[@sdunsee]

the tiny furniture is f'n brilliant

[@dead2675]

That is just Kevin hart Furniture

[@razorraysolarsavings70]

Lol ya! 😂

[@scesfizia]

Took me a minute to figure it out 😅

[@Scott-J]

My god, Andy is such an underrated comedian. He doesn't say much, but when he does, wow!

[@IaMYoungWalker22]

+Scott J honestly that dude could probably have his own talk show

[@ClemsonFan46]

+IaMYoungWalker22 I'm not saying he couldn't, but it is easier to sit on the side and be the comedy sniper than it is to drive the car. Maybe he prefers to do that.

[@Ph0be]

He always knows when to say the right thing, totally kills it

[@younebi]

+Scott J Actually he's done a sitcom called Andy Richter Controls the Universe in 2002. Noone knows that because of the poor ratings. Eventually, show was cancelled. Then he was involved in several other projects, too. But they were also not successes. So he tried his luck.

[@sarveshsvaran]

Well i remember him from asssscat ... he is actually quite funny

[@mysteriousdoge1298]

His tie is taller than me.

[@DonEBrooke32]

god.....DAAAAAAAAMN, seven feet tall? O_o

[@michealangel1556]

Well Devon’s 6’5 and everyone seems too think his height is typical so idk why 6 inches taller is considered amazing

[@tee4222]

Micheal Angel errrmmm... because only 0.00003% of people are taller than 7 feet

[@CupcakeStudioVoiceover]

HAHAHAHAHHA

[@themaverick7707]

Congrats, you're the same height as his meat atleast.

[@djquinn4825]

To Shaquille O'Neal even the 6'4" Conan is a little guy.

[@Woozie894]

Dj Quinn you should see him with kevin hart he's like 5'4

[@roeljanssens3738]

5'2''

[@gideoncheung8731]

everyone apart from Yao Ming is

[@TRJ2241987]

It's amazing how much Shaq has aged since this interview. He still looked young in 2012

[@prodigy9885]

TRJ2241987 it’s been 8 years...

[@MrRebuzno]

Is kevin hart one of his fingers?

[@Adnan-lt5rn]

Forget him I LOLED at that.

[@mastermindepsilon9517]

D1R Rebuzno Just the thumb.

[@mastermindepsilon9517]

***** Adam Sandler met him already, so no.

[@MsLm97]

D1R Rebuzno OUCH lmaooooooooooooooo

[@tukiluka]

Ahahahahaha

[@Okoii]

I didn't look at Conan and notice the miniature set at first and i almost shit my self.

[@JazGalaxy]

Me too.

[@RaiceGeriko]

"Do you want the regular voice or the doctorate voice?" "The doctorate voice." *continues to speak in the regular voice* - lol

[@JithinJacob333]

It's his regular voice but it is different: the tone, the emphasis, the speech pattern. It's different

[@RIPJoeRogan69]

It's like when patrick from spongebob gets a new brain lol

[@peppapig3068]

Best comment ever

[@lechice5767]

Lol spongebob's amazing

[@asgerottosen934]

+Bill Cosby its even a better comment when it comes directly from bill cosby

[@Laurynski]

What if we got you a new brain? Why is it condescending comments like these that arise when a black athlete wants to better himself/herself and seek higher education? Is it because people like you are actually projecting your own insecurities about your lack of education onto those who are aspiring for more? Reassess yourself so you can use your time productively to become better like Dr. O’Neal rather than waste it making insignificant comments that don’t progress your life in any way.

[@adrukova1407]

@@Laurynski Amen, well-said! Glad you can see beyond the surface comment/"joke" and read what they really mean. R@çism is alive and well with these types of people.

[@jessem6064]

Shaq, the rock, terry crews, Mike tyson...those guys look like they are going to kill you if u look at them wrong but they are the nicest guys ever XD

[@jessem6064]

hahahahaha XD

[@huntersmith8952]

Mike Tyson is an asshole😂😂😂

[@ElBribri]

Big Show? instead of Mike...mike would literally punch you just for the sake of it

[@jessem6064]

ElBribri oh..i dont pay so much attention to him and someone told me he was a nice guy XD

[@rustynugget2288]

you know a lot has happened in 20 years right? mike tyson seems like a lovely guy now. this isnt the 1990s anymore

[@daxoze]

Just imagine: Conan, Jordan Schlansky, and Shaq go to an Italian restaurant.

[@jesminkhandoker688]

It would become a masterpiece

[@dudefromtexas425]

They would have conversations in various ways

[@brigglerintune]

😂

[@TimeForDunston]

The fact that they set up a tiny set for Shaq is actually priceless.

[@CupcakeRollerblades]

Is Is everything smaller than usual

[@DailyDotaTV]

Milly G.H.L.H that was the puppy scene joke where they had this setup and conan said they should make an entire show like that. than shaq came on show. he's pretty big so they thought: "man he is big already. lets take the small furniture from the puppy scene and make it even funnier" :D

[@CupcakeRollerblades]

DailyDotaTV Ohh okay thank you I thought I was losing my marbles

[@jane7977]

Milly G.H.L.H HHAHAHAHA just died laughing at your comment hahaha

[@megacrosbie]

Milly G.H.L.H i dont thinks so

[@unclebard3916]

C. Crosbie it is so

[@xchump]

hahahaha lmao I didn't notice at first all the furniture was tiny. I just sat there thinking wow Shaq is so huge. I also thought Conan was sitting on his table. Maybe I need to go to bed..

[@frefremcgee9196]

What was Andy doing? Eating the couch with his ass? lol

[@FaRtBoMb42]

Andy's DR. J line was really good lol.

[@Vagazoides]

Shaq is a comedy genius

[@MoRo1333]

I almost choke myself from laughter when the video started and I saw the set. genious comedy

[@drdickinson5910]

"You're to BIG. I hate those words" HAHAHAHAHA ! No one got it.

[@jewman303]

I got it 😂😂

[@thenapalys123]

I didn't get it please help

[@gobotjones]

+Dr. Villain I didn't get it, either. Can you explain it to us, please? Is it because Shaq misspelled 'too'?

[@drdickinson5910]

***** sure.

[@johncrossing]

+Thee Adjudicator no. It's a penis reference.

[@CrownedGaming]

Lmao I love the set for this one it looks hilarious its all so tiny makes -shaq- errr... Dr. Oneil look even more huge lol Also, if you cut 2 ferarri's in half and put them together doesn't it just make a normal sized ferarri?

[@MassFlash]

+SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran PSHHH. DO NOT QUESTION THE DOCTORS DECISIONS!

[@freedom8753]

SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran -ok-

[@jeffacosta4835]

He bought 2, cut 1 in half and added it to the other whole car

[@GoodOneLULE]

Kevin Jones youre so full of yourself :P

[@tylito4764]

SorrowfulM // MapleStory Veteran spell it right god damn

[@marcantonios1066]

I find it interesting that Shaq's doctorate thesis is about effective leadership, the two types of leaders being the serious and the humorous. I feel that the former would be a Kobe-esque kind of leader (leads by example, serious) and the latter would be the fun-loving Shaq of his Laker days. Just seemed interesting to me, since they did have a feud let's say back when they played with one another.

[@jasonwyman1873]

+Gawe Ewag Yep. I think Shaq is a lot more focused and intense than he lets on.

[@IndianaJoe0321]

Dr. O'Neil was known as a goofball, @@jasonwyman1873, during practices. Kobe Bryant is on record as saying that if Dr. O'Neil would have put in as much effort as himself (Kobe) or as Michael Jordan, then Dr. O'Neil would be known as the Greatest basketball player Of All Time.

[@estopasowner]

That face Conan gives at the audience in the minute 2:07. ''Don't Laugh'' and the audience obeys.

[@Dante-uk8pr]

When we meet aliens we gotta send NBA players

[@jewslikefunk]

Shaq has a really great sense of humor. All round good lad.

[@axel9292]

Lol, i was like "how big is he?!" the first 20 sec of this before realizing...

[@Cofe82]

OMG they actually did interviews in the Puppy Conan set!

[@ethanaleman]

He's got a great sense of humor and I love the little set you guys are funny built the whole set for this interview

[@mmacore674]

He makes Conan look like a hobbit

[@chiinijain9602]

Yes! They finally filmed an episode on the miniature puppy set...

[@x7ogforever]

he's such a nice modest guy aw

[@Elfrast]

I don't blame him to want to retire the name Shaq. He wants to be taken seriously as a doctor, he's worked hard for it and wants to be recognized for it and not only as Shaq.

[@IndianaJoe0321]

Yet, @I. Wynn Wynn, Dr. O'Neil's degree is not honorary, he actually earned it.

[@penny15lolk]

It took me 1 minute and 23 seconds to realize that the set was a miniature version of their regular set.

[@Slipknot4769]

I'm glad that Conan and Dr. O'Neil are representing us tall guys in a good way.

[@Tommah1000]

O’Neal and O’Brian are two funny American Irishmen.

[@xiaosa1000]

3:32 that's a pizza!!!

[@marias7599]

xiaosa yang 😂😂😂😂

[@Lucracku777]

I can't wait to call him DOCTOR O'Neal

[@IndianaJoe0321]

He earned in back in 2012

[@ProZayScious]

that set though omg haha

[@MusicforMe123]

This was hilarious. Shaq, Conan and Andy, you know it's going to be good. It would be funny if Yao Ming walked in on the set.

[@trippedbreaker]

There aren't many people on earth who can make Conan look small. What a giant.

[@robertofontiglia4148]

Oh the time it took before I noticed they were in a miniature set... I've never felt so alone...

[@darKILLusionnn]

Don't worry buddy. I'm with you orz

[@ricardo.mazeto]

Conan never fails to make me laugh. = )

[@Raidou10]

Conan sounds like a kettle at 0:23

[@prem20027]

Think that was andy

[@shrimpm4445]

Hey I’m 2 years late but yeah it was Andy.

[@SirNilzey]

He's about as much Doctor as Dr. Dre.

[@MCny12]

give him some respect. its some hart work to get a degree and he's proberly smarter then you and me so pay som respect. (no hate)

[@GoingMach5]

He has a degree, though. An actual one. You should do your research.

[@SirNilzey]

Because Organisational Leadership is totally legit, amirite?

[@mobaby1979]

***** some people are lifetime learners, and of those, some like to legitimize their learning and/or challenge themselves to achieve 'the real thing' vs just reading books and researching casually.

[@mobaby1979]

***** I don't disagree that our education system - including higher education - is a joke, but you surely can understand that in the social circles that someone as filthy rich as Shaq is part of (due to fame and $$$), if you DO wish to be respected beyond your height and skill at chasing an orange ball around a court - and have your intelligence legitimized in SOME way - that to those friends and colleagues of his, what you just spouted off is 9 times out of 10 just going to sound like the intellectual equivalent of 'short guy syndrome'. It doesnt matter how well you argue those points with those people...and to be fair, those people are at least not complete dummies. It's like trying to convince any and all future girlfriends that marriage is nothing but a piece of paper, or that diamonds have monetary value ONLY due to purposely restricted/regulated supply. Try that on every girlfriend, or your 'college is a joke' speech to every colleage, and see how much respect you earn in 5 years time. Spoiler alert - not much.

[@seanmartine4011]

I laughed all the time seeing him in his chair making it look tiny

[@WATCHERINA7787]

Is that the dog set?

[@SownSky]

yes

[@subtlyobvious]

no you're having a stroke..

[@rikpost6217]

Nicholas Bryan You're*

[@subtlyobvious]

Rick Post Fixed!

[@rikpost6217]

Oh god, someone who didn't get mad.. first person ever haha, nice. :D

[@notrockstar1310]

2:58 when you call a teacher by their first name

[@JaredStalkerDrums]

His doctor voice sounds like Dave Chapelle's white guy voice

[@TheBlekko]

"Shaq is getting his doctorate" So he swallows doctors for breakfast?

[@montrealthis]

Shaq is the new Chuck Noris.

[@MrGodofcar]

no

[@AcesPlace22]

I spit my sandwich out, at the "Dr. O'Neil" moment hysterical

[@almightypear]

2:59 shaq machine broke

[@bialoglowkaful]

Love it how Conan is this giant man and he looks adorably small here

[@Biboche23]

Conan is a pretty tall guy as well but looks so small next to Shaq 😂. Shaq is a gem ❤️

[@monapause8108]

you could sit in Shaq's hands and still have room for a date. I love that they're sitting at the Puppy Conan set.

[@anzius4584]

I love it how so many people are loosing their shit over Shaq geting a doctorate, like an ex basketball player couldn't get a doctorate for some reason :P then there are the Shaq lovers who get all butt hurt from some random guy on the web saying that Shaq's full of shit. People just because someone is hating on Shaq for getting a doctorate and saying it doesn't make him smart or whatever they are saying... Remember these ppl are sad assholes who feel as though just because a person talks some way or looks some way it could someway affect their intelligence.

[@srirachahotsauce6989]

I had to stop and take a moment to realize that the furniture is miniature ...man for a second i thought shaq was really taking up the whole couch

[@Leo-ws6cp]

Love the but at 2:33 when Conan was about to say something and then doesn’t 😂

[@inebri8ed]

OMG I LOVE THAT THEY ACTUALLY USED THE MINIATURE SET

[@shadowassasin]

Damn Shaq is a down to earth man. Thank you Conan and Andy. :)

[@korpen3770]

*I wonder if his downstairs neighbor is proportionate.* I am not the only one who wonders this, let's be real.

[@imagydmusic1129]

Size 23 👟 ... Says it all

[@JesseVBuddyTV]

HE WAS IN SAN DIEGO!!!!! BUCA DI BEPO IS SO GOOOD!

[@patricija4179]

Splittin 2 Ferrari's in half and combining 2 halfs together will get you...the same Ferrari from the start.

[@mj4ever1332]

THEY FI ALLY DID A SHOW ON THE SMALL SET?!

[@kotirenata98]

Aaaaaa this is the Puppy Conan set😂😂

[@silas34]

Having Shaq on the Puppy Conan set is genius 😂

[@bobibest89]

Give Shaq his own TV show and watch him rip.

[@userman9301]

He s a freaking giant ,Conan appears as a smurf next to him

[@davelezewski1868]

finnaly a guest who's actually taller than conan XD

[@stevenm6526]

Imagine Shaq sitting in front of you in the movie theatre

[@greengoku10]

He sounds so depressed, it's like he's thinking of the movie steel throughout

[@tonehiei2642]

greengoku10 I don't know why but he always does

[@billsmith6239]

Rip Kobe 🐍💜💛💜💛

[@powderbluelsd5118]

Bill Smith yeah I feel sad for dr.onile

[@iwasadeum]

If I proposed a dissertation like that I'd be laughed out of the university....

[@IndianaJoe0321]

Yes, @Ivan Rodriguez, it's a professional degree, rather than a philosophical degree. However, it is still a recognized doctorate level of achievement by the U.S. Department of Education.

[@NytemareQueen]

Wonder if they told him about Puppy Shaq...

[@cezarmartins3489]

Dude that studio is hilarious

[@CAMPAZFilms]

The quiet ignorance of this tiny set is probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen. :)

[@MrManish005]

Good ol 2012

[@RJ-rt1jp]

Love the tiny set, bring it back please! Or a really big set maybe

[@charliebrown3072]

What's up with the furniture!!!!??? Lol

[@MJDHX]

Lol, when I saw the pic I said: "That looks like Buca di Beppo". Nailed it!

[@agrarianarc]

I can’t stop staring at Shaq’s hands

[@pedersenproductions2004]

To quote Conan in the first puppy Conan “I like that anybody tuning in right now thinks their having a stoke”

[@Luxcaput]

Sha... I mean DR O'neil is really funny!

[@dusansumonja1797]

For the first time Shaq doesn't look like a giant that's blown out of proportion. Though Conan and Andy are still evidently shorter than him.

[@DontGetBoard]

Haha the puppy set!

[@adilsonbaptists7554]

Yao ming and Calvin lane the only two men I've seen dwarf Shaquille O'Neal

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yes, Google Plus is a social networking site that started in 2010, it is a bridge between Twitter and Facebook. I probably already know about it.

[@skogis1992]

Love the mini-set!

[@cainpoe]

The mini set is dope as a coke deal.

[@EmpireState24]

Dr. O'Neal sounds like Theo from the Cosby Show

[@vikkipakki]

3:05 that timing was insane :P

[@Hhla8485]

Shaq, do you see that moon in the background, well earth look exactly like it.

[@Krackerjax]

2:26 Dont tell Stephen Colbert this news, he will want that name added to his official title.

[@BboyArmo]

dude, there are so many students right now in the same major as I am that don't do shit, don't show up and somehow pass the class cause they are in a sport and they need to pass to play and support the school.... it's probably the same situation... the school is happy enough to be like write some bull shit and will credit you... it's good business for the school, no school would say no

[@Philanthropyman]

I still call Pdiddy Puff Daddy, nothing will change for Shaq.

[@HGBMD]

Dr.Shaq nuff said 🤣🤣

[@winonadaphne6445]

ARE THEY IN THE DOG SET HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@berryfairy68]

Chopping up two ferraris... that's having an abundance of money 😊

Shaq should open a miniature village.

Doctor Shaq should be his forever name
