Conan Was A Childhood Picky Eater | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@PlayermakerBlue]

Confession- Usually when they are interviewing guests, I only watch that podcast clip once. But I lost count on how many times I rewatch clips where it’s just the 3 of them chatting, bickering and insulting one another 🤣

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Yes!!

[@06alepea1]

Yeah the fine-tip pen one is my personal fave.

[@herbert_ACAB]

Sometimes I'd just play old episodes and just listen to the beginning and the end when it's just the 3 of them.

[@tangibleterror2421]

SAME! Just the 3 of them is all I need. Maybe a Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Nealon, Paul Rudd or Timothy Olyphant... Maybe lol

[@chrisal3]

Same

[@thirdworldTrini]

Sona's laugh is the cue for Conan to just go on with the jokes 😂😂 and he delivers every damn time

[@HorridTemplar]

Sona is so awesome. I'm listening to her book because audible gave me a 3 month promo for $1.99

[@terri6854]

@HorridTemplar　Is this you Sona? Or one of the Audible PR team?

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

I simply cannot get enough of Conan. "Father, the toilet seat on the third floor is vinyl and that's not how I like to ride. And you know that Father." My god he makes me laugh.

[@mxyrpancakes]

I listened to the one line like 5 times. It is amazing!

[@Taylor-z2v]

“As we can all tell, I’m all boy” had me rolling lmao

[@MONSTERaider]

Conan loves to annoy Sona, yet he also loves to make her laugh, what a beautiful friendship they have.

[@k_hack9441]

“Third from the top and fourth from the bottom” must’ve been etched into his mind all his life lol

[@kab9706]

A middle child will go way out of their way for a small amount of attention. God bless 'em.

[@alno2554]

LA DEE DA DEE DA

[@maydavalle]

[@mrdaym]

And he's been looking for attention ever since. Done a good job at it as well.

“FATHER!!!!”…I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard from just one word! Comedy Gold…thank you 🤣

[@ramyatn1953]

@Kdmurk Same 🤣🤣🤣

[@kab9706]

It was funny, but he was putting in so much energy to make the bit funny. I think he was trying hard to lighten the mood, because when he initially said his dad didn't care, it was kind of sad.

[@ctrainbeats]

the reason for that and its one word also: delivery! which conan is a master

[@TheMichaeljmanzelda]

Father! 😂

[@samfilmkid]

What about…KADEKAI!!

[@MaxFleye]

I imagine little Conan dressed like the boy in the Blue Boy painting.

[@kit2770]

Lol. I just googled "Blue Boy painting." You're spot-on. 😅

[@joeytj]

Conan towards the end knew he struck gold with his Young Conan voice lol. He loved how that came out and kept repeating it. I was laughing my ass off in the shower listening to this.

[@CanadaDan]

"The great depression I cludes the first 10 yrs of my life" 😂😂😂 ah Conan. Sona truly enjoys her job there, has an awesome time, Conan makes her life every time

[@turnerdrywallrestoration8077]

One of the funniest voices of all time. 😂 We need a cartoon series about Conan’s childhood “3rd from the top and 4th from the bottom“

[@TheCJD89]

Conan making Sona laugh her ass off is truly the sight we love to see! :)

[@mrdaym]

7:23 Sona's absolutely bewildered face when Conan says "it was the depression".

[@petabread33]

As the 3rd Irish Catholic person of 5 kids, I fully acknowledge that this is the closest Conan has ever come to discussing his real feeling on the podcast. Matt had it right when he discussed pity- it sucks and Conan is nice not to blame his parents outright

[@littlebumgorf]

Did you see the Japan segment with the rented family??

[@ASparkleross]

And this is why you have to listen to every episode. Regardless of the guest or topic, out of nowhere, Conan will suddenly go a HILARIOIUS riff about the most random thing and leave you crying. I was listening while getting ready in the morning and was just doubled over cry-laughing. "Faather!"

[@jayrock2288]

there was talk of gerbils!!!!

[@HOTD108_]

Are you telling me that Conan is having Richard Gere on the podcast?

[@rik8809]

I’m pretty sure that Richard Gere is trying to put the whole gerbil thing behind him. 😁

[@ct6852]

Gotta appreciate the sharp turns Conan makes. Annoying boyhood Conan refusing to ride a vinyl toilet seat...lol. And Sona's laugh is iconic.

[@patrick5729]

I love Conan childhood stories.

[@maydavalle]

💛😁

[@ilovericelol]

Oh man! Only Conan and my 8 year old can make laugh this hard. 😂

[@LangKuoch]

the last “FATHER!!” killed me so much I had to rewind it at least 10 times while listening to the podcast 😂

Same!

Watching Conan as my daily escape from the depressing life.

Boohoo

@@TheOrlandoTrustfull I'll bet you're just the perfect friend, what with all that caring, considerate, & most of all, charming positivity you've blasted all over our faces. I'm gonna go get cleaned up. Thank you.

[@headlight31]

I love when Sona is just dying of laughter.

[@jasperherr8694]

Fun fact: In the previous podcast, Jordan Schlansky said he was Conan's food taster in Japan because Conan was a picky eater who won't eat everything on the omakase (Japanese course menu).

[@lstir24]

“Well first of All as we can all Tell, I’m ALL BOY!” Great Conan line

[@jiensuyang3915]

Conan was well brought up clearly. A great bunch. It’s why he is grounded.

[@NC7491]

Oh man, this was great. And I don't think it was a prepared bit either. He just created it out of thin air on the spot. In general, a few of those intro bits are some of the best comedy bits I 've ever seen. My favorite one is the one in which he described how he wearing orthotics, but he's still a sexual threat.

[@joshjones9749]

This had me effed up at work lmao such easy and natural comedy off the top of his head.

[@kathyannk]

Laughing at Conan’s insane funniness is medicine.

[@ctrainbeats]

"I dont even know which one you are" Conan's dad, probably

[@HellfireDJ]

Not knowing what their kids like or not is the most dad thing ever.

[@andersestes]

Love it when Sonia gets going 😂😂😂

[@mtrps_]

conan casually trauma dumping shall be compiled on youtube in the near future im sure 😂

[@lachauntiswashington231]

I love it when they talk about their families 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏

[@pendragon6207]

This one had me laughing and gasping for air to the point where my 7 year old son essentially told me to shut up.

[@jonathancruz5716]

This is my 10+ times watching this video and the other one about Luke. Love it

[@jvissers3086]

Thank god for the ad breaks, they're the only reason I can breathe.

"Listen here, Rick..." 😂

[@CustomizedUsername]

The follow up “Pater” clip had me rolling 😂

[@cathleenburns6069]

As an Irish Catholic who also comes from a family with 6 kids, this speaks to me on so many levels. God I wish I could sit down with Conan and swap stories! He would fit in perfectly at my family's dinner table.

[@yashc1995ify]

"Good Heavens and Lord above "😂😂😂😂 Conan even makes ads hilarious.

[@ericdmaki]

need more adult conan mocking his child self. would be a great cartoon!

[@CptCrash21]

I would love to have Conan's parents on the show one time and watch Conan perform this kind of shtick and their reactions.

[@Logicalminded-xvc]

I was waiting for this one!!!

[@MutantMsh]

I love Conan! I think when they cut to commercial in the middle of these clips they should use a different studio backlight color so we know it is a commercial/different instance!

[@LogicalNiko]

I mean, it’s partially true today. I don’t come home and think what my kids absolutely want and don’t want to eat. We decide on what we’re eating based on either what we have in the house or if we’re going to order food. Then usually eat making some version of it that it’s acceptable for each kid is a secondary concept. Plus I only have two kids and when I’m just mind numb from getting off work I doubt I could recall their exact likes/dislikes either.

[@lisas5211]

This was one of the best rabbit holes ever. LOL Brrrroillled.

[@Jona-sr4ih]

Conan was neglected as a child. I'm so sorry to hear that. But he's been a great comic because of it so I'm glad.

[@marvinpelt6700]

why hasn't Conan made his own cartoon yet?? he comes up with some great characters

[@xscorpio1976]

This needs to be a charector in an animated series 😂 I picture him dressed as the "little boy blue" with pantaloons and red lockes

[@bwuh]

5:39 to the end: I LOST IT

[@MichaelLKW-Fahrer]

They really should make these shows into cartoons. Like they did with Ricky Gervais show.

[@scottpoyer5678]

I had to find this on KZbin after listening to it on the podcast. "FATHER, HELL-OOOOO!"🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying.

[@UberNeuman]

Rick O'Brien is now going to be my new alias.

[@GH-om5rp]

I love conan so much it hurts

[@Davett53]

Hilarious run!....Yeah, my father didn't know anything about what I liked or didn't like, either. This was across the board. Not what hobbies I liked, things that interested me,...pretty much nothing about me. And it was just me and my older sister,...just the two of us, and he was oblivious. He didn't know where the silverware was, or how to load the dishwasher. He mostly worked from dawn to dusk,..at the company he owned. He left for work before I arose, and came home when I was already asleep. I'd see him for 15 minutes a day if I was lucky. And worse yet, he didn't want to talk to me, about anything. He was an older dad,...10 years older than our mom. He left all the personal time with me, to my mom.

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

Young Dainty Conan is my new favorite character.

[@mnqblmmrt]

My father didn't give a ...... about what I wanted I loved him dearly and he loved me, but parents weren't occupied/busy with their kids 24/7 Those were the times

[@Ryanfern99]

Young Conan sounds like Sylvester Jr. from Looney Tunes 😂

[@montrealmark1994]

I was going to post the same thing. Definitely sounds like Sylvester's son when he says "Father".

[@ChristelVinot]

conan, you're still on fire after all these decades

[@brooke9297]

I felt sure he was going to say, “My son’s name is Rickets.”

[@rachelkerr2860]

lmao at how Sona said "i'm just checking my wound"

[@pcbassoon3892]

There are only 3 kids in my family and my dad never knew what I liked. He has been trying to feed me scrambled eggs and grits for 34 years.

[@pfefferkuchenmann]

In Conan's defense, he was a child during the largest economic crises since the Great Depression.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

All of them?

[@mavfan1]

Did you say "actually" and push your glasses up to the bridge of your nose before you typed your comment?

[@kab9706]

But his parents were like a doctor and a scientist, or a lawyer and a scientist? I think if they had money trouble, it's from having WAY too many kids. Conan often jokes about getting zero parental love or attention and just being one of several.

[@jrules3918]

« as we can all tell, I’m all boy »😂
