Sona Was An Awful Grandchild | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@Chicaneist]

M Night Shyamalan couldn't write this plot twist. Sona being the true psycho in the Conan-verse is insane.

[@colonialstraits1069]

It’s entirely believable and the clues have been right in front of you, the whole time.

[@speciousjackal]

Literally everyone saw it coming. It’s as much of a plot twist as the movie “Lincoln” being about Lincoln.

[@Kitty8791]

​@@speciousjackal Wait, you mean that movie isn't about cars?! I was really hoping to learn the history behind the development of the Navigator. 😜

[@mediocreman2]

It's not insane if you've been paying attention the last 20 years.

[@lisas5211]

I'll say it again. I love when it's just the three of them telling stories.

[@emu_warrior]

I prefer just the three of them rather than any guest no matter how famous the guest is.. it's so much more fun and interesting with just them playing around

[@ontariosmosthaunted]

It's why the summer smores series is so damn good!!!

[@danyyyyyyy]

yeah i wish there were more chill chum clips XD

[@violetkarbalaei3793]

Agreed. Interviews are very interesting but the three of them are so funny and warm and we hear more from Matt and Sona who are both really interesting people.

[@nukeninmgt1504]

My jaw dropped open lol

[@KingEdwardMMVIII]

Beginning of video: Sona saying kids sound like ducks for bullying great grandma conan. Later in video: Sona literally torturing her own great grandma 😅😂

[@solitaryman777]

The last few seconds where she was laughing and kind of embarrassed at her own foibles while she had her hands on her face sounded like chickens clucking

[@florete2310]

7:12 That short moment when Sona was thinking to herself "should I really tell that one??"... You can literally see that thought on her face, LOL😂

[@michaelnolan6054]

Good news! 62 survived the Hindenburg disaster. Sona is still a monster.

[@TheRealBobbyMC]

Hindenburg is a weird one. Such a well known and cartoonish video of it happening, and yet most just of the passengers just jumped off when it got low enough.

[@Sammie1053]

​@@TheRealBobbyMC the Tasting History video on it was bizarre. So many people made it out despite only having like 45 seconds from ignition to colossal inferno. And the photo of the head chef being dragged from the wreckage with a lit cigarette in his mouth is WILD

[@stackhat8624]

yeah but they're all dead now

[@regina_filange2.0]

Aww, I love that they found this comic for Conan❤

[@maremacd]

I’ve met children who were like this - - like had a cruel streak - - and they turned out to be fine adults. It’s crazy to me. I think some people have to learn empathy and others feel it naturally. I’m certain if I had made an elderly relative cry, the guilt would’ve been what haunted my sleep.

[@ROF-o3o]

there's this infamous case of the "child of rage" which is really dark- what sona and her brother did seems like nothing but mean child's play- and i guess the situation turned out best as it could. the kid and her brother became "fine and normal" eventually but her therapist that "cured" her got sent to prison, so uhm, google at your own risk.

[@coleeckerman1390]

Some kids don’t really understand the pain they’re causing to others, so they take things too lightly

[@mediocreman2]

They're not fine adults. They just conform because they realize if they show who they really are, they will not be accepted.

[@johnbrownspiers8242]

Be kind: Don't remind

[@pendragon6207]

I was not expecting Sona's story to get dark😂😂😂😂

[@Carrie25]

I didn’t judge Sonya for not wanting to share her bedroom, but I am judging her for making her great grandma cry on purpose

[@TheRealBobbyMC]

It never gets old checking up on Conan’s instantaneous references such as the Hindenburg crashing at Lakehurst. I think he only had to hear once as a child that the incident occurred at Lakehurst Airfield and it was immediately a burned in and obvious fact to him from that day on.

[@pavanatanaya]

Hey Pal,,,you could have said Spoiler Alert

[@koi-pond]

Sona at the end, just laughing with her hand over her face, says it all!! 😂

It takes a lot to get Adam to react and his expression when Sona tells her story shows how horrifying it is 😂

[@ConanThreepwood]

I love that Adam was sitting there when Sona said it so we saw his reaction

[@alec57]

Always wondered why he sits at the table with them and the rest of the team is out of veiw. Not like he contributes anything to the convos lol.

[@Jackrazorus]

Years ago, when I was still teenager living with my parents, my stepfather's dad used to live with us. With age his dementia started to kick in. One day he was outside sitting on a porch. My stepfather (his son) asked him what he is doing. He said he is waiting for Helen (his wife, who passed away like 25 years ago). My stepdad reminded him, that Helen passed away long time ago. He started to cry uncontrollably, he was refusing the fact and said, that he is going to call his brother (who at that point was also dead for like 10 years). After that incident, it happened few times, that he forgot his wife is dead, but least the stepfather knew better and just managed to send him to his room without going into details.

[@MatthewMateo99]

Sona really matches Conan's FREAK 🤣🤣🤣

[@claudiadarling9441]

I like to imagine Conan's grandma had a teen girl gang roaming the streets of Boston in 1904.

And Her Name Was Maud is a comic strip by Frederick Burr Opper. It first appeared in the Hearst newspapers on July 24, 1904.

[@DualStupidity]

Sona whyyyyy lmao. I thought I was terrible as a kid but I loved my grandparents

[@iamtheoceanr]

"Think twice." - Ok, thanks Conan. I wouldn't be surprised if world peace and a new global utopia is ushered in with that amazing advice.

[@renatocann5142]

Sona's story reminds me of my great grandparents- they lived far away so I only have one clear memory of meeting them in person. I was prob 5 or 6 and my great grandfather had by then pretty advanced dementia and came up to me just trembling and muttering/groaning and I hate to say it but I more or less thought he was a zombie, I was terrified. My great grandmother "translated" the noises and said "he says he loves you very much" but I just wanted to get away asap. Felt bad later looking back but kids be kids. Great grandmother was awesome though, lived to 103 and yeah went from horse and buggy and with many houses not even having electricity to a world of commercial jets, Priuses (Prii according to Toyota), and the first wave of smartphones.

[@solitaryman777]

Change, old folks saw so much of it. It's a wonder so many coped, and remained decent humans

[@batoutofmel4959]

When I was about 8 or 9, and attending Catholic school, there was this one kid Dale in my class who we realized would always have a psychobilly freakout whenever our teacher read "Kidnapped" by Shel Silverstein. I get why my classmates kept asking to hear it again--kids are um not very kind sometimes--but why our teacher kept reading it to us, I could not say.

[@nat7278]

" Hee haw" is that the same reference in Its a Wonderful Life where Jimmy Stewart says "hee haw"

[@bbert-fauxlopher]

You have the best commercials. I love th. My great grandfather was 104 I was six and my grate grandfather said something in German when the nurse brought him the pills... My grandma said that he didn't want any "F'n" horse pills. Turns out I'm Jewish ? Sometimes you get what you need!

Yeah Sona, that is awful.

[@reagankendrick2175]

And she continued to laugh about it. I would have been ashamed to tell that story.

[@Dori9111]

She was only ten years old at the time and as a child didn't fully grasp what it must have meant to her great-grandma and how loss feels like.

[@joeypierantonis7576]

@Dori9111 OK. Still awul.

[@regina_filange2.0]

Omg Sona! Diabolical🤦🏻‍♀️

[@jeremyc9593]

I have to admit that I did something similar in middle school. We had a kid whose mother had passed, and when I found out that he would cry whenever someone mentioned her, I would try to get a many people as I could to go over to him and ask him about his mother. Yes, it was abhorrent and something I'm still ashamed of, but many years later in our adult years I ran across him one night and profusely apologized to him, which he thankfully accepted. Sometimes kids just don't fully understand their actions until they get older.

[@betsyduane3461]

I was the first to post the strip on the last episode they talked about it, strange how Gourly did zero research. Here's my original post: 'And Her Name Was Maud' is a comic strip by Frederick Burr Opper. It first appeared in the Hearst newspapers on July 24, 1904. Maud was a revenge-seeking mule belonging to farmer Si Slocum and his wife Mirandy. Most of the action was a build-up to Maud kicking someone into the air. Si was the most frequent victim.

[@lberg5575]

I wonder if this is where Norman Lear got the name Maude.
