Kevin Nealon on Conan is comedy gold

[@tovarisch2788]

I don't know how to describe his type of humor, but I really dig it.

[@poopandfartjokes]

I would describe it as a carousel. It goes up and down and around. Circular. All good things.

[@trashcandy.]

everything he does is extremely absurdist, but he almost never breaks. it's actually amazing when you think about it.

[@alexbaum2204]

His humor reminds me a lot of the humor you see on British panel shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats and Would I Lie To You. Very dry, very quick wit. Very, very funny. Check those shows out if you dig Kevin Nealon. Lee Mack from Would I Lie To You is insanely funny.

[@columcunningham4458]

I think Conan has described his humour as “Ever Green” with an absurdist point of view. Just a couple Irish lads having a Chin Wag!

[@spaceo8568]

I would qualify him as an absurdist cuz everything he says is hilariously absurd.

[@eddthewordsmith]

That slinky bit is genius.

[@ducciomassaro689]

I'm Italian so English is not my first language... I didn't understand that joke, could you explain it please? Thanks :)

[@h3artands0uLL]

@@ducciomassaro689a slinky is a toy and it’s a classic past time of kids, when they get one, to start it from the top of the stairs and watch it slink its way down the stairs by itself using its own momentum. So he was saying his wife was dressed as a slinky and she was going down the stairs lol. You may have to Google “slinky” to know what one looks like. And KZbin videos of one going down stairs

[@ducciomassaro689]

@h3artands0uLL ohhhhhh ok I understand now, yeah that's funny as hell ahahahahaha I searched on Google translate but it was giving me completely different things. Well thanks man :)))

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

It's hard to describe his style of comedy. He's just incredibly silly, and his delivery and timing are supreme.

It's very much like Canadian humor which is heavily inspired by British humor. Kevin is neither Canadian nor British though

[@jsmith8858]

Deadpan maybe ?

[@CT99999]

Yea, he's clever! The technical term for his joke format is "paraprosdokian". I believe his genre would be considered absurdist, but I'm not an expert.

He’s like the American John Cleese, the dry humor and the build up that keeps you holding on, until the grand slam punch line.

[@jamesbennett5189]

On point! Nice.

[@borisivanovmusic]

That’s why I love him on talk shows, particularly Conan. He’s so good at hiding the bit and keeping sincere until the punchline. Conan is always along for the ride with the audience.

Is it? That just sounds like a joke

[@nuworldremix]

I’m so happy someone said it. He’s exactly that!

"How did you get into photography?" "I got a camera." Conan was trying so hard to keep a straight face.

[@barrywagoner5191]

I saw him perform live about 15 years ago, and when he opened his act by saying he had been seeing a woman off and on, and that she lived near a lighthouse, I knew he was my comedy spirit animal... My kind of humor.

7:19 I had an automated paper towel dispenser ordered for my warehouse, and I installed it and got it up and running, and it only gives a tiny sliver of paper at a time. I search through the manual to find out how to adjust it, and there is no way to. However, it does state that there's a "paper saving" "feature" that, if you swipe for another towel less than four seconds after it's dispensed one, it will give you a 20% shorter piece. There is no way to turn this off. I'm not Mr fuckin krabs I'm just trying to dry my hands. Give me the goddamn paper.

[@vuuvovuuv]

I'm not super super knowledgeable about Kevin's stuff, but I've seen from a few videos that every so often you can tell he's really really excited for the joke he just set up and is about to drop and you can see it on his face, and he's not exactly gonna break character or anything but there's a genuine giddy glee that he knows in about 5 seconds he's gonna kill, and I love it (he does it in the slinky joke in this one)
