“As long as there are no consequences, I take full responsibility” 🤣

[@venkatsarma007]

Hi, how are you?

[@rubyrayne8]

Such a good comment and Sona and Matt didn’t even blink.

[@no127]

I think he is basically Michael Scott, just at the right job.😂

[@mattbuszko]

what a perfectly Simpsons writer thing to say

[@brianmorton9419]

@@no127 I think he’s Michael Scott if Michael Scott was funny (that is to say, if the jokes Michael Scott made were funny to his coworkers; as a character on a sitcom, Michael’s hilarious)

"Do you know what passive aggressive means?" "It sounds to me like if he's good at it then god bless him." 😂😂😂

that one was my favorite

He's invincible

[@brandonwei2430]

"And yet you bitch and moan" in that accent made me laugh so hard

Lol that and "well if he's good at it then God bless him" took me tf out.

[@adamchristie7626]

Saaaaaame!!!😂

[@0000Neil]

Exactly I don’t know why 😂😂

[@elvistran4595]

Amazing how Conan can instantly create a hilarious character on the spot.

[@joshuawidener8407]

He's done the German bit for decades lol. It's not on the spot

[@mediocreman2]

They seem like they're on the spot, but really he's worked on them many many times.

[@rubyrayne8]

I replayed the Otto bit a couple times. “Do you know what passive aggressive is?” “It sounds like if he’s good at it, then god bless him.” 😂

[@andrewhawking7893]

It's always super fun when Conan breaks into fake German shouting. All that's missing was table hand kicking, like he did with that doll in of the earlier skits.

[@headlight31]

Same! We know who he is emulating but it's still funny af.

Her name is Agnes Schweizhofer

[@BUUOC]

[@JamieAtSLC]

I'm shocked they never did "Conan tries to go undercover in the office but everyone immediately recognizes him" as a sketch on the late night shows.

[@ohh2752]

Haha you should’ve been on the staff!

[@dustinharvey2111]

they did undercover warden

[@MrSuperbear90]

As a German I laughed my ass of. Especially when he mentioned hes from east germany like its 1985 xD

[@jonathanpatch5281]

There was some realy "timey-wimey" stuff going on in that bit. It was like the Brezhnev era, but with podcasts.

[@profoundwanderer1441]

Learn something new everyday. Had no idea you all knew how to laugh. 😂

[@ARIF74]

Well, he called them comrades.

[@Trackandshield]

Or that reference to Indira Gandhi, Conan historical references always on point.

[@dlxmarks]

To be fair Otto said eastern Germany and he sounds old enough to have been born and raised in East Germany near a nuclear plant that was also a sausage factory.

[@samchen9951]

In fact the more I watch these podcasts, the more I realize Conan is far and away the best and realest TV show host in the history of television. I realized only through the podcast how passive aggressive Conan is, how much anxiety he has, and how his closest employees are the butt of his jokes a lot. BUT that only makes me an EVEN greater fan of him. That he airs his weaknesses and not just his strengths like all other talk show hosts, that he is REAL about who he is, and most importantly, that despite of his weaknesses or maybe because of them, he is still extremely funny. Conan did not have to do this, his show ended on an amazing note and most people would not have known about all the weaknesses Conan has. But he still chose to do this anyway, due to his love of comedy and creation. Conan, you're the best and I hope you get to see this.

[@StrawberryNLemonade]

Absolutely agree with this comment!! Though he was already doing the podcast since 2018, years before the shows end

[@sahityabk]

I would argue he's worn his weaknesses on his sleeve and makes fun of his employees during a lot of his remotes, but I agree with your sentiment

[@obiwankenobi661]

Ok you can take your costume off now, Conan

Sona's got a great laugh, very much compliments humor gods

[@BarberJ95]

He’s known throughout the world as best ever, definitely rocks USA!

[@rdstudios6289]

Ted Danson complements her laugh on the podcast a few years back. 😊

[@ctrainbeats]

if she's good at it then god bless her

[@SANTANAMNSTR]

Sona's fear of being the butt of the joke and then high-fiving Conan while everyone laughs is a scenario we've seen play outmany times so it cracked me up when she brought it up.

[@brianmorton9419]

I like to imagine Bley, who Conan REFUSED to high-five in clueless gamer, just crying in the corner when Sona’s talking about how she hates that Conan makes her high-five him

[@tiktaktictac]

I'm sure Bley high-fives Conan a lot, but only after getting roasted by him

[@TheCJD89]

This new Otto guy was great. I think he should be on the podcast more often! :)

[@parth46767]

That Indira Gandi reference came out of nowhere! Lol!

[@aviralgupta393]

true as hell

[@falxonPSN]

Of all the historical figures to reference.... 🤣

[@aviralgupta393]

maybe he was working on a history podcast

[@akshaysinghrai]

I had to replay it to make sure I heard it right.

[@alex0589]

His wife Liza has a podcast about famous figure’s significant others, i think there’s episode about her

[@vashthecentipede956]

“I wish you guys liked me more. But I guess you don’t.” So hilariously relatable

[@shikhart1]

Just that last 5 mins of improvisation by Conan is enough to tell that he is a legend.

[@Nightbringer2000]

Gourley suggesting Conan do undercover boss as Dorf had me dying 😂

[@pihermoso11]

There's no amount of Wig, Make Up, and disguise clothes that can literally hide Conan from himself.. everybody would know it's Conan coming from 2 galaxies away.. it would still be funny though..

[@kettyspikes]

Only Conan can casually name drop Indira Gandhi in an improv routine and make it hilarious

[@BarberJ95]

And Leonid Brezhnev 😂 in one episode, the most unique pod lmao. Since he said it now I see Indria when I look at Sona lol.

[@littleghostfilms3012]

Loved how Conan worked in compliments of himself through his character Otto!😆

[@CaptainNamikaze]

“I live near nuclear plant, nose fall of sometime.” 🤣🤣🤣

[@LifeinUSofA]

Sona actually looks like Indhira Gandhi, interesting observation !

[@Natalka840]

english automatic subtitles transcripted Sona Movsesian as "son of a mustang" and its strangley accurate

[@andreachung396]

bahahaha love wen conan slips into german

[@melissa-hr6co]

That accent and then the launch into the shouting 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love Conan

[@RuthwikRao]

Godwin's law dictated that he transform to Hitler by the end.

Otto breaking into Hitler at Nuremberg at the end 😂

[@TheChupacabra]

Genius. Thank god Conan is archivist of vaudevillian schtick and Gourley has a love of old timey radio. It adds up to great podcasting

In Eastern Germany we don't use canisters for podcasts because we don't know what a podcast is.

[@MyroslavaRm]

it's good that conan has already done his travel show in germany, because after this accent no one is letting him into that country again

[@mytube001]

More Slavic than German towards the end...

[@a5-30-31cts]

One of my favorites because it is so concisely insightful of the "working" level of their multi-layered relationships.

This Otto Strüden character does a great Conan impression.

[@no127]

@@spideronawhiteflag who is better?

[@mediocreman2]

Michael Scott is a bumbling fool. That's kind of the opposite of conan.

[@no127]

@@mediocreman2 I meant in terms of bullying and harassing his employees yet loving them at the same time. If Conan behaved like this while running or managing a regular 9-5 office of a normal company like say a paper selling one😉, he would probably have multiple lawsuits on himself! But being in the entertainment industry and especially in the comedy world, it is welcomed as long as he delivers it comically. The work environment in the entertainment industry always has a different set of rules(or sometimes no rules) compared to any other professional work environment. You can see this in the stories these celebrities tell on talk shows as to what happens on a movie/tv/modelling sets which would be completely inappropriate for any other work environment.

[@vincewest8858]

they ALWAYS cheer me up no matter what

i can’t stop hearing matt as an old man with his “nooooo”

The way he turned that accent into the "angry version" was awesome.

Good Ol Sonar 😅 She’s lucky she can use sound waves to detect objects at night

[@jimmysvendblad2940]

The three of them are perfect together, their energies complement each other so well. However, if they were broken apart and I had to choose only one to watch it would be Conan. There are so many layers to this man, there is even one named Otto. Endless entertainment.
