These People are not actors - they are actual people waiting to see a movie.

Saw this earlier...by far, one of the funniest Conan bits I've ever seen. Triumph is such a bastard. I highly recommend everyone take the time to download this. It is definitely worth it.

I remember a line like that from a Family Guy episode. I assume it didn't start there. Care to enlighten me on the source? Slow day at the office and all...

That clip is extremely funny. I do raise my eyebrows at a 17MB file as an FPP, but whatever. "Now, the most sacred part of the marriage ceremony: the hitting of the plastic toys."

Cyrano: Triumph is a pooch handpuppet whose schtick is insulting people in man-in-the-street interviews. His catchphrase "for me to poop on" works sorta the way NOT used to: "This is a great place... (NOT!) (for me to poop on!)"

Go to Ifilm and do a search on Triumph. They have 2 shorts. The Bon Jovi is highly recommended.

I've never been to one of those MeFi parties. Is it anything like this? Do people act out scenes from old threads?

I wasn't able to view this at work, but I did see the Bon Jovi segment at Ifilm and I just about laughed 'til I pooped. btw, Bon Jovi deserve praise for being such great sports about it. Can't imagine many other rock bands putting up with something like that.

I still prefer Slim Organbody with Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa from about 8 years ago or so, but that's just me. Anybody remember when Pets.com tried to sue Robert Smeigel (creator of Triumph and the TV Funhouse cartoons on SNL), saying that Triumph was a rip-off of their sock puppet? The stench of desperation was heavy in the air. I do have to admit, it was a novel way to try to raise funds...

Which one of these buttons calls your parents to come pick you up??

For those interested, Something Awful had a bizarre/semi-pathetic phone conversation with the guy who calls himself "Dragon Master" in the Conan clip. By the way, his site is here. (The google cache, to avoid immediately flooding him to death.)

Um, it's considered polite to point out that you're linking to something streaming or Very, Very Large.

OMG that was funny. I loved the "Seriously, have you ever talked to a woman without giving her a credit card number first?" Bwhahahahaha.

His bit on Hollywood Squares -- what stoned producer booked him for that one? -- was almost as good: Triumph (to Kathy Lee Gifford): Hey, Kathy Lee? You know what me and Regis both have in common? Kathy Lee, with a painfully applied smile that speaks volumes: No, Triumph... Triumph: Last year, we both got rid of our bitches. Gold, pure gold...

Triumph is pretty much a direct rip-off of 'Ed the Sock Puppet' from some forgotten Canadian show way back when, I reckon. But he is about 17 million times funnier (no really, I counted). All hail the sock puppet! (For me to poop on.)

Ed the Sock is pretty good, but this guy is just amazing in comparison. Wow. How did he get away with that Hollywood Squares bit?? Oy.

i thought hollywood squares was scripted? oh well... this was VERY hilarious.. there were very few insults i didn't laugh at, however mean they were.

i found myself trying to remember what the hell han solo was frozen in, so it was hilarious when he said "no, the correct answer is 'who gives a shit?'" great clip, and i noticed that the fans took it all in good humor. i think it's fantastic that people dressed up like that. hey, they may be nerds but they're a hell of a lot more interesting than a bunch of brokers at happy hour. well, at least for the first 5 minutes ;-)
