fun fact: This is Conans favorite remote they ever did. He said it just fit his comedy exactly. and the girl whose father had died took it to the next level which he appreciated…he even caught up with her on his show when it was ending.

[@TheSpacemannspiff]

I love the remote where Conan goes to the American Girl place in LA. My second favourite remote of his definitely worth watching.

[@lucasw24]

You can tell is his mission to get that girl to break character and laugh.

[@moioonjuuso1]

Wait, where did they catch up? Is there footage?

[@caterpillakilla]

@@moioonjuuso1 It was over zoom i think on his podcast

[@Universemasterj]

Ironically Conan’s civil war reenactment bit is fairly top tier

[@TwoNinePrime]

That would be my vote for the next conan vid

[@Chris-vk2zw]

It's brilliant!

[@Chris-vk2zw]

"I live over yonder." "Where over yonder?" "Yonder over yonder."

[@Comp1337ish]

came to say this. they have to react to this next

[@IsThisThePrizeIveWaitedFor]

Fairly? It’s a no doubter

[@Defiler360]

You guys would love his Civil war reenactment as well. Keep up the good work fella's.

[@W3GEfin]

Conan is very knowledgeable in history, especially american history. That combined with his spontaneous comedic intellect makes a perfect match for these sort of remotes.

[@gunkid6368]

people tend to forget or just dont know that Conan graduated from Harvard with a degree in History & Literature

[@SimoExMachina2]

His ability to improvise is off the charts.

[@Barnuses]

He also wrote for the Simpsons so presumably he is also knowledgeable about the future too.

[@Icedsobaka]

YES, Finally I think it's really sad that most reactions on Conan out there don't actually cover his biggest gems like this video other good examples are The Civil War reenactment one, The one where he goes to Ireland, The one where he becomes mayor of a city in Japan, Some of his funniest moments that people kinda sleep on

[@gnarxy]

Yup, this and the Civil War one I have been waiting for a reaction to!

[@FourFish47]

Are there any that aren't gems? 🤔

[@whenraindropsfall]

couldn’t agree more

[@BVA-on2ic]

Should do Conan’s bits where he has Triumph the Insult Comic Dog do remotes!

[@shawngipson5403]

The actors here are part of a heritage site that is more like an interactive museum instead of cosplay. You can go watch them build cabins and make food in traditional ways. The weird lady talks in a recent interview how she decided to ham her performance up for laughs and never expected to the highlight of the episode.

[@jasonbrown5339]

She played well and kept a straight face "yes sir"

[@pppmanly]

Conan: "Some say a waste of time, others say an _incredible_ waste of time." 😄😃

[@duckdragon3702]

Dave "I don't know anything about baseball, I've got no reason to watch it". 30 seconds later "I believe England invented baseball".

[@jartstopsign]

The down and out acting woman with the husband at war was really committed to that performance, it's all a bit weird but, respect to her

[@FSSNZ]

This is probably my favorite conan remote. He's really in his element here.

[@whenraindropsfall]

I’m amazed anyone reacted to this hidden gem props to yall

[@techpunked]

One of my favorites. When this came out or maybe just when I became aware of this, we tracked down "shy girl." She was in a play that was posted on KZbin as well. They did not appreciate our friendly comments. 😂

[@djm3suxx]

The old timey fighting stance always cracks me up.

[@TheHigherSpace]

Conan's Civil war reanactment is really funny

[@steelers6titles]

"Nell" shoves Conan's hand away at the end lol

[@TheDinosaur82]

I think Conan once said that this is his favorite bit that he's ever done.

[@haraldisdead]

"I'm a farmer." "I'm a farmer." "I'm a farmer." Baseball was always an urban game. There should be at least one factory worker or longshoreman.

[@travelchic908]

"I was down in the Civil War" makes me laugh every time 😂

[@billhicks6449]

These people were from a local school on acting internships. We see them in recreation but they actually lived for months in this area as characters in the 1860's. They milked cows, used out houses, etc. All while in full character 24 hours a day. It's true., they brought the girl on the Conan Podcast about 6 months ago and she tells the story.

[@thedeviouspanda]

I remember when this first aired. It's still just as funny now.

[@toastnjam7384]

Fun fact: An Englishman, Henry Chadwick, is regarded as the father of baseball. He was a cricket reporter for The New York Times in the 1850's and became enamored with baseball and played a big part in popularizing the game. He created the box score and baseball statistics for recording teams and players achievements. He's in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

[@Juggtacula]

That's false. The *actual* inventor of baseball is Abner Doubleday. He originally called the game "Sticky McSchnickens". It was to be played with 10 players, for 18 innings. He did some workshopping during the first trial game.

[@markwang77]

they did an interview with the actress that played 'Nell' earlier this year to talk about that experience: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWq6fot-ir2pa6M

[@vladt876]

I will admit. I enjoy rewatching Conan clips for the "first time" with you guys

[@TNbear0126]

I’ve seen this sketch dozens of times and every time it pans up To him in costume with that mustache, hat and expression, i cackle like a madman.

[@KBH27]

Mike looks like Anthony Hopkins

[@michaelcole8196]

So glad you did this one. Next, you need to do Conan and Triumph: The Insult Comic Dog -- Star Wars

[@jerzeyguy71]

when the one girl said her dad was dead, I thoght Conan was gonna point to the wooden box and ask if he was in that.. LOL

[@johanna0131]

It makes me so happy when I see you guys doing another Conan video. 😊

[@betsyduane3461]

Conan speaking in his 1920's mid-Atlantic voice

[@MaineManDezzo]

One of Conan’s funniest remotes lol

[@DanFrijoles]

Old Bethpage Village (where he played in this video) is about 15 minutes from my house. Super cool place with a lot of fun historical events. It's not all dress-up stuff like this lol.

[@FourFish47]

Yay Conan!! Lol We have a museum near here that does a WW11 reenactment and it's a big deal. I think it's great for civilians to see what people in war have to deal with, especially kids. It seems like the more modern the war, the longer negative effects it has on veterans. Americans respect our military and that's why flags are flown everywhere all the time. We also have The Rockford Peaches that the movie A League Of Their Own was made, about the women who took men's place playing baseball while the men were at war. I think there's only one Peach left, and she just came out as gay. That's pretty cool in your 90's. It's a great movie with Tom Hanks as their coach. As usual Conan knocks it out of the park 😅

[@jenfine]

This is my all-time favorite Conan remote!

[@SotonSam]

A jam tart! That made me laugh quite a lot, he'd sppon some jam into a premade casing and be proud of himself haha Love you Dave 😂

[@Cultivation420]

😆 "Get it , you fool"!

[@nickq3417]

I’d love to see your reaction to Conan visits The American Girl Store. So funny

[@Raidou10]

After every Conan video, guy on the left calls him a lunatic lmao. He just leans into the physical comedy but a brilliant writer.

[@kalen1702]

I don't really think it's that strange to do reenactments. It lasts a few hours and it's fun to kind of simulate what the past might've been like. I lived near a place called "Living History Farms" where there were acres and acres of farmland/barns/shops that simulated the late 1800s and people (mostly children on school trips or with family) would come and walk around, eat food, and learn a thing or two. Two of my school teachers worked there in the summer and I thought it was really fun.

[@steelers6titles]

Originally, the order of bases was clockwise, rather than counter-clockwise. A runner could be put out by "soaking" him--throwing the ball at him and hitting him. Bases were, originally, upright posts.

[@melrest3453]

I’m such a baseball fan I think this would be fun!

[@chijason6630]

You would love "MLB Inside The Park Home Runs Compilation" by Made the Cut or "MLB Players Stealing Home!" by MLB. Inside-the-park home runs and stealing home are two of the most exciting plays in baseball (not to mention more common in the past than now), and these plays are two of the most exciting in the sport!

[@zzz987654321]

For those of you that don't live here - I live 15 minutes from old Bethpage restoration - it's a wonderful place open everyday, it's a village made up of old homes brought there from all over long island to depicted life on long island in the 1800 's . each home has an actor to play the part of the original home owner that's dress in period, and with knowledge of the homes history. A wonderful place to see at Christmas time. never saw the baseball ? but love the Halloween show they put on every year -

[@MikeB12800]

Is the hot girl that lost her husband in the war still working there?

[@notHifen]

Darren: [On any activity that's not drinking at the pub:] "It's bizarre ain't it? It's weird, they're weird aren't they?"

[@lancerfour]

in actuality, Conan later goes on to tell the true story of baseball in the next episode. apparently it was created in Sweden before Gunther the Great took the thrown, but it was in a different form. it's a common misconception that it is derived from cricket; in fact, as Conan expressed, it derives from an ancient game where teams would take turns batting balls of mud at each other in the spring and summer months as a way to prepare their reflexes for battle. But don't let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

[@johnmorris8444]

I just got off Reddit, wtf?

[@jessallen7756]

Native Americans played a game similar to baseball....

[@HBC423]

I’ll never forget that

[@BA_1002]

Baseball most certainly did not start in Sweden

[@nathanjimenez1562]

Undertake vs Mankin hell in the cell 1998 is legendary bruh.

[@swinn848]

Playing with fire Dave. Baseball is America’s pastime created in Cooperstown, NY. Your gonna trigger people 😂

[@gerry_atric]

I hope The Office Blokes see this cuz I'd like to challenge them. They're great guys, so this is all in gd fun. They felt Conan and Kevin at the gym was his best yet. If they don't find "Conan Auditions for TV Commercials" the best, I'll join their patreon. I'm poor but I'd sacrifice beer money for the cost. If I win, I continue on with my regular lame sublife and get that 6pack over their uploads👍✌️

[@agenciasimplify2591]

We need more Conan videos!!!!

[@robtintelnot9107]

Been waiting months for this. Damn lazy Limeys. Haha Thanks guys.

[@tbd-5160]

To be fair, the Civil War was the bloodiest in American history. More Americans died during that conflict than died during WW1 & WW2 combined. So you see a lot of this around the country. It's all nostalgia, it's all it is.

[@LucidDream]

"What-ho! What is that demonry?! Everyone flee!"

[@tonyplove]

This is one of the best.

[@k3n12ock]

Daz named Slap Ass from Key & Peele, LOL

[@trevor3013]

When I was young our school in California would take us to a historical museum type place and they stay in character the whole time and show us how back in the day life was for settlers or whatever decade they were in. Was strange.

[@leogothisoscar271]

Next should be when Conan visits the Civil War reenactment. It's a classic!

[@caseyrogers573]

Cricket and rounders were both influences in baseball. British immigrants sort of combines their “stick and ball” games into a sort of average of them all.

[@hifijohn]

Baseball comes from townball(the new york version )and it comes rounders.

[@JuandeFucaU]

why won't you guys do Conan at the Weiner Circle? it's his funniest remote bit ever.

[@BVA-on2ic]

It is!

[@haraldisdead]

Stick and ball games go back to medieval times. There are various folk versions, of which rounders was one. Baseball came about organically from those versions in the new York/ new England area, but probably wasn't a direct descendent of rounders, and definitely not from cricket. So yea, it's origins are European, but not from any particular European sport.

[@Mokkari77]

One of my favorite bits.

[@singuensful]

The civil war bit is brilliant.

[@DynamiteProd]

This is the best Conan skit of all time

[@jeffahola4195]

50 years from now, people will be dressing up as the Office Blokes and doing reenactments. Mike, still alive, leads the charge!

[@steveanderson8826]

Dave, you aren't completely wrong regarding baseball coming from England, but baseball has a very odd history actually. It sort of evolved from a variety of games, like Daz said Rounders, but also Cricket, and then just other games that kids played. The rules had a lot of variety and then they sort of came together. So English sports had a part to play, but it wasn't just a straight line from one game to another. You could find a KZbin video on the history, but only if you care that much.

[@caterpillakilla]

yea most places around the world were playing variations of “stickball” and we just morphed some english rules into it to invent “baseball”

[@nottoday7377]

Awesome! Another great one is the civil war reenactment bit.

[@GalactusDaDevourer]

Dave looking dapper today

[@2005YouTubeUser]

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this one!

[@michaelalford4473]

I've waited so long for this.

[@GodLovesComics]

A few months ago I won an auction for a comic book published in 1897. And of course, it's all about baseball.

[@danjohnson2986]

Not that long ago conan had the sweet, shy “widow” on his podcast. She stole the show. This is a great skit.

[@unintelligentlifeform7180]

I had friends that loved the "love action role play" ( LARP....dress up like knights and fight each other.) Wasn't my thing. But they loved it and had fun. I don't judge. They enjoyed the community and it gave them access to more friends. Not many people at my small town school were into it lol.

[@TheSpacemannspiff]

Check out his American Girl Doll remote, it's hysterical.

[@YoMommaHouse.]

Conan and deon cole eat soul food

[@haraldisdead]

[@PaolaBarrientos]

It's not bizarre it is lots of fun 🤗🤗 Many people like to cosplay.

[@silverg9540]

I've always loved the line "what is that demonry"

[@ragnarocking]

I've heard that baseball evolved from cricket/rounders, so you could call it an English sport technically. 😁

[@michaelgeorge5197]

Remember showing my nana this one

[@mcm8737]

It's called larping, live action role playing. And yes it is weird as hell😂

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]
