[@Eduardinca]

I really dont know why people hate on TJ so much, i mean everyone has a different personality with different traits.His humor is not for everybody but that doesnt mean is unfunny, so please just stop..

[@alikamalharb6624]

i think he is awesome and super funny

[@crystaliss]

I love his oddness! If everyone's humor was the same, the world would be so boring.

[@JohnnyRoseofVersailles]

dinca eduard i love him!

[@leo-rq2ei]

hes so funny

[@EuphoricDream88]

dinca eduard like the judas priest pic

[@StealthyLiving]

My wife is a real battle axe.

[@StanleyCornfield]

Crangis McBasketball Okay, Norm!

[@workinghoustonian]

HEYOOOO!!!

[@sha12310]

ya dirty dog

[@nickframpton2557]

Sal?

[@StealthyLiving]

Cling Clang

[@chrismaldonado8515]

I am so melancholic because I just can watch this little clips and not the entire show, this is not aired in my country ...hate you TBS, Love you Team Conan

[@iambored180499]

chris maldonado make an American Apple ID and download the team coco app then you can watch full episodes! Doesn't air in my country either :(

[@chrismaldonado8515]

I got a Samsung phone when I try to downloaded the app it says that it wasn't available in my country either TBS app! ..... I must change my cable TV

[@iambored180499]

chris maldonado ah maybe try making an American google play account? Not sure if that's possible but worth a try

[@chrismaldonado8515]

iambored well, I'll try...

[@ArsPK23]

chris maldon

[@thesecondislander]

I don't know what you guys have against TJ, i thought this was pretty funny! It's not like Conan is a stranger to weird comedy.

[@DexiPawnz]

Maybe it's just that TJ hijacked a show to try out a new stand up bit, lmao

[@charliedavis8447]

exactly, Conan isn't a stranger to weird comedy so his patience throughout this routine was admirable. TJ is in some funny stuff but Jesus Christ this routine was horrible! He is trying so hard to be funny at every turn and leaves you waiting for some punchline that just never comes... It's like he tries to be funny by dragging the story out which makes it even more unbearable. I don't hate TJ but I do think he's a bit of a try-hardy/hacky comedian

[@wickerfilms30]

I absolutely disagree with you.

[@Snadaaahhh]

Cant speak for anyone else,but i think he tries to hard

[@Tridentus]

It was OK, but he took up like a huge segment. If you're going to take that much time you have to absolutely kill.

[@ASunnyDisposition]

"You're such an idiot!" - Conan LOL

[@benben644]

I was expecting the axe to be bigger

[@youssefamr4706]

That's what she said

[@jeremyc9593]

Exactly. More like a battle hatchet.

[@vd5882]

He only spent $100 on it. You want a bigger axe you spend bigger money.

[@travis8106]

The comments just get weirder on TJ videos

[@WastedGTAZ]

Yeah seriously...

[@JohnnyRoseofVersailles]

TJ sure knows how to tell a story!

[@mojoesodope21]

“Kudos to the Minnesota police department” is a quote that did not age well

[@quent7561]

LMAOOO

[@jeremyh9841]

Even Conan can be tired of Miller's joke. So he puts the *** Fallon's mode *** on.

[@britneyisallyouneedtoknow2406]

Getzel Gallagher what does Fallon mode mean?

[@Sp4rkySp4rkyb00m4n]

Getzel Gallagher soooooo someone can't genuinely think that a comedian is funny and laugh at his jokes? Have an original thought sometimes bud.

[@jeremyh9841]

lol its about Jimmy Fallon forced laugh.

[@jollyleprechaun5436]

Have an original thought? Isn't that kind of a contradiction if someone else already thought of it?

[@S2h2art]

Hey Nicolas Cage, with a ponytail, Conan Never Laughs over the guest, while the guest is talking...

[@3rdClassFilms]

6:00 Andy is creating a Battle Axe Swing xD

[@thatguyconner1760]

This could have easily led to an alternate ending of "Joker" and I'm honestly terrified watching it with that in mind.

[@DarthRevanDistantCousin]

"Ah now you redeemed yourself " God Conan is so funny

[@ohiasdxfcghbljokasdjhnfvaw4ehr]

this was a super funny interview, and I'm so glad it's not cut into 4 videos

[@grrrrroch]

Oh I just love this man's over the top slacker attitude and I knew he would be comfortable in Conan's show, as Conan is a super smart guy who gets and embraces this kind of humor.

[@apoxapex]

Jesus Christ I wasn't expecting him to admit to him bombing and at 6:00 he sure enough does

[@DickePerserkatze]

I couldn quite understand what he said there. Could you explaint it please?^^

[@TheFabioOrchedella]

he said to leave it in cuz he likes it when he bombs (as in the joke fails)

[@apoxapex]

Darius I "your caught with a lance in lancing Michigan, that's ironic!" *pity laughter* This whole thing is really sad too watch haha

[@DickePerserkatze]

apoxapex Oh ok thanks^^ I couldnt quite catch the second part after the laughter :D

[@apoxapex]

Darius I yeah I guess I could've put the time back, just thought people would figure it out themselves

[@MrJH101]

I saw his wife in one of his interviews and now I'm looking at him shirtless. I can see why that cop would be confused that they were actually together.

[@MucciciBandz]

6:50 is why we are protesting, this guy was ahead of his time HAHA

[@SCUMMY4205]

It was in Minnesota too, small world

[@TBoneBoomBoom]

TJ Miller...one of the funniest people out there...yet so underappreciated...

[@leo-n8er73]

4:15 - at that moment, the whole crowd realized, they fucked up.

[@depressionbeard9882]

TJ Miller should come on the show more often. This is the first time teamcoco has uploaded an 8 minute interview clip from the show and I like it a lot.

[@dilrajshergill9323]

I love this guy. You can't hate this guy

[@lukesterino]

how about now?

[@ArunaUtd]

You really can

[@godlygamer911]

I mean... unless he sexually assaults you.

[@GangStalker17]

this comment aged like milk

[@alec6583]

Unless you work with this guy, support Donald Trump around this guy, drive an Uber for this guy, don't like being sexually assaulted by this guy or have seen how fuckily people are treated by this guy, you can't hate him! He's funny, but come on. He assaulted an Uber Driver for voting for Trump. He was fired for being shitfaced every time he was at work on Silicon Valley. "Can't hate him"?

[@gabiluch87]

2:08 Conan just lost it hahahahaha totally genuine reaction

[@Normally_aspirated]

Under appreciated comedian

[@PatrickNeal323]

Definitely. His role in silicon Valley is gold

[@tylerjaynes822]

That's a shitty Battleaxe for $100

[@chrisbungo695]

Tyler Jaynes if you know that you need to go outside and make some friends

[@themoon-iy1kg]

Tyler Jaynes it's a bit like chill

[@tylerjaynes822]

hugh mungus I'm very aware it's a bit.

[@tylerjaynes822]

Chris Stevers What are you talking about, it's a little stick with some tiny metal blades loosely placed on top. It looks cheap

[@TheFabioOrchedella]

but...good price

[@kledhs2890]

CONAN & CRAIG FERGUSON > ALL OTHER HOSTS

[@S2h2art]

Come'on you forgot Colbert!!! i take my like back.....

[@kledhs2890]

Sci Yeah he is also really good

[@S2h2art]

Kerry H. Wine OMg also Jon Stewart... my bad

[@kledhs2890]

Sci Wow I forgot quite a lot, okay but I like Jon better than Colbert

[@bejarny8636]

Ancalagon nah craigs better

[@fishoutofwater6388]

I think the battle axe was more symbolic in nature for this story. 'swing and a miss......'

[@DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc]

Yeah, and the shop was called "Asian Treasures"! 😄

[@10Nicv]

6:02 - the spirit of Hannibal Buress found it's way to Conan

[@StudioMod]

Nicolas Vlavianos as underrated as it gets, this comment lol

[@treetrain]

freakin love you man. legendary. one of a kind in the comedy world. your edison set is my all time favorite. all the best

[@realtywithseankemp9704]

Steven Daniels seriously?

[@treetrain]

AMG or BUST I know it's tough to understand that people have different tastes, and perhaps if you saw the same amount of TJ Miller set and improv work as I have, maybe you'd feel that way. but for now, you don't agree, and I'm cool with that. To each their own. Have a blessed day :)

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

Is he wearing a hulk submariner? Damn that deadpool money boy!

[@peterh4ck]

4:10 conan's little "o god" pretty much summed this whole interview up

[@MobioDEN]

I used to think that he was horrible, annoying and painfully unfunny. He reminded me of all of the worst jerks I've met in my life (and judging by the comments, I'm not the only one). But then I watched a lot of Silicon Valley, and his more obviously exaggerated Bachmann character sort of eased me into his own rough, awkward and "douchy" comedy. He still reminds me of the worst people I know. But now I really enjoy the way he aims relentlessly for "too much" in every situation. Too arrogant. Too ridiculous. Too stupid. Too talkative. I can easily understand, why other people don't find him funny. But seriously, if you choose to hate him for it, you are almost as ridiculous as he is ...or pretends to be.

[@jonnil1997]

MobioDEN thank you for understanding his comedy, a lot of people is missing why this is funny.

[@MobioDEN]

Don't thank me, thank my brain. What I am trying to say, is, I don't think we have a lot to say, when it comes to what amuses us. But I'm happy to hear, that I'm not the only one.

[@ssantiago5231]

T J Miller got a good sence of humor

[@Link122]

Impressive grammar.

[@CapnxChar]

His sense of humor is as great as your grammar

[@HardyJap]

of course, spelling mistakes are grammatical mistakes

[@Link122]

Japjit Singh N. and coincidentally often the real source of comedy on youtube! This one wasn't hilarious though

[@h3llbouy]

If only you had a great sense of grammar!

[@TomDeLaCruz]

THOSE GOLDEN SHOES AND BATTLE AXE, THIS GUY HAS STYLE

[@WastedGTAZ]

Wow god of war 5 looks really good but idk why they removed Kratos’ tattoos

[@luchezarin]

I don't know what's funnier Conans laugh or TJs moves

[@sovietNIKOLAI1911]

I strive to be everything that this man is.

[@CapnxChar]

That's a pretty low bar you got there unless you're referring to Conan.

[@sovietNIKOLAI1911]

CapnxChar I kinda hit rock bottom last week so.......

[@funguy8801]

Ugly, overweight and unfunny. Pretty achievable life goals there.

[@sovietNIKOLAI1911]

Fun Guy 2 outa 3!! Just need to gain some weight.

[@funguy8801]

brooklynSYCO Sitting on arsehole all day seems to help. Aim for the sky feller! #DreamsCanComeTrue

[@aionescu19]

TJ is great!

[@dexy122]

If you think this is cringy and not funny, you're not familiar with TJs humor. Let's just say he has a really, really specific type of humor.

[@firestonegraywolf]

dexy122 yeah.... it's called NON EXISTENT! 😒

[@dexy122]

I'm not saying he didn't bomb here but the guy can be pretty funny, great actor too.

[@ChukObiechefu]

I swear this dude does about two lines of coke before every interview he's done on Conan. He was surprisingly subdued on Late Night with Stephen Colbert. Still seemed high out of his mind, but subdued.

[@snraijuu]

I love the battleaxe spinning at 6:02 XD

[@KingzEric]

Norm MacDonald is married to a battle axe.

[@vamanosninja4143]

The funniest part was that the cop knew his medieval weaponry.

[@cksdad674]

I've NEVER watched an interview twice in a row. I'M ON MY 4TH TIME!!! It's so FUNNY

[@djdannyd816]

Conan And TJ Miller Always 😂

[@jsmpsnn]

this the type of dude to call in a bomb threat

[@SPNchick]

TJ Miller best story teller ever!!!

[@kamaljohnson2200]

He looks so pleased at 4:45

[@maxwright9733]

I'm more enamored by his gold shoes than the battle axe.

[@pumpmykicksbitch1]

I find TJ pretty funny most of the time, but this was a bomb. Really coughed the cookie on this appearance.

[@Original50]

'Asian Treasures'? Very popular VHS back in the 80's... 😎

[@lawryaus]

When he said he wanted to buy a battle axe, my mind went straight to a battle axe block of land. The weapon is much more interesting.

[@llcc77]

1:10 This jackass almost cut Conan or cut his eye out with his swing, and Conan was shocked for the next few moment.

[@gibby9932]

There's also a Bad Axe, MI...could have taken it there.

[@katelynlarese9435]

Matthew Gibson Don't forget to stop by Hell on your way.

[@gibby9932]

Katelyn Larese been there, nice place.

[@Off3er]

Why the hell is the crowd so fukking dry??? This dude is hilarious!! 🤣🤣

[@Greenleaf_]

I hope you continue to upload long clips like this.

[@UserDude]

This went from a 0 to 100 to 20000 real fast... 😂

[@pwatson7]

I was hoping for a Jordan Schlansky skit during Halloween.

[@Gezquester]

"You know, it's a battle axe"

[@Smiley-Coyote]

New drinking game: take a shot every time he says Battle Axe. Few shall survive.

[@KingExodusYAY]

I am Minnesota, And we all have battle Axes!! Tis love.. Tis Life!!!!

[@mulimotola44]

proves the brilliancy of silicone valley is in the writing, not the actors

[@StermaPerma]

Pineapple29 What actor? I just saw erlich in this.

[@jeremyh9841]

lol

[@JalepenoHunter]

To be fair the crowds reaction on these things has a lot to do with how we gauge how the audiences do. This crowd didn't laugh, so we think that he bombed

[@apoxapex]

JalepenoHunter the story was lame

[@DavidSmith-pg1ob]

It's silicon valley, silicone valley is where the playboy bunnies are.

[@Bdpeezy98]

Hey I live in Lansing, Michigan. How convenient

[@rockingdude82]

Lansing represent! Rally the Lances!

[@pokefalls6185]

omg when he took his shirt off ♡◇♡

[@tbrwy]

TJ miller lmao this mans underrated

[@froehlic004]

I don't mind TJ, but I do respect everyone else's opinion. Though I will say, his standup bit that he did on Conan in 2010 was pretty funny. Definitely worth a quick watch.

[@Link122]

"Caught with a lance in Lancing, Michigan". Haha. Actually funny, unlike most american comedians.

[@isgravybaby]

cohletrain a Lance in Lansing, which is why it was funny.

[@Link122]

Yeah, kind of missed the very essence of the joke with my crapalicious comment :D isgravybaby

[@snc0023]

...in Lansing

[@Link122]

Carla Nicole Yeah, that was pretty idiotic of me!

[@snc0023]

lol for some reason the other comments didn't show up when i first read this. guess i'm the idiot 😂 cohletrain

[@xzaynex]

I thought he was going to make a juggalo joke when he said "whoop whoop".

[@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

If Norm was here he'd have a story to share about battleaxes.

[@TheRevolucas]

Norm's battleaxe joke was funnier.

[@The.Lone.Wolf.]

Alundaio hell yeah!!

[@bernlin2000]

Wow...he both committed to the bit artfully and also should be committed XD

[@davidem759]

i'm wondering why he was sweating that much...the only answer that come up is: cocaine or...dunno...cocaine xD

[@Hairspraygoblin]

Or you know; being slightly overweight and under pretty hot stagelights?

[@vai82]

Davide Manfro he's just fat.

[@emercycrite]

Overactive glands.

[@funguy8801]

He's just "big-boned"

[@DaddyDumptruckDeluxe]

Davide Manfro I do cocaine all the time, don't sweat like that. he's just an energetic out-of-shape dude.

[@beastiebear7231]

It would of been funny at the end if he said: 'so this is my battle axe bit so that I can keep it.'

[@JLAAMVG]

this is the funniest thing i've seen in my entire life !!!!

[@sugarman924]

I love how he said to keep in his bomb

[@ClapHurts]

Conan Travel sets looks so much better then his home set.

[@top1percent424]

He's such a fun person to spend your day with. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jro603]

Erlic Bachmann, is your refridgerator running? This is Mike Hunt

[@victorbarone47]

“Kuddos to the Minnesota Police Department” That did NOT age well in 2020

[@shredtildeath777]

and I was thinking wow that would be the weirdest hostage situation ever XD I'M DYING

[@deanthomas2255]

Huge fan of the Lansing, Michigan shout out

[@reddalchemy5970]

I so love this dude! T.J. is so funny.

[@emantabrizi]

Best interview ever.

[@FaRtBoMb42]

Would've been hilarious if pulled out a fake battle axe, swung it around, then "accidentally" tossed it into the crowd and THEN proceed to tell his story with the real battle axe. But this was hilarious too.

[@ARC117Studios]

TJ is such a cool, and laid back person!!! He's so damn cool!!! And why couldn't he be near my area that day? :( I'm a Minnesota resident, and I missed TJ Miller?!

[@congakaj]

I laughed at the lance joke Tj.

[@goodnotgreatt]

He looks like a fatter version of Napoleon Dynamite on speed.

[@ATaskProductions]

I have never seen this guy before but now he is my new God

[@shas9248]

This was all over the place I love it

[@MikeCustalow]

I can't believe that TJ didn't make the comment that he gave the battle axe to his "battle axe"

[@kimoyofficial]

That chain is poisoned!

[@Kayfranz2020]

I feel like Conan didn’t let the joke rest ....

[@dabidoe]

I've walked by that store so many times haha

[@laurenfulgham4121]

Teewee looks just like a unit from TABS right about here 2:06

[@michellelee8892]

what a glorious storyteller

[@wackywankavator]

It's nice to know MadTV didn't completely kill his career.

[@xavierluna9287]

That story was longer than war & peace.

[@anabanana62787]

You can tell Conan is suffering inside. Even Andy😫

[@thebandwagoneffect]

If anyones in MN wanting to visit the store its The Vaase

[@TheDrakelicious]

Love Connan, love TJ, love Andy....period!

[@blackice7317]

TJ is my spirit animal
