I've forgotten most NKOTB songs now, but I still sing "Baby, I Wish You Were My Baby" sometimes. My nieces once asked me what my fav boy band was, and watching them Google "Dudez-A-Plenti" was one of the funniest friggin' things I've ever seen. I love Conan beyond measure.
Laurie Ann the NKOTB songs weren’t even theirs though, for the most part they ‘borrowed’ songs from 60’s and 70’s black groups and didn’t pay the songwriters. They assumed no one would notice I guess.
I first saw this on TV when I was in High School and have been quoting it for almost twenty years: -Calling canes a "vanity cane" -Saying "In hindsight . . . No. I shouldn't have (extremely obvious bad decision)" -Telling a friend who keeps dying in a video game "It's like your trying to bowl a spare. Why not bowl a strike?" -And, of course, singing "Baby, I wish you were my baby." Boy bands were huge back then and this was the perfect mockery.

I don't know about you but this 40 second boy band sounded better than the real ones to me just knowing they did it to laugh and not to hang out with 13 year old girls...
My god, I am SO glad to FINALLY see a good quality version of this on UA-cam. I saw this on TV when it originally aired and thought it was the best thing on Conan's show (although Conan and Andy driving the desk was a close second). For years there's only been a crap quality version on the net.
And Conan left out the part where he was contractually the 6th member of the band, retained all proceeds from record sales and tours, purchased Chippendales and TCBY, and ran a ponzi scheme on the side.
In late 90s Canada I used to have to stay up until 2am to watch Conan (pre-empted by Jenny Jones and an infomercial). It was ALWAYS worth it because of sketches like this. One of the most brilliant, thoughtful and hilarious comedy shows of all-time
I worked at the Music Dept. at Barnes & Noble in Long Beach and my manager and I made a place card for Dudez-a-Plenti. We had several customers try to impress the girls who worked with us by claiming that they not only had all their CDs, but have seen them in concert.
@@rightproperlad Dude, I thought you were a fan 🤔 Every real fan remember the time January 6, 2004 when he left dudez-a-plenti to become a single artist called Alisson. I was so sad that day 😭 but when he came back to dudez-a-plenti in 2011 it was the best day in my life, I just wish he went back to Samantha, but from his interview with Conan April 8, 2016, where he said he was unhappy with Samantha, I was so glad that he finally found himself ❤️
Conan coming up with each guy's signature pose on the spot is why he's the best. I especially like holding eye, holding shin with tongue out Larraine. Dudez-a-plenti 4-Life!
When Garrett was trying to make it as a singer before his bowling accident, he was never the same since. Thank god he found that steady job at cloud 9 though
Conan needs to do an update on this but it's Dudez A-Plenti behind the music where it documents the band members struggling drug addiction and Lorraine/Samantha's failed attempt at a solo album
Hilarious! Can't believe all the crazy ideas that Conan came up with during rehearsal (including that crazy song that Conan Improved) were actually implemented at the end. Conan is a comic genius!.
What’s insane is that if he actually took this serious at the beginning when they were creating the very early stages of this mess of a parody song it actually would have come out pretty damn good & this whole ‘boy band’ did have the ‘look’ of an old school boy band from the 90’s early 2000’s with extreme potential to do well 😂😂

Well its 4/20
So creative and funny! Conan and his team were ahead of their time, best late night host and program ever.
I was gonna post just that, the audience seemed a bit tepid. Today's audience would have been dying all throughout.

If only Jean Chretien hadn't banned VCRs you could have just taped it.
So long ago there was almost 2 billion less people on the planet 😂

So long ago Matt Lauer was invited to late night talk shows.
Yup, we have 25% more people since then
@aaron names why even mention that other than to sound off ur supremacist thoughts? the OP wasn't implying that at all.
People are fuckin
Spice Girls are on tour in the UK, but I'd rather hear a collaboration album from Dudez A-Plenti and The Slipnutz.

Really
I think Conan just lowkey created one direction.
You know boy bands did exist before One Direction... New Edition, New Kids On the Block, N'Sync Etc.
Or what I can gather from BTS
I can't believe the actor who played the wheelchair guy from Superstore and the animal control guy from Parks and Rec has been acting for 20 years.
Wait, that's him? 😳
Lorraine is the wheelchair guy from Superstore??
Omg that IS HIM!!!!
Satire so accurate, it becomes documentary.
Those outfits were classic boy band! Lol
Honey V I definitely had tht yellow shirt when i was a kid
9:18 No one should ever see your face LMAO 😂
My favorite Conan remote ever!
Ironic Conan thought of "baby" before Bieber's time.
they predicted the future, i was shocked too hahaha
doud nice one
He is not a boy band
Well, Conan is a Led Zeppelin fan... ;)
Shows you how basic and generic JB is.
Wow! An episode I’ve never seen. This is like finding $20 that I’d forgotten about in my pocket. 😃
I swear just when I think I've watched every Conan clip available I find the funniest one. This is pure genius.
Conan formed a boy band in like a day or two, as a joke, and it was approximately as good as a real boy band.
Dudez-a-plenti ❤️ Who else had a crush on Laraine growing up?

So glad these are still around. Hilarious back then, and still better than most programming today.
I agree. Nothing funny on regular TV these days.
They actually made that song work. These dudes can really sing.
They were selected from a pool of 998 people, whittled down from 6 billion
Apparently most of them were working actors on broadway. They talk about it on the Inside Conan podcast

The vanity respirator while singing "in fear we should not cower" hits different in 2020.
oh my God, I've never laughed so hard, when he told them to pose, I lost it.
The "Wut up" look the respirator guy gives as he comes out on stage. lol

"We're SlipNutz, slipping on some nuts"

Here because Kumail mentioned this sketch on the podcast. Omg this is hilarious 😂 I
Jesus christ I remember the first time I saw this and I could not stop laughing, 22 years later and it's still hilarious. Timeless shit right here.
Definitely time for him to do a new Dudez A-Plenti 2021 with a new lineup and bring these guys back to show the new crew how to do it old school.
This right here is why Late night with Conan O’Brien became legendary!
I've watched so many of Conan's sketches over the years, but this is hands down my favorite.(although SlipNutz gives it a run for its money)
Slipnutz crackedme up
Old Timey Baseball is still the great one among them.
Slip nutz! One of my all-time favorite skits. Slipping on nuts!
Yes! This and SlipNutz were perfect
Masturdate was pretty good
I'm gonna print a poster of Dudez A Plenty for my room.
Am I high or is Laraine 7:47 Colton Dunn from the show Superstore?
you're high AND is Laraine at 7:47 is Colton Dunn from the show Superstore!
This is gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Sometimes I watch this on the Late Night with Conan 10th anniversary DVD and think about how I've had that DVD for 15 years.
He's making them touch so much, I can't help but wonder: is Conan secretly a Tumblr fanfiction writer? XD
I lost it when Conan came with the box of Ritz at the end of their presentation! So funny!
😂😂😂 I didn't notice that!
Conan is easily the best late night talk show right now
amazing performance at the end omg XD
C was so cute, i was thinking he's such a baby but he was actually 37 in this aww hahaha
Where u from ?
So many great lines in this, but one of the funniest came right at the end. "Matt Lauer is gonna be with us in a second."
Dudez A-Plenti: "I promise not to sex you."
Matt Lauer: "I have a button that locks women in my office against their will."
We need a reunion tour! Conan is tops!👍 the end result was great!
Was not ready for the genius of this skit.
Conan needs to do an update on this but it's Dudez A-Plenti behind the music where it documents the band members struggling drug addiction and Lorraine/Samantha's failed attempt at a solo album
It's amazing how conan sound exactly like he is now. His style has not changed in 20 years
In my opinion, a monologue audition is perfect preparation for being in a band.
I've got gossebumps when they started singing. Great performance, better than NSync and on par with BSB
