The only thing referring to anime that I've seen on Conan's show is on the skit "Peter Bernard, Recliner of Rage".

I assume this will be another one of those. So I'll watch since they're usually hilarious like his Robotech rant.

His name is PIERRE Bernard.

And I f*cking love him. He's my kind of nerd. Except I suspect that he really doesn't know anything about anime...he did the same kind of skit on Late Night, and he was tripping over the name "Shinichiro Watanabe" in one of them. Laughing


I don't know, I've been an anime fan for quite some time but I can't say I know how to pronounce that with absolute certainty. I think I have it right, but I admit I don't know 100%.

I saw the skit and thought that was pretty good. I imagine some oversensitive fans might get upset about it because, you know, they do poke fun as late night talk shows tend to do, and I know some fans just have no sense of humor about such things. I thought it was great though.

That was quite fun. They didn't make anime seem as stupid as I thought they would, though that was a pretty boob-filled segment.


Instead, anime looks more like porn than ever. Anime hyper

Some veteran fan just had a paradigm shift and now thinks that it's 1995.

>_>

I believe asking that question is the anime equivalent to opening Pandora's box.

I missed it, I didn't know what channel it was showing on (I know it was NBC, but I don't know the channel for the area I live in)

Any one know when it will be up on Hulu?

Has Conan O'Brien Show ran out of ideas for their jokes? Or Anime has became mainstream all of sudden? I have a feeling that we're getting unwanted notice from mainstream thanks to 80's pop culture flashbacks.

I think it was just opportunity. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dang...I missed it! I wish I had known about this! I'm going to start watching Conan more often because he might do something awesome like this! I hope they post this to Hulu tomorrow, but worst-case scenario it will be up Monday!

I guess Conan wasn't happy with just inserting random cameos of Gundam toys and a hentai clip into his other show. Laughing


Oh, God... I remember the hentai clip moment. I kept thinking why the hell that was put in... then I remembered that it was the Late Show with Conan O'Brien.... Anime hyper

I'm a regular Tonight Show watcher (even more so since Conan took over) and will have to keep an eye out for the skit.. =D

It just aired in the west.

English dubs are disgusting to me,but I would love to have an Conan/Andy Dub track in Oshii's Ghost in the Shell.

That shit was hilarious.
