"Shittin' Tinsel" is now one of my go to phrases.

[@ajohnares]

this section is comedy gold. of course Conan is gonna hide the Greek bit in his pocket until the end and throw out the callback punchline.

[@132ChrissyJo]

HEY! I'M GREEK! Well ... with a wee bit of Irish! 🥰

[@tobiace6708]

yes, he nailed it so hard there :D

[@larrychoiceman]

I love love LOVE every time you can see Conan realize that he has a great line coming up; there really is a little twinkle right before "...Can't Stand The Greeks". It's adorable.

[@Autumn_Forest_]

Just like Norm Macdonald.

[@aadityaa5250]

reminds me of norm mcdonanld

[@markawestern]

The fact that so many of Conans greatest recurring bits came during the writers strike and his show actually got better during that time is a testament to his comedic genius.

[@Hellodarknessmyold]

“No, I want to impose it on other people”. 😂 lol 😂

[@FairsleyDifference]

How the Greeks Stole Christmas would be a fun read for the kids.

[@reaganching1967]

Sona's laugh is the equivalent of an entire audience.

[@FilthyandFree]

I've been listening to Conan's podcast for forty-seven years, I'm Greek, and I'm not going to take this abuse anymore.

[@diezgp]

Classic Greek, sheesh.

[@Wabajak13]

Greeks really do say a lot of things....

[@nc8982]

You Greeks, moaning AGAIN. Always moaning (I've no idea if this is a sterotype)

[@stoops120682]

What I absolutely love about this clip is that it contains one of the few examples of Conan *not* landing a joke ... and, let's be honest, we've all been there ... but handling it perfectly. At 8:24 he tries to squeeze a little bit more out of the current track (and Sona's not feeling it), then he tries again at 8:36 (and Sona's still not feeling it), and so at 8:41 he realizes he's exhausted that particular thing and perfectly saves it by transitioning via a previous winner --- the whole "Conan specifically and oddly hates Greek people" bit --- and then we're off to the next thing, with a fresh start. Great improv, and it really hammers home the "laboratory of comedy" vibe I get from these videos.

[@Wabajak13]

I've found it really interesting to observe the juxtaposition between the writers brain (Conan) and the improvisers brain (Gourley). Matt will go first thought and always try to go in wacky directions, but Conan will stay on a joke or a line and work it until it's reached maxed potential. Sometimes past the breaking point (as you mentioned) but it's a great dynamic that works well.

[@calicatus7556]

january 6 is 3 kings day in uruguay. kids get gifts on that day over there! many armenians in uruguay, btw.

[@CagrlComert]

"I'm in the corner trying to order a plastic santa" "My wife says that's cool on the tree, but I swear the god if I was let free" Man, all this rhyming

[@krystal1722]

I appreciate people who go all out and decorate for the holidays. I was a JW until recently and the only thing I had to look forward to were the lights and decorations. I love when people decorate their cars; every once in awhile you'll see an flattened elf on the grill of someone's truck :D

[@mrdaym]

I LOVE people who decorate for holidays. Makes you realize that we're not all completely dead inside. Much love decorators of the world!

[@brownkemosabe]

For me, this is the best gift. The gift of the gentle giant of comedy.

[@ml9867]

Sona's gifts are delayed because they came here floating on a tire & arrived late just like she did.

[@marvin19966]

and they are stolen (watch the fingers)

[@hi.7038]

🤣

[@conniggit]

She gives dynasty reruns

[@amyjackson8725]

Before Conan even said it, I had that lighted Santa in my head! I know EXACTLY what those looked like! I also LOVE colored lights. White is bland. I am in CT and grew up in the 70s-80s so have a lot of similar stories/memories. Conan would LOVE my decorations!

[@jimr9499]

Whattupy CT sister!! I definitely feel you (and Conan) on that!!

I want Conan to bring his show back, such a great cast and guests and so much fun to watch 😁

[@dspiffy]

I WANT CONAN TO HAVE THE GRISWOLD HOUSE!!

[@SIBIRIAKcom]

I don't remember if they celebrate it in Armenia, but in Russia we also have New Year by the old calendar. We call it "old new year". It's a week after orthodox christmas.

[@NarekAvetisyan]

As an Armenian who lives in Greece I say... don't be afraid Conan, go ahead and buy that human Santa centipede.

[@RobertSaxy]

I’m Puerto Rico growing up Christmas was a small holiday but Jan 6 we would celebrate 3 Kings day as the main gift giving holiday which makes sense to me because that was the day Jesus got presents

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Gourley’s callback to the human centipede was brilliant!

[@wendydarling5790]

You should have Neil and/or other family members on the podcast. Bet there are some entertaining stories there.

[@geraldinemcgowan2385]

"Hog Wild"--Conan, people do not use that expression enough!! Thank you for using it!

[@sew75962]

In high school I had a friend whose father would always say he needed to have enough lights on the house to be able to read the paper at night. This included a light up sign pointing to the chimney saying “the fat man goes here”. It was epic.

[@fdrstan]

Merry Christmas to King Conando and his crew!

Hey we Greeks invented everything! Even podcasts. Merry Christmas Happy Holidays to you all!!!

[@MrDan11422]

For the past few years I have my Christmas a few days after the 25th. Not only does it save money but it saves stress. Keeps me from buying a Walgreens present. The best gift I gave myself because I brought it up to my family and everyone agreed. This way I do the in laws on Christmas day and my own family 5 siblings, 20 grandchildren celebrate tl usually on the next Friday. Buy some gifts from the discounted rate. This way I can spend all day with the in-laws and a full day with my side and the same applies to my brothers and sisters. We used stress only spending a few hours then traveling half the day making two different sides. Ended in an argument with the wife. If anyone gets the chance to try it you will never regret it.

[@samaraisnt]

Wow what a cool idea. How did you tell your family & do you have the same date every year? xx

[@keithp115]

Who's with me and agrees that Conan is like a 7 year old at Christmas time?

[@Ray_2112]

Not just at Christmas time... 😅

[@GokulOnFire]

Everyone should be silly & go hog wild during festivals. That's what they're there for. Approaches like his wife's are what's wrong. Be "sophisticated" on normal days, have fun on festivals. And it must be shared w/family & friends. So home is the place to do it. And the woke "I don't wanna force them to SEE" is stupid. Let them also celebrate theirs & express themselves.

[@brianmorton9419]

I’d just like to say, as someone from richmond, the house in Christmas vacation has no game. Come down to Virginia and we’ll show you some lights

[@historiasdeinternet569]

Haha Conan really needs to know Mexican catholic Christmas

He's already in love with/raised in the sister holiday: Irish Catholic Christmas :-)

[@thelifeofdavidq2613]

[@LycanLink]

Conan: That's what I think Christmas is all about. Sona: My god, what did you do to Christmas? I mean... Is he wrong though? I love celebrating Christmas, but it's hard to deny what he said.
