Jordan Peele & Conan Improvised A Christmas Movie Pitch | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@amellowblue]

Cocan is an absolute master in goofing his way out of awkwardness lmao the way this man triple backflipped out of that Gervais shade conversation

[@amellowblue]

@@javidelvalmusic You gotta be slow as hell to think that wasn't shade. Google a backhanded compliment.

[@amellowblue]

​​@@movieace1295Nothing in particular, Gervais is just a corny goofball, and Peele fancies himself a cool popular guy with cool popular glasses now that he's an acclaimed director and not just a clown from a sketch show. In reality of course, he's a dork who doesn't have enough social awareness to realize that sneak-dissing somebody is not Conan's vibe and he won't accept a compliment if it's at the cost of disparaging someone else

[@ryry20002]

@@movieace1295 I hadn't seen Gervais in years, but I remembered him being funny. So when I saw he had a new comedy special out, I figured I'd give it a go. It was pure concentrated anti-woke crybaby BS. Quite a few jokes landed on punchlines along the lines of, "and then the blue haired non-binary snowflake cried."

[@virilekarma]

Derek is $#*&ING hilarious. Just an opinion. Sure, he's included heart hitting elements that might turn some off... But, it stretches the line of what we can laugh at and what we want to laugh at: death, getting old, and being perceived to be an irrelevant human. Having a handicap sibling Really helps to comprehend the humor. Having a sense of humor that is constantly growing and learning how to laugh at anything is a super power. Gervais knows this and is helping people to open their minds, hearts, imaginations, and humor.
