[@stegt8484]

It's also really strong too

[@roachdoggjr1940]

It's almost MacDonaldian the way that she sees the audience turn on her, and she doubled down on it after being politely asked to stop.

[@junojuno3745]

Damn that laughing joke. I keep doing that noise at the end and it makes me laugh over and over. Now I'm stuck in a loop. Help.

[@alfreddelatourquipenche8287]

Tell me where and when. I'll put you out of your misery.

[@KatTheTruth]

Lmao I keep doing the same. I think I have always done it but wasn't even conscious of it.

[@leighlew3YT]

“stuck in a loop* 😂😂😂

[@asapfame]

watch the new epsiode of her talking about this

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

Stop reminiscing!

[@jaybestnz]

Conan said later that bit was one of his favorite moments in comedy as its so utterly unfunny, but her delivery and commitment made that one of the ballsiest bits in a gig.

[@andrewspielman1921]

Who came here after Conan’s latest interview with Tig?

[@CarlosMensuckass]

I've watched it a few times already, but came back- it's amazing knowing now this was only her second appearance on there, she's such a badass.

[@Lucky_Chase]

Right here. One just has to.

[@dawnibolical]

Meeeeee🖐🏾

[@JamieTheHowe]

yup

[@Pants4096]

I had to. I'm a huge Tig fan and I'd never seen this, though! I love both Tig's humor and Conan's willingness to embrace unknown talent.

[@OwenL2020]

Andy Richter, Conan, and Paul F Thompkins, all legendary comics in their own right...laughing at Tig Notaro pushing a stool around.

[@ODUBlue]

I vividly remember watching this when it aired. It was just so offkilter and dry and surreal. I made a mental note of her that night and have been delighted to see her name keep popping up more frequently in things I watch. She's earned it.

[@fuckyoutubeman]

she has 3 podcasts that are all great listening to if you run out of tig and need more lol

[@MkeKen67]

Her recent story about the "make believe lounge" is hilarious.

[@TiredHighProductions]

@@MkeKen67 what are you talking about? I tried looking up what you said, and couldn't find anything. What's make believe lounge? What story? Is it a podcast, standup? How can I consume what you're talking about? I feel so lost all of a sudden lol

[@lekoman]

All of that to set up "stool movement" is one of the best uses of two and a half minutes of airtime in history.

[@karynsmith7655]

I literally spit out my water when she said "you're reminiscing about 1 second ago"

[@JohannesWiberg]

If nothing else, it's a killer Chewbacca impression.

[@joelbates6499]

YES!! I was going to make that comment! "Sounds like a Wookie to me"

[@theresaterri]

I don't think any other comedian could do this. Tig just has the perfect facial expressions that tie into every joke in a way I've never seen. It's what I love most about her. I am so happy for her success!

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Tig's facial expression while "pushing the stool" was priceless! LoL

[@ruscopcoltrain]

I feel like this was the perfect panel to have behind her for this. 3 guys with 3 of the weirdest senses of humor in existence just eating the whole thing up.

[@perpetual_bias]

Who's in the middle?

@@perpetual_bias Paul F Tompkins.

[@greg_216]

5:22 I love how Andy adds comedy to nearly everything. His lagging laugh does so much for the bit.

[@ldeen7897]

I think all her comedy is her really developing those intrusive thoughts and making them into jokes

[@AdrianMBO]

Who is here now because of HANDSOME?

[@stangsO9]

Seen this years ago and had to rewatch it again. Seeing the plexiglass made me laugh even more 😂

[@TeamCoco]

I think Tig is taller though...

[@Astronometric]

The stool totally sounds like Chewbacca.

[@gustavgnoettgen]

Like Chewbacca messing around 😆

[@craig.tanner]

Tig isn't only incredibly funny. She is a beautiful human. The world needs more tigs.

[@xETCxx]

Andy's laugh at the middle...

[@pedipirate]

There is no reason why this should be funny. Why can't I stop laughing at it?🤣

[@MkeKen67]

It's kind of like the "Kristin Schaal is a horse" bit. I forgot the name of the guy that did that with Kristin Schall. It's another one of those laughter in waves kind of things. The longer they go on, the funnier it gets. And it's totally absurd.

[@kellyparkinson8594]

It is hilarious

[@human_kittenz]

It's so innocent

[@BrandMath-ns5yc]

Tig is on Conans podcast this week so they uploaded this

[@LycanLink]

This woman is such a delight that even when she's not speaking, she makes me smile and chuckle. :)

[@andrearegina3344]

After listening to the podcast I was hoping they uploaded the video. It's a risky comedy choice, but it turned out great. She's hillarious!

[@ArtDrawer]

Same here, heard the podcast today, came looking for the video, was not disappointed. I love Tig and her comedy, I legit could have laughed at 5 more minutes of stool movements. It’s hard to explain why this is funny to people who haven’t seen it without giving them a stool sample.

[@StallionFernando]

She's trash. Nothing she said was funny.

[@andrearegina3344]

@@StallionFernando You are absolutely right! Thank you so much, your response made me change my mind. I'll unlike the video. (!)

@@andrearegina3344 I wish they'd have told me sooner.. I've spent the past 8 years under the impression that she was funny when this whole time.. wow. Boy, do I feel foolish.. *laugh* *sighs*

[@BenManoochehri]

Conan 2021 just sent me here... to Conan 2011

[@JerryStevens]

When she first said she was going to push a stool I was a little alarmed at what might follow.

[@cestlina]

I just got deep and though to myself she's so whole-hearted I can't leave the page without clicking thums up.

[@hasitat1]

I'm glad you posted this! I heard you guys talking about the stool bit on the podcast and I wanted to see. Hilarious!

[@pineconey]

There's a certain Tim Conway-esqueness to the stool bit.

[@smosmilesmom]

her facial expression is part of that vibe. LOL LOVE her! and Tim Conway, RIP!

[@joelbates6499]

Yes! Conway had a way with just stringing along a joke - one of her traits that I enjoy!

[@glassroom135]

I just rewound the part where she stopped the applause like 20 times😂😂😂 perfect timing.

[@stuntmusicgameshow311]

She’s like a funny, calm, normal Tom Cruise

[@Poniella81]

[@komickaze85]

I saw Tig on a Comedy Central Presents in 2004 or 2005 and I loved her sense of humor. Always looked for her online to find more material and so glad I watched the Conan interview to find this gem. Funniest thing I've seen in awhile. Stool movement has never been so funny

[@jaycollins2036]

One of the best bits ive ever seen.

[@HansenSWE]

I love her character in Star Trek Discovery! One of the few good ones. It was the first time I saw Tig Notaro ever. Haven´t seen or heard of her before. I thought it was just the way her character was written, but I realize now they probably didn´t write a character at all, just dialogue. Tig just read the lines as herself.

"Maybe it's because you haven't heard it enough", is totally me when I'm being funny, and someone isn't feeling it. - Tig is amazing and one of my favorite comedians.

[@westcoastfire2061]

I mean, everyone has a different taste in comedy, you may find this style funny but others including myself dont. I make a ton of sarcastic jokes with friends but I know the one's who find it funny and the one's who don't care for it.

[@NextToToddliness]

@@westcoastfire2061 You literally just said everyone has diffent tastes in things. Thanks dude. I had not realized before this comment that my opinion my differ with some, and conversely, align with others. I'm so glad you were here to post that. Not everyone has to like things, but stating the obvious just to assert your opinion is fatuous and unnecessary. Some people don't like Tig?! You don't say.

[@westcoastfire2061]

@@NextToToddliness You said that you were "being funny" in your comment, pretty much implying that the person that didnt find you funny just doesnt understand humor in general so I figured you didnt understand the concept of personal taste. Glad I was able to help you out though buddy, I can see why that person didnt find you funny by the way.

[@painteater]

Conan laughing in the background
