Conan Was Too Old For “The Goonies” | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@ftuT]

It's cool that Gourley is so unapologetically geeky to the very top level.

no hesitation, speaking his truth🤘🤘🤘

Matt's... 'whoa ,Take it easy', and 'this is getting Dicey.' 😆😆😆

[@obroni]

Matt knowing all the details of the Pippi Longstocking movie better than Conan is priceless.

[@DanielThureskog]

Then again he got interviewed for the Swedish 2-part Astrid Lindgren documentary series Astrid Lindgrens älskade filmer (Astrid Lindgren's beloved movies), where he talked about his love for Pippi and his Pippi book readings with his daughter.

[@iGaveLiaHIV]

Every time Sona says "awww maan!" I smile, I don't know why but I do.

[@markwiza582]

I watched Pipi Longstocking, I went to the beach at Misquamicut, and I’m your age, Conan. I like to think we may have been getting severe sunburns and jellyfish stings at the same time, within frantic, arm-waving sight of each other.

[@werdna1969]

That "Pipi, are you crazy?" part definitely needs to be in Conan O'Brien biopic.

[@ct6852]

Just moments after his 'fatheerrrr' dandy-child impressions.

[@justinbrown7444]

1:31 “I remember being very annoyed that all the kids talk over each other” exclaimed Conan as he talked over Sona. 😅

[@TheStarsAndGod]

“yeah i don’t think you know about things.” 😂

[@flyjarrett]

Goonies was great. I was 8 years old. A fun little Easter egg in the movie with Josh Brolin, when they’re about to enter the tunnel, Sean Aston says, “there is something down there, Josh!” Instead of calling him by his characters name, Brand. No clue how it got left in.

[@GZP1023]

I dont think you know what easter eggs are

Richard Donner was probably done with dealing with those annoying kids who kept talking over each other's lines that he just called it a day after they got the take.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

I was born in Germany in 1982 and somehow ended up living on the island off the coast of Florida where the filmed the Pippi Longstocking movie. That house and the oldest continuously operating bar in the US are both here on this tiny island. Also, GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!

[@florete2310]

*Heidi* 😆 ... As a German: I am still laughing😂😂😂. And also: Good choice, LOL. Heidi kind of is Switzerland's Pippi Longstocking...

[@coosoorlog]

Had to check for some reason. John Matuszak, who portrayed Sloth, was a famous football player (won two super bowls, that's something right). He died of drug overdose two years after the movie came out. He used heavy meds for chronic back pain, not all of which were prescribed. Apparently, the pains were immense, which made it very easy to become addicted to opiates. Tragic story. I like to think he went down fighting.

Goonies is still an all time classic and the whole cast were excellent. Still watch it once a year.

The Princess Bride is one of those movies for me. I was shocked the first time I heard a young person say they had never even heard of it. Shocked. What are the youth coming to?

6:13 Not Old man. He is called Lilla Gubben and the word Gubben means The old man, so translated his name is The Little Old man! And Conan, don’t called the Pippi Långstrump (Longstocking) movies from the late 60’s - that’s the original! But I am glad that you thought of her and well you do look like brother and sister! ❤❤❤🇸🇪

[@jkhoover]

Fan Correction: It wasn't just gold Conan! If you had paid attention, there was also jewels and other rich stuff. So, "rich stuff" covered everything. I believe you owe an apology Conan.

[@Picklesnot-co3k]

Thank you for getting all bent out of shape for something unimportant ... but then again, I'm older. 🌟

[@remnant24]

You're nitpicking. He chose to say "gold" but he just as easily could have said "treasure" or whatever.

[@jkhoover]

@Picklesnot-co3k And you're too old to understand what a joke is too, apparently.

[@rmoultonrmoulton145]

Wow.....pretty sure the OP is being silly in their tone. I read that as nothing more than a fun/sarcastic comment. You repliers suck. Possibly because you yourselves don't have enough rich stuff.

[@Sunmonks]

I seriously want him to issue an apology. This is the biggest error of his entire career.

[@BigBadGrun]

Come on bro, you are never too old for the Goonies.

[@GymAndSun]

A lot of us were too young for The Goonies. Still enjoy the nostalgia. It’s like The Golden Girls or Cheers 😅

[@Rockovissi]

Favorite movie of all time. I saw it when I was five in ‘86. I was blown away.

[@fletchermunson6225]

Cormak McCarthy (SP?) is a very gifted writer. Subtle, dark, sometimes terrifying such as in Old Country and The Road. One line in Old Country was so hilarious. A Killer is helping the racist old woman put her groceries in her car. She has no idea how close she is to getting murdered and she says to him "You dont often see a Mexican in a suit." I laughed of hard. That's a writer.

[@ianobrien3248]

Cormac, and 'Blood Meridian' is a masterpiece.

[@MR-mc6rj]

I love Conan's jacket, I love Matt's jumper and I love Sona there I said it.

[@YodatheHobbit]

It's strange, I think Josh is a GREAT actor. But as Thanos I think he's just fantastic, and I can't tell if it's his performance which is making him fantastic, extremely well done CGI which is doing it, or the writing. He's like a different person in his facial expressions and emotions as that character. Maybe the theatricality also adds an "IT" factor which is what makes him so good to watch too.

Bley really is the office punching bag, (in a joking sense I know he’s really not mistreated) so when he’s gone I do wonder who’s next on the chopping block. And for my money it’s Sona.

Conan is literally 10 years older than I am and I completely understand his argument about the Goonies. The film was huge for me at the time, great to hear his perspective.

[@josephaxel8759]

Rocky Road?!! (Sloth!) I was 13 years old when Goonies came out so I loved it! It was a vicarious adventure and a coming-of-age movie. I had a crush on Kerri Green! Another coming-of-age movie that came out also in 1985 that I didn’t see until I was in my early 20s was Fandango where the adventure was driving to Mexico to dig up Dom.

Data was my favourite as a kid too. I had a lot of Lego and my main minifigure that I used to represent myself was a Data that I made myself. I even made a little trenchcoat for him. Man, I was a weird kid.

[@toddwilkinson5474]

I saw Goonies at an early premier just before turning 16. At the time, I thought it was a fun movie but kind of silly. I live about an hour from the locations. Later, I had a tough time watching it as all the kids are constantly spazzing out and yelling over each other.

"...the movie...the movie...the movie" and then Conan finally drops the name -- The Goonies -- a minute and a half in. Please remember to refer to your subject by name regularly to help your audience along, folks! And here's where I have to agree with Conan that I was a little too old for The Goonies, too, but I can see how it would've been so huge for kids of that generation. Great ensemble work by the kids in that film.

[@pendragon6207]

Pippi Långstrump is brilliant. I reckon the dub is awful though. But the original in Swedish is top notch. "Lilla gubben" the name of the horse, is an affectionate term for male loved ones, especially children ^^ Try watching it in color too.

[@BalokLives]

Conan and I are the same age. I saw it when it came out, I don't have kids, and it was gold. For him to say, "he was too old" is just wrong. LOL I don't think it was necessarily a kid's movie, it was a movie with kids in it. Pippi Longstocking did burn itself into your brain, but in the best way. In the "Pippi, are you Crrrazzy?" way. Conan probably doesn't realize this, but the reason I like Conan is because of movies like Pippi Longstocking.

[@Kate-ms5js]

Totally

[@franciet99]

[@rgarimella]

Incredible thumbnail btw

[@patreekotime4578]

I was exactly the right age and demographic for that movie and just never got the appeal. It just always felt dumb to me. I loved ET, Gremlins, Short Circuit, Flight of the Navigator, Raiders of the Lost Ark.... but Goonies was right up there with Temple of Doom and Beyond Thunderdome as movies that everyone my age loved, but I just could not stand. So i'm not convinced its an age thing.

[@fintan9218]

How did i never realize that was young josh brolin in the goonies?!

[@vinceven]

i think the reason why Conan didn't like the Pippi movie was because it was scenes cut together from the Pippi Långstrump tv-show from 1969.
