Conan Hates When Kids Call Him By His First Name (Feat. John Mulaney) | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@2kuzik]

"at this point you should just be brothers" is the type of John Mulaney humor that I love so much and I can't even explain why

[@hyperspeed_心猿]

Because it's funny. There. Explained!😁

[@reen4450]

Oddly specific and accurate lol

[@jason_eh]

He nearly killed Sona in this episode. She was literally dying of laughter.

[@LadiesNo.1DetectiveAgenc-rs7pj]

I was screaming laughing at that

[@shawngillespie3532]

“Married kids with a Giraffe as a witness”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@thomasmook]

"Shuffled off his mortal coil... backwards" is an awesome joke.

with the norm impersonation to boot

[@Seabeams]

3:30 it’s amazing how John Mulaney reacts to Sona’s laughter the same way Conan does, and goes in for the kill.

[@jordanc2019]

It’s like he smelled blood in the water. You can see it happen😂

[@Studentofgosset]

People laughing uncontrollably is crack for comedians, they can't help themselves

[@Nueztoy]

I think the guys at my local radio station are fans, so they added to their morning show a girl that laughs like a chipmunk. It’s awful

[@hensonlaura]

She is so artificial, interruptive & attention seeking she's like nails on a chalkboard.

[@cleverusername9369]

A sweet moment: Conan is too humble to admit he has an honorary doctorate, and Sona can't wait to brag about it on his behalf

[@RoyceRemix]

She proud of him, and not just because she's contractually obligated to be so 🥲

[@mollybruce9739]

That's what she was hired for

[@TheArmyduck23]

​@@mollybruce9739she wrote a book about how she didn't do her job 😅

[@dr_IkjyotSinghKohli]

Honorary degree means the university gave it to him without any course credit. Why would you want to admit to something like this? Universities usually give it to celebrities and/or major donors.

[@cleverusername9369]

@@mollybruce9739 no, she was hired because she's just competent enough, but she laughs at EVERYTHING and that's Conan's life's blood

This might be proof that Sona was actually poised to be a good and professional assistant, but Conan trolled her one too many times and we ended up with the Sona that we know today😂

I love how loud the studio gets when Mulaney comes around. Everyone's laughing.

[@markb20]

John Mulaney and David Byrne have been two of the best guests in recent memory; they bring out the best in Conan.

[@cleverusername9369]

Very few people make Conan laugh harder than John. Maybe Bills Burr and Hader but I can't think of many people who break him up more

[@markb20]

[@EBAN207]

​@@cleverusername9369norm mcdonald made him laugh a lot too iirc

[@hackapump]

I’ve heard a lot of MJ jokes, but that one I think might take the cake. It’s such a ridiculous image, and it bares no resemblance with reality, yet everyone immediately gets it. Then the wording of it, and the cadence of the delivery. Like a short burst of brilliance from a jazz master. Priceless.

[@Psychol-Snooper]

Michael Jackson once "married" his nine-year-old boy pal in a bizarre "mock wedding" ceremony at Neverland Ranch, according to a lawsuit exposed in Leaving Neverland documentary. Neverland Ranch had giraffes. Unless you somehow know the boys are lying, I think it lands pretty damn close to reality.

[@jblackbath]

Clocked it. Sona laughed almost non-stop for a minute fifteen seconds. Longest I ever heard her laugh 😃

[@roguesample]

Conan sounds like such a funny boss - I would’ve been laughing so hard as soon as he asked me to call his lawyer to adopt Blanket

[@reen4450]

He's probably a fun guy to work for but not knowing when he was being serious would give me so much anxiety lol

[@Caliabra]

He’s seems like an awesome boss…I love sarcasm. Also smart as a whip

[@RJHart1214]

"Sona was a new hire when Michael Jackson shuffled off this mortal coil...backwards." Genius!

[@davidlamb1107]

3:42 - John sees that he's got Sona rolling, so he's just going to keep pushing that button as hard as he can.

[@badman3000]

With that phone call no wonder Sona doesn't take anything Conan says seriously anymore.

[@h3artands0uLL]

Fr! 🤣🤣 the BALLS she had to hang up on him during her first few days Lolol. He knew he hired the right person

[@coldbloodturnedredhot2260]

I don’t think it gets better than how hard Sona laughed in this

Those who read Sona's book are always delighting whenever they tell stories that she brought up in the book.

[@reen4450]

I didnt realize she had a book

[@grapesofwraith1066]

love how John talks directly to Sona about the joke!

[@richardsimone2798]

I know sona ALWAYS laughs like a psycho but I was honestly getting concerned when she cackled at the michael Jackson bit😂😂😂

[@hyperspeed_心猿]

You're right! I never thought about it, but she does laugh like a psychopath! She keeps getting more and more relatable.

[@florete2310]

Her laughter is *infectious* - I thought, that part was super funny

[@gilbertodepiento8521]

The fact that he has all this imaginary crazy made-up achievements that he spits out so fluently but has hard time accepting the real equally big ones is a big clue about how a person Conan is...Love U Coco for life 🧡🧡🧡

[@harryallsopp9136]

For me it was always "Mr *Friends names* Dad" as a joke. If I had a friend called Sam, his dad would be "Mr Sam's Dad" and if I ever met their friend they were "Mr Sam's Dad's friend" Even when they gave an alternative I'd stick to it.

The guy is truly special. It's why he's been the best host of SNL in recent years.

Only Conan could possibly make that “mortal coil” Michael Jackson joke. So academic and yet so corny. Truly the crown professor of dad jokes.

[@ruscopcoltrain]

4:32 cracks me up so much. Any joke that can get Mulaney to essentially go, "Jesus, dude" is a great joke.

Mr. Mulaney sounds so much like a teacher's name that you couldn't use it in a sitcom. It would be too on the nose.
