Conan The Bike Messanger

Watch as Conan learns to become a bike messanger in NYC. I think this was from 1997.

[@ToruKun1]

These fan accounts are vital because the old remotes posted on Conan's official YT channel are censored (they had to take out all the licensed music and the part where the guy said Conan's bike looked gay).

[@AB-ii8st]

They really censored "gay"? That's a pretty gay thing to do.

[@hollandoates961]

Censorship is gay

[@virus2003]

"It's called a madison." "Oh. In my day they called it a tracheotomy."

Anybody get that thing where they click on a Conan remote, thinking they've finally found one they haven't already seen...and then realise they've seen this one too, and there might not be any unseen Conan remotes left?

[@clickbait7322]

They were😄 If Icould go back to any time I'd choose either the end of 80's or 90's.

If they aired the same bit today, Conan would totally be on an apology tour because that guy said the bike looked "Gay"

Distant System Hi, he speaks enough that I hope he's just being a "Debbie Downer" for the skit. If someone dressed like Conan wanted to ride around town with me and ride that silly bike, I would have thought it was the funniest thing. The fact that someone would dress like Conan and ride that bike would make me think it's all for fun. Especially with cameras following us.

[@virgilgrissom7753]

[@virgilgrissom7753]

RA.YK For me the 90's had no downsides.

[@watermelon520b]

Virgil Grissom there was censorship, it just wasn't quite as prevalent because the Internet wasn't widely available and obviously, there weren't ten gazillion tv channels competing for the same thing. Censorship isn't going away, it just mutates like a cancerous tumor.

[@freedomfighter2463]

Virgil Grissom Their was more freedom and more violence back then where I lived. Now its liberals vs whatever and society is more soft.

[@albertdesigncompany6964]

I can't believe NBC actually let Conan ride a bike in the middle of NYC. This was before NBC realized how much he was worth to them.

[@deletedwaffles]

Not worthy enough since they fired him.

[@virg0_lem0nade]

yeah this was in the early years when he was very much still proving his worth. The show wasn't widely beloved like it is now, and neither was he.

[@grottphd9090]

Sough you say that so flippantly. It's not a trivial matter that speech can be controlled. And if anyone believes that someone who uses the word "gay" derogatorily is deserving of the social crucifixion that will inevitably befall them, you've got a screw loose! Have we made progress? In some ways. In some ways we've entered into a new era of book burnings.

OtterloopB I just think it's unfair when Christians condemn gay people, but then don't march and condemn themselves for judging people. I don't care about homosexuality thats between them and God. My job isn't to judge, but to love.

[@StoredMars]

Is this where Futurama got the "smell-o vision" line from?

[@ContentRequest]

sure

[@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un]

*TL;DR:* Yes. Conan wrote for the Simpsons and Futurama I believe (could be wrong). But he didn't create that idea. After WW2 essentially the entire world was either in ruins or broke, US was the only super rich country and they were looking to the future already. Flying cars, the Jetsons, colored TV, and yes even television with smell were all part of that future. I cant recall the person that directed it but there was a famous movie/show and a New York Times best seller in the 60's about it.. that's where Conan got it from.
