Patton Oswalt on Conan 90s

Patton, back in the King days

[@Redlegcook]

"There's decades of this stuff ahead of us!"

[@calisongbird]

This isn’t the 90s, it’s the 2000s. Patton mentioned watching American Idol, which started in 2002.

[@mrsorg87]

The Michael Jackson joke made me laugh for all the wrong reasons.

[@johnclhugyugihjbvgbkj9729]

So many prophecies in this.

[@taphaam9901]

System of a Down, SQUIBBIDY DOO

[@papagrounds]

"Because it's BLUE!" 😂

[@BimTalch]

[@eamon2please]

February 4, 2003, according to Wikipedia.

[@ankurmishra1343]

also andy left in 2000, he isnt there, so definitely after 2000

[@janlinette3869]

Yeah uploader is an idiot

[@calisongbird]

American Idol started in 2002.

[@shc3754]

I remember this segment that night it aired my brothers and I laughing about the Music videos

[@jillmo6458]

The Michael Jackson jokes were too real.... D:

[@redcapphony]

This wasn't the 90s. They advertised Davie Chapelle Show which didn't air until 2003.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Likewise American Idol

[@sulufest]

Wow, those MJ jokes were so on the mark. 😳

[@blazerocker1734]

Squibalee *booo!*

[@theohaegele9011]

when he said president o'Brien i thought he said president Obama and was seriously spooked for a second

[@VoodooDangerbird]

President Biden

[@JasonJBrunet]

I saw this when it aired (not in the 90s) and that Michael Jackson bit was THE FUNNIEST THING I HAD EVER HEARD in my fucking life. I would randomly think about it and laugh out of nowhere FOR YEARS. And I once googled it to no avail but tonight I just stumbled upon it by chance, didn't even realize it was coming til he mentioned MJ. It's not really that funny. It's kind of funny I guess.

[@MattandHolly920]

Same here! You can't find this by searching baby dangling. It came up for me too, randomly recommended. This is the episode of Conan when I saw Patton for the first time and its super iconic. Cheers!

[@parahund]

i think i got an idea how he got depressed

[@willdom21]

hahahaha

[@oldcorpsl4905]

Oh man, The Continental...'90's...so run down but the absolute best breakfast in town. 2 bucks. Used to run in security circles for some horrific nudie bars and outcall girls. Not a proud moment. Youth, what can I say. Anyway, off work about 4 or 5 am and us guys and gals would head to the lounge for a high quality breakfast and 'entertainment'. You know, where depending on the act we might all chip in to get them to take a break, 'for the love of God'!! Good times...also where I met my now ex wife. Cripes...

[@calisongbird]

This is 2003, not the 90s. Patton mentioned watching American Idol, which started in 2002.

[@oldcorpsl4905]

That place was still around in 2003? Criminy! It was a crap hole in mid '90's! Wonder what happened to the heap...

[@abegon3879]

He still looks old in the 90s

[@johnclhugyugihjbvgbkj9729]

Uhhhh, clean your screen.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

This wasn't the 90's. He mentions American Idol which did not exist in the 90's

[@abegon3879]

@@A-small-amount-of-peas my bad

[@MerkinMuffly]

Oswalt before the world hammered him down into a depressed pile of KFC bowl goo.
