Pets.com Is Suing Triumph the Insult Comic Dog - 5/2/2000

From Late Night with Conan O'Brien

[@JoelHernandez-yl6yw]

Conan has been killing it forever lol

[@casmo87]

@Iconoclast don't forget The Simpsons

[@aaronrivera7546]

The crime of the the late night changes in the last 5-10 years is that we have all of the same guys in every position. Colbert is ok now, but his commentary was much better as biting parody he could do on Cable. Seth Meyers style was better on SNL Weekend Update than the current show where he cant really be biting as well. Fallon is horrible marketable trash comedy. Corden s horrible marketable trash comedy. Jimmy Kimmel is a weird mix, as he was on the man show, and yet gets less funny and more corporate as the years come

[@erikt3162]

Aaron Rivera Bingo. Conan has been kicking it since 1993. A year older than me born in 94’.

[@aaronrivera7546]

@@erikt3162 I'll always love Conan's use of the Bugatti Veyron Mouse character in his last week at NBC. Verbatim: "Does this character make sense, no. Was it crazy expensive for NBC? Yes."

He looks like a baby in this clip! Lol so young

Robert Smigel is a fucking legend. He has worked on some of the biggest comedy shows in television history. I would love to see a stand up comedy special.

that would be a great show... for Triumph to poop on! :-)

[@ZERO_O7X]

I love how Robert created the voice of Triumph when he was just a child because he had Eastern European family members with that same accent. I can only imagine how funny it was to see a child talking to dogs with that voice. 😆

You can't own a style, you can only own a trademark or name. These types of lawsuits are so stupid.

[@RealCoolGuy]

It's all for publicity. I never would have heard of Pets.com or their mascot if it wasn't for this lawsuit...

[@kavalogue]

RealCoolGuy not really publicity considering pets.com went waaaaaaay under

[@JacaboBlanco]

But the lawsuit claims Robert Smigel started it by sending them a cease and desist and accusing them of copying triumph. If thats true that's pretty ridiculous of Robert. Lol

Did you ever watch TV Funhouse? All Smigel, vulgar and hilarious. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it and are a fan of his.

Smiegel didn't create Mr. Bill. He was a child. Yes to the Duo though.

[@TheIkaika777]

The creator and voice of Mr. Bill is Walter Williams.

Bob Odenkirk is a friend as well as worked as a writer on Conan. Odenkirk also starred as Shady lawyer Saul Goodman. This means that Saul Goodman was Conan's shady lawyer during this lawsuit.
