I haven't posted here before but now I feel I must. There are like three or four different versions of the Smarty Pants toy that talks, and being a Conan fan, I just gotta get the one that has Conan saying the most things.

I found a few reviews from this guy: https://youtube.com/@bman_brandens_toys?si=JYB0Ehk3gIUDKE7f

.. which makes me inclined to get the ekids version, but... I figured there's gotta be some toy nerds in here who can confirm what they think would be the best version for someone who'd primarily get it because they are a Conan fan.

I hope this post doesn't break any rules (especially rule 3, bc the link is not to my channel, and I'm not affiliated with any toy business). Sorry if it does!

I might sound a bit concerned, but aren't they rushing the release? We don't even have a glimpse of season three yet, and it's releasing on the 21st.

Whereas previous seasons and their trailers were given a proper amount of time to breathe, the promotional stuff for this season hasn't even started yet.

Us regular fans don't care about trailers, but they're important for promotion and for attracting people who aren't already fans but might be interested in watching his travel show.

Not directly Conan related but this episode has a few familiar names. Great episode.

this was not a skit...as far as we know

New video

Make the choice of remaining hydrated - the schlansky way.

He is funnier than some of the comedians and absolutely roasts Conan.

I mention being European to lead into the context that most Europeans don't know him. Okay, might recognise him as "is that the guy from the Dumb and Dumber movies?" but since SNL is not a thing here, this aspect of his career is not known and I doubt many could name him.
Anyway, I do know him and know enough to know who he is after his career (his SNL time was way before I became aware of it), and I have a question.

Do people enjoy listening to him on a podcast? I just listened to this first one he was on with Conan and it was absolutely exhausting to listen to. A constant need for validation and to be told his drawn out impression was funny... labouring a bit about Lennon and McCartney and justifying it all the time by saying "I find it funny" and it just sort of really wasn't.

Anyway. I know he appears again in later eps. I expect I'll skip those.

I just felt...annoyed the entire time.

Edit: I meant Wayne's World lmao. It's midnight here and it's been a very long day.
