I love that the tribute album has a parental advisory. 😂

[@andrewkeller1117]

You don't want kids to imitate their act. They could fall down and slip on some nuts.

[@shaileshrana7165]

Just appreciate the effort they made by asking these musicians to record these parts whenever they performed on the show. Months in the making.

[@intheatremode]

Spared no expense 🤣

[@229BlackHat]

More effort than all of Sssniperwolf’s ‘reaction’ videos combined…

[@CommieGobeldygook]

No, I won't and you can't make me

[@Nightbringer2000]

Conan is the reason I had “insomnia” in high school. It’s not that I couldn’t sleep, it’s that I didn’t want to, I wanted to stay up for Conan.

[@travelchic908]

Same! I was exhausted every morning and my teacher told my mom he thought I was on drugs because I was so sleepy 🤣 I used to wake my dad up from laughing at 1am too and he would stumble down the hall half-asleep to tell me to be quiet. Conan caused so much drama with my family back in the day lol 🤣

[@Axolotl_Mischief]

Same

[@PhilippeCarphin]

Yup me too, my parents were separated and I spent one week with my Mom, one with my Dad. At my mom's I had a TV in my room so I could watch it as it aired patiently waiting for he whose name shall not be uttered to get done with his "show". My dad didn't let me stay up that late so I taped and watched it in the morning at breakfast with my dad and my brother. Probably a good thing that I only watched it at 12:30 one week out of two.

[@MrSlanderer]

Likewise. As a high schooler at the time, I was woefully lacking in sleep, due to my addiction to Late Night with Conan.

[@kev3d]

John Mayer totally got the joke.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Peak Conan. I loved this era where he settled in to his weirdness. The show was absolute must watch TV even though I had to be at my IRS job at 630am. Oh to be young.

[@benm628]

[@LazarusSlade]

That's $255.96 for a CD! What a steal for such a masterpiece!

[@Counter-Intuitive]

Worth every penny IMHO!

[@fan5407]

Nearly $2M less than the latest Wu-Tang album.

[@caseyboothe692]

Even with a subpar bit, the commitment to beat itself over the head as relentlessly as this one did can turn it into comedy gold

[@JeffPants]

The guy with the bandanna in Steve Winwood's band looks like he's having a HELL of a time.

[@ryanpyle9822]

They actually opened for slipknot and got booed like crazy. I hope they upload that clip

Slipping on nuts, while singing about slipping on nuts. Late night was on fire in this era, I miss it.

[@melvina628]

@@robeddy9381 I refer to them as patterns I see on KZbin. One pattern is that quote I used. People use that quote on practically every video they watch. Another pattern on YT is saying that someone in the video is "underrated" when they are not, as if the commenter has no idea what "underrated" actually means. Things like that.

[@gokinsmen]

They changed the lyrics from "AND slipped on some nuts" (00:31) to "I slipped on some nuts" (1:10).

[@intheatremode]

The evolution is mind-boggling, really. 😅

[@mazurbeem]

I legit wanna hear the full Patti Smith cover. I wish I had enough $ for all 3 album payments.

[@lucky07621]

Still one of my favorite segments. I worked with Jon Glaser on the first season of “Jon Glaser loves Gear” such a nice/funny dude

GEEEEEAAAAAARRRRRRRR

Still brilliant. Still shake my head all these years later that Coldplay didn't get the bit. Every artist enhanced the bit by performing in their style. Coldplay looked like they just wanted to get it out of the way.

[@bertfromseasamestreet]

Conan got the canon of the Slipnutz wrong. The second time, they had changed their name to They Might Be Slipnutz but coincidentally opened for They Might Be Giants. The third time, which Conan doesn't even mention, he got them a gig opening for Slipnot.

[@hopperthemarxist8533]

This is Conan at his most brilliant great writers absurdity for its own sake just so good it’s way too funny

[@amnic8611]

My 7 year old is running through the house singing this 😂

I burst out laughing when I read that! A child running around singing "We're the SlipNutz" is hilarious.

[@flipsolo]

Their album has a Parental Advisory label 😂

[@Thrifty032781]

My favorite part may have been charging $259.96 for a CD.

[@brundlefly262]

I'm so glad they went back to polyester. I mean, I get that they're very creative artists and they wanted to try something new and radical. But the cotton, it... it just wasn't them 😔 It was as if they had lost their way and forgot what it means to be a SlipNut 😪

[@Scribe13013]

Great band Ahead of their time Slipping on nutz

[@JammastaJ23]

Conan has just been an assembly line for great comedic talent. Glaser/Stack.

[@77777cesar]

“Look he fell down... and slipped on some nuts!”

[@senthilvelan544]

Is this what they were saying about reuploading old sketches and remotes? Loooveeee ittttttt.

[@philippinevlogsandgamingpl7671]

they were referring about the website teamconan.com finally uploading all of their remotes. check it out!

[@unclejemima83]

i would have loved to have been one of the writers going up to the different artists/bands and trying to explain this whole backstory of the slip nutz

[@joansmith69]

Listen to the "Inside Conan" podcast, they actually talk about this exact thing. Let's just say, many were asked. Neil Young, to name but one.

[@danielgraham1082]

John Smith which episode of the podcast

[@MarkReviews]

He got Jamm'd. Also...I heard about this on "Inside Conan"...glad they found the clips!

[@gromitpesley]

Mark Reviews Jamm’d?

[@gromitpesley]

Mark Reviews conan knew about it one of them are or were a writer for him and the other an actor

I honestly would buy this cd if it was available.

[@Daniel_Delayne]

[@poupdujour]

Talk about beating a dead horse. I love it.

[@SharpCinema]

I think Steve Winwood was my favourite as he really committed. I feel like Coldplay rushed the song a bit too much, not taking it seriously so they get points docked for that. My list is: 1. Steve Winwood 2. John Mayer 3. Patti Smith 4. Los Lobos 5. Coldplay

[@jedidrummerjake]

I base my life on the teachings of the Slip Nutz.

[@bradeng7158]

The Los lobos version is the best. Coldplay was being kinda douchy about it.

[@neighborhoodangel2078]

have sold all my worldly possessions to follow Slip Nutz on the road.....

[@cesarmadero05]

Funny that their act became cleaner and funnier the more they did it. I really see an improvement.

[@zachsmith7373]

I would buy that album and give it to my brother

[@gonzo26nix]

I still can't believe that Slipknot had these guys open for them at a concert..

Steve Jordan singing "Yeaaaah" is my favorite part

[@drumsNstuff79]

I know!

[@fan5407]

I'm genuinely surprised none of them ever actually wiped out.

[@painkillerauflauf5770]

[@RetroEternity]

The guy in the middle with the afro played a character on Parks & Recreation.

[@ExplosionChimp]

He played Jeremy Jamm. The guy on the right played a small role in Parks and recreation too.
