insane
Conan, I think you’re missing out on a serious opportunity to adopt him. You can train him to be your emotional support human and take him with you when you need to fly.
I am SO excite to remake Madison Billy!!
You are ultimate hero of laughing and goodness! 👏👏👏
Much lovings from the Philippines!
freakin love you and your "spanish/portuguese talkin events"
Great interview
Sehr gut as usual, Flula. Sehr gut!

Can only be paralleled by bill burr and Conan duo
@@hammyhamsters9210 Timothy Olyphant and Conan though
Imagine a remote with both Flula and Jordan Schlansky. 😂😂😂
Are we forgetting Norm McDonald?
And only Conan so far who understand Flula Borg. I've seen him on another show and other hosts just look confused
He's such a treasure and literally unknown in Germany. Great to see Conan's affection for this batshit crazy guy.
I'd really like to see how his act works in german. I mean, the exaggerated accent is a big part of his charm. Needless to say he can't do that in german.

he doesn't seem batshit crazy to me lmao... batshit hilarious is more like it
@@hundinger1 North Bavarian is all he needs 😂.
I now need a series about Flula living in Conan's house at various life stages.
If I was a billionaire I would start a network and green light this based on this sentence alone
^^
One Flula over the Cuckoos Nest
pls
And ever episode begins with Conan saying "Did you break into my house?"
Their chemistry is even more off the charts without a full studio audience present, they're bouncing bits off each other with lightning speed
If you are animated and stressed during the lesson, my channel is for you.
I love that we don’t have to spend all that time on the audience laughing
You need to understand, I had to check my speed settings several times, because I was sure that I was watching this at, like, 1.5x speed
This 15 minutes of silliness is a gift to humanity
If you are animated and stressed during the lesson, my channel is for you.
lol 15 min of pure nonsense. i think they were both confused at what was happening
Flula and Conan could travel the world and cure people's anxiety and depression in 5 minutes.
Wait, they could cure someone in 5 minutes? or they could travel the world in 5 minutes....?
@@wes7949 Both, they're magical.
His high energy and the camera being in my face would just give me more anxiety. :P
I haven’t laughed and smiled so hard since the last time I watched a Flula video, lol
Fact.
Flula and Conan together. Pure gold, Andy's giggle was the best.
The only person that can make Conan the straight man in a bit
Well said.
I would say that Norm also makes Conan ...the guy who own a doghouse in a bit
there's a lot of other guests that pull that off like Bill Burr
I wonder if Conan can keep (being) straight when Jeff Goldblum is on.
I guess you've never seen the many Norm - Conan clips...
Conan's ability to adapt and match the energy of the guest is super underrated.

@@sethescope That's not his real voice, watch some clips from Last Chance on youtube
To be able to make those lightning fast jokes where makes fun of idioms in a second language, tells me that this guy is a really smart guy
Flula can go right to the edge of awkwardness discomfort, and recover without flinching.
As can Conan..
Exchanging energy ! 🤘
Exactly! Flula derives so much comedic effect from his awkwardness, and then can make you feel comfortable again in an instant!
16:47
"and I plug your project"
"Gross"
Flula is so quick witted
I totally missed that, thank you!

Whaaat, and you clearly never seen SG1, ua-cam.com/video/0oJtwi43Yds/v-deo.html (1:42 ish)
They are so quick to pick up on each other’s jokes and add on to it. It’s like they’re in sync.
That's exactly what I thought!
"Did you ever practice with an actual javelin?" "No it's called acting" after listing 10 tangentially related topics he researched. Flula is on the Nth level.
Flula would make a great Nth Man in the MCU somewhere
"Destination Child", has to be one of the funniest but dumb jokes I've ever laughed at for ten minutes straight.
I almost spit out my drink and I think I got a good ab workout too!
LOL me too rofl

Can we get a weekly unedited show that's just an hour of Flula and Conan talking?
He'll be involved with Conan's variety show - i feel it in my bones
They have perfect chemistry. Weekly Podcast would be great!
That's called a podcast I believe but I do agree lol
Flula is how a man should be at his peak.
If you are animated and stressed during the lesson, my channel is for you.

Flula: "Gross..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Flula is so wonderfully awkward and comedic timed to perfection. I have tears in my eyes from laughter from him. Flula is one of a kind!
Conan and Flula "passing energy" at 9:30 is pure comedy / improv gold. It takes a rare pair to run off the rails so smoothly and hilariously together.
I just read your comment as he said that it was gold.
It's the only moment you can see Flula break character and laugh.
I always enjoy these interviews with Conan and Flula.

The insanity energy goes up 1000% when these two get together
It goes up 1000% with just flula alone
How silly do you want this interaction to be?
ALL OF IT
I like that Flula makes Conan the straight man
I would watch an entire season of Conan and Andy just hanging with Flula.
Anyone else catch Flula checking his fly after he brings up the fly in the room? His is a beautiful mind at work
"That's how it happens with a cookie" got me.
Same! His delivery👌🏼😂
Flula sounds like he is running a marathon while seating. Conan really quickly picked up his pace and now this piece sounds like it's on 1.5x speed.
I really need to see a show or something with Conan, Flula and Steven Yeun. Sounds like the best trio.
Add Jeff Goldblum and you've got a party
@@wheezetube607 omg yes

"So me and Detlef can discuss Sam Perkins." Lost it, just lost it... 90's basketball references get me every time.
The look he gives immediately after he says "perkins" had me rolling.

Flula and Conan is an amazing duo! Flula is super intelligent to make up all these jokes on the fly!
I’m sure they had a dress rehearsal and then took it from there, but making it work so well on camera is such a rare talent they have.
