Conan O'Brien's Absolute Best Sketches

Conan

The iconic talk show host is even funnier in the street than behind the desk.

Everyone knows Conan O'Brien as the poofy haired late night host behind the desk on TBS. However, what you may not know is there's an entire subculture of Conan fans who live for his sketches, particularly with his staff.


Conan Visits the American Girl Store

Never has one man been so out of place. Visiting a store entirely dedicated to ten year old girls, Conan completely eviscerates the entire concept of the American Girl Doll in the most hilarious way possible. From making his doll an illegal immigrant from Germany named Agnes, to chugging an entire bottle of wine during lunch, to questioning if the doll's bowl of popcorn is vicodin, this sketch makes me audibly laugh every time I watch it.

Conan Catches Jordan Schlansky Coming In Late - CONAN on TBS

There are so many amazing Jordan sketches to choose from, and I had to go with the first one. This is the first of many sketches involving Conan's nonhuman producer Jordan Schlansky. An awkward, robotic man, Conan drills him constantly on misbehavior, ethical questions, and his personal grooming habits. This is the first of many Jordan sketches on the show. They have a professional organizer clear out his office, Conan throws him a bachelor party, they have him review products he likes, such as Preparation H and Darth Vader helmets, and way, way more.

Conan Gives Staff Performance Reviews

Conan interacting with his staff is beyond incredible. In this video, his satirical sense of arrogance and his inappropriate questions ("In no way do I want you to feel nervous about this, this is just to decide whether or not you should be fired") make this entire bit. Him forcing his employees to carry a life sized ragdoll of him out of the building as fire safety training is a nice touch too.

Conan Busts His Employees Eating Cake

Conan discovers a secret email chain going around the office that alerts others to free food before anyone else has access, and goes on a crusade not to end unfair access to free food, but to get himself on the email list.

Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, And Conan Share A Lyft Car

The chemistry these three have is hysterical. Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, and Conan share a Lyft together. I don't need to explain this one, it has 71 million views.

Conan Hunts Down His Assistant's Stolen "Gigolos" Mug

Conan's assistant Sona has actually become a celebrity in her own right as a result of these videos, riding on the Armenian float at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Conan has many sketches with his quirky, lazy assistant, my favorite being this one, where Conan hunts down her mug from the show Gigolos that's been stolen.

Conan Delivers Chinese Food in NYC

Conan shot for NYC for a week in 2011, and while there, filmed a sketch where he was a Chinese food delivery man. He was 30 minutes late, stopped to talk with an Argentinian woman he met outside her window, got completely lost, went to the wrong apartment building, and ate the food on the street.

Conan Visits Taco Bell 

Chris Hayes, Conan's head of IT, is a Taco Bell fanatic, and Conan took him to Taco Bell headquarters, where he pitched a cabbage and corned beef based burrito called the "o'taco".

Clueless Gamer: "God Of War" 

Bill Hader appeared alongside Conan to review the Playstation classic God of War. I'm not even sure how to summarize it, but it's hysterical, just trust me.

Conan Hangs Out With His Interns

Conan gets to know his interns, whom he names "Pencil Guy" and "Glasses Woman" and finds out they think he wears a wig, and is only their third favorite talk show host.
