[@PaperHamburgers]

Sona yelling at everyone to shut up resulting in Conan erupting into laughter is one of my new favorite things.

[@bigAl89]

Right??? That was one of Conan’s biggest belly laughs in a long time ❤

[@ByGriPhone]

Sona's inability to transition into a German guy from a French one is hilarious

[@huesos_azules]

she can trainsition into a train

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

Red Boy's eyes can feel like Sauron's. Wonder how you would do Gimli Son of Gloin...? Hmmmmm...?

[@wibblywobblymadman]

[@falsemcnuggethope]

@@emu_warrior quiet, you're waking up my boys!

[@ZeroKool7140]

5:07 Matt’s apology to their French listeners went under the radar. I love it.

[@a5-30-31cts]

Ditto!

[@meytecc8601]

He's really a master of quick wit.

[@Pete_Finch]

“That’s the French collaborator” 😂

[@greghicks5960]

😂😂😂

[@vikramkrishnan6414]

I have watched the Exorcist, I have watched Texas Chainsaw massacre, but Conan saying "shleepy-weepy" is maybe the most disturbing thing I have ever seen

[@HOTD108_]

The Exorcist is now officially the second scariest movie. What is the number one most frightening film you ask? The Flash (2023).

[@John_C_J]

I hope nobody makes a gif out of it.

[@zizinnnn]

@@HOTD108_i dont know what's worse, the shleeping or the weeping

[@CensorshipIsAMuhDuhFuhKuh]

Next, we get him to say moist shleepy-weepy. That'll give you nightmares!

[@tysontaggart7246]

​​@@HOTD108_I loved the scene in the Flash (2023) where Nicolas Cage showed up and Nicolas Cage'd all over the giant *e n e m y* spider

[@persuasivebarrier2419]

3:11 sona saying she streams twinkle twinkle little stars for “her boys” in the ad after conan announced his “boys” have been asleep since 1989 right before is some masterclass editing.

[@JITCompilation]

She’s gotta put her boys to sleep somehow

[@beccasaurusrexatron]

The more comfortable she gets, the higher Sona's comedy chops. It's a beautiful thing to witness

[@timy9197]

She’s more comfortable when Conan is far away from her lol

[@Coastfog]

Sona, lowering her voice an octave and speaking incomprehensible: "I'm something of an impressionist myself"

[@arjuna_palguna_partha]

4:50 Conan wheezes so hard on Sona's impressions it sounds like he started a drain pump😂. This banter is Gold

[@benjaminethomas8473]

This might be my favourite intro to the podcast ever! Sona's whole french-german character work was amazing and then the "oh it's funny when Matt does it" was beautiful. Thank you guys for making this

[@roems6396]

It was perfect. Goddamn they are great together. Conan elevates everything.

[@jerdyyy48]

there was talk of gerbils

[@cecefil]

"Why are you milking a cow?" 😂

[@sonukunnath1549]

05:44 I love it when Conan is genuinely happy and enjoying Sona's performance.....😄

[@doggedout]

Sona's musical angry French / German milkmaid impression was some Grammy consideration worthy character work.

[@fernandod3510]

And the Grammy, for best character work, goes to..

[@inappropriate_comments]

@@maniswolftoman" to be the funniest of all three of them" ? !!! Really?

[@jamesthenabignumber]

I wish I had Sona's confidence.

[@John_C_J]

She's a professional.

[@colonialstraits1069]

Then you too could succeed without any discernible talent. I’d rather have her luck.

[@a5-30-31cts]

@@John_C_J She's a "F------g" professional. (It says so on her nameplate at the office.)

[@jessss27]

​@@colonialstraits1069You sound jealous...

[@johnthomas5314]

I don't think Conan would've kept her around for like 15 years now if she didn't have any talent.

[@jrules3918]

Matt wasn’t lying when he said he has a unibrow 6:39

[@heretogo]

I live in France and Sona impersonation of the french guy is pretty good

[@marcstephen506]

Matt's impression of Sona's French impression was so abrupt and physical. I felt some things

[@LincolnWorld]

Sona is just naturally hilarious.

[@cdbrown30]

Debatable

[@JudgeDredd_]

@@cdbrown30oh you’re a proper guy you’re a proper boy

[@Mojenn__]

I'm french and this is absolutely how we sound.

[@catalpaillustrations]

Sona's "proper guy" is 100% the best... best character work ever!

[@JudgeDredd_]

The proper guy was actually hilarious hahahahhaa

[@irishpaddy2323]

Sona: "I'm a professional!" Conan: Belly laughs Just perfection.

[@benzaiten933]

I love how their roles were reversed and it was Sona who nearly brought Conan to the breaking point with her impression.

[@kettyspikes]

I kept listening to this segment on repeat. Sona doing the heavy lifting in bringing the laughs is a treat

[@nishsingh8553]

Sona was working her ass off doing her characters 😂

[@krylesangerbeaver]

Sona milking the cows with German accent actually woke Conan's boys up

[@CensorshipIsAMuhDuhFuhKuh]

The boys are back in town!

[@redwolfgaming5700]

After hearing this on the podcast this morning I just had to see the video of it 😂😂😂😂

[@inappropriate_comments]

The French/german/italian guy was so unexpected as it was surreal. These three stooges need to do an episode while driving around LA in a car clearly identified as CONAN O'BRIEN NEEDS A FRIEND podcast.

[@rodney0nline]

I chuckled, listening to the podcast, but lol'ed while watching Sona's scene work in this clip!

[@itskevinzerbe]

It's funny to hear Sona insult Conan for looking at maps when that's basically my entire job as a geographer haha

[@jonathancineus6424]

I genuinely love these people. 😊

[@kingvegeta1695]

I love that Conan’s laugh is slowly turning into Mark Hamills joker lol

[@emu_warrior]

I could listen to these three talk trash for hours and hours every day lmao (better than the "celebrity" interviews 100%)

[@cleverusername9369]

It's so much better watching Sona's character work than listening to it 😆 the physicality is so good

[@donovanharrison3516]

I really tried to not to chuckle through this nonsense 🙄.... nope couldn't do it, I'm such a child and you guys make my 'boys' smile 😆. Another bulls eye Conan. Keep 'em comin', keep 'em comin'. 🙏

[@CensorshipIsAMuhDuhFuhKuh]

Boys lives matter.

[@LycanLink]

Sona doing character work is simultaneously adorable and excruciating. 🤣

[@LucaAlgisi]

Everything abolut this bit was geniunely and effortlessly funny; it’s one of the best examples so far of this trio’s great true-and-tried chemistry… thanks guys!

[@mrgonzale0978]

This was hilarious when I was listening to the podcast. But watching this video is even more hilarious.

[@arivenes_]

Sona that was amazing

[@ludovictrottier425]

My goal in life is to more like Conan and find a friend exactly like Sona

[@jayrock2288]

Yes I've been waiting for this video lol

[@augusthavince8909]

You do pay her! She's trying to work! And we all got a sneak peek at her process! Her process being _typing in stereo_ .

[@Brian28021]

I started this clip thinking, "Of course a Zoom call is going to negatively impact the chemistry and banter!" They then spent 7:29 seconds proving me dead wrong.

[@TheMusicalArtist]

The cutest and most hilarious attempts LOL

[@jasonezzell6901]

“Charm like this don’t fly coach”

[@jasonhare8540]

Okay it has to be said . On that camera Matt looks like he's about 15 explaining to Conan why he didn't do his homework 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ct6852]

NAILED the French guy expression. Could taste the baguette and smell the wine.

[@pitchpolice5086]

"What are you talking about?! I'm a proffesional." Yes Sona, you are.

[@JSTrudel]

As a native French speaker; Sona’s phrase made her eligible for a free poutine.

[@pomona.remembers]

Sona is a treasure

[@vengeanceX88]

I wanted to hear Sona's impression of Andy Richter the Swedish-German🤣

[@reverbva]

I needed to see the video of Sona after hearing the podcast! Worth it!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@adamchristie7626]

Sona speaking French. I just can’t lolololol

[@Sakomaru707]

Sona doing the French guy and doing the italian gestures is perfect

[@dancoyle6911]

Sona doing the German character was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time hahaha

[@xx_theartfuldodger_xx1105]

I love zee Bratwurst!

[@beauprimeaux6888]

Ah wee wee. lmao

[@awabkhalil83]

I've been waiting for this video for ages

[@wyntersoncreations3695]

I like the Chill Chums.

[@mrgonzale0978]

They should have a segment we’re sona do the news as a French/German person

[@earlymorningladyfarts]

Conan is so freakin' funny.

[@Universemasterj]

Sona just put on a classic Conan completely nonsensical character that’s pretty much just a silly voice and accent lol

[@doppiovinegar1292]

Jesus Christ this is such a comedy gold! I just can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂

[@the_trevoir]

Comedy gold. I can’t see because I laugh-crying so hard.

[@gohardorgohome6693]

it's hard to beat the chemistry of everyone being in the same place though!

[@user-sg9cb1mm7c]

Listened to Sona’s characters at least 10x. Watching puts it on a whole new level lmao

[@unprepaired-gamer]

Hearing Sona trying to tell them to Shut the F*** up. She could easily have her own podcast and just talk loudly. As a French woman.

[@umair111]

This is absolutely amazing

[@OlviMasta77]

Conan laughing himself red 😂

[@Atsom655321]

Anyone else notice Conan's voice of his testicles is also the voice Jim Gaffigan did for him on Pale Force? 😆

[@TheCJD89]

Brief and hilarious change of dynamic...usually, it's Conan doing bits and Sona is reacting. Funny to see Sona try some characters :D

[@chrishall6451]

Conan...sorry about your boys. I'd give you a hug, but I'm afraid they'd wake up.

[@CensorshipIsAMuhDuhFuhKuh]

It's not the boys you have to fear waking up. It's their buddy hanging with them that's the troublemaker.

[@zizinnnn]

im discovering gourley in older drunk history clips and ... talent there🎉

[@pinverarity]

Gourley sotto voce: [I’d like to apologize to our French listeners]

[@user1111AB]

man you guys are in a good groove

[@EatinPaste]

The French can't top that.

[@dwu67]

I was shopping at Trader's Joe listening to the podcast and trying so hard not to laugh when Sona did her 'impressions'!

[@zangmaster]

I laughed so hard listening to this the other day lol. I too love Sona's character work lol

[@frankeckhardt9657]

When conan says "Guys keep it down. My boys are sleeping" he sounded like Larry from 3 stooges.

[@EddieDuesentrieb]

That's the French collaborator

[@kybercrow]

Just what I was looking for. Conan doing voiceover for his testes 😂

[@MrThunderlight]

french collaborator - thank you Matt Gorley :D

[@6egotronix]

3:27 OoOOoOoooo i wish she was eating the big cookie in front of Conan :D I gotta see that vid of Conan knocking the cookie off her hands

[@Youngstown529]

With the writers strike, Conan and his team are keeping me sane with top quality entertainment!

[@lachauntiswashington231]

this is too much. One of the best episodes🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@emu_warrior]

"It's for my boys, not me" has different meaning after the start of this video

[@alexandercampbell7903]

Conan's testicles sound like Jay Leno.

[@NHatemN]

He is either doing Nixon or Leno impressions, his impressions game is funny, but not strong.

[@ManBearPig20oh10]

Not that i dont skip the ads in the middle cause they be funny

[@JudgeDredd_]

Proper Guy Conan is hilarious

[@perrymitchell4072]

I love that Conan's boys didn't know GWB was president but knew Trump was on a reality show despite being asleep since 1989 lmfao I'm surprised Gorley didn't call him out for that

[@NotPorn]

I think this may be the best impression of Conan's meek testicles we've seen yet!

[@mandalorian48]

I needed to laugh just now. & I knew I came to the right place well before hitting play. That was comedic gooooold. Gold, I say! ..Sona needs a raise . 😆

[@machinus]

Surprised Conam didn't whip out his Arnold voice.

[@spiderriff]

I want this to go mega viral. So bad. 😂🎉

[@Mtl-zf9om]

The new podcast Conan O'brien need a tan is awesome.

[@dactorjones2430]

Sona crushed in this bit

[@joels5150]

Sona giving Michael Scott a run for his money with those characters…

[@paulinepiacampo3432]

Omg 😂😂😂😂😂

[@laurapringleswilder]

"Conan Proper Guy". I'm Conan, I'm a Proper Boy I do Proper Things!

[@travismoore8337]

Hey Conan. I’ve been a long time fan of yours since the beginning. I was hoping you could explain something I found in one of your remote sketches from 7/12/2001 (Apartment hunting with Andy Blitz in New York). Why was there a giant 911 on the newspaper on the apartment floor?? This was less than 2 months before Sept 11. I know that everything that is captured on camera is very precise and well thought out and meticulously planned so can you please explain this. Thanks

[@RK-ck6pl]

The German never stopped being French 😂

[@TheRedGameboy]

This reminds me of Peter Griffin's variations of a John Wayne impression.
