In the mental calculation world, there have been a few savants who were also highly respected and accomplished in other areas, such as Alexander Aitken and George Bidder. But generally, a savant is an extremely single-minded and simple person who can only focus on developing one ability. If you spent your whole life focusing on mental calculations, and nothing else, you'd be very good at them.
It’s fun to see the thread between members of the upright citizen’s brigade, like Amy Poehler, Andy Daley, Matt Walsh and this liar guy and how they always tend to guest on the same things as well as each other’s shows (all these people were recurring guests on Parks and Rec except for Daley). Also, Conan hire Tina Fey’s future husband to do bits like this as well. Conan was a mensch to the NYC improv community.
That's the guy from The Office episode "Company Picnic". They informally announce the Buffalo branch is being shut doing and he yells out, "You gotta be kidding me! We're the best branch in the company"
Idiot Savant: An individual who exclusively focuses on the mastery of one aspect of performance (e.g. doing math, playing the piano), to the exclusion of all other skills, both technical and interpersonal. Known in less severe cases as nerd savants. Idiot Savants are to be distinguished from those folks who focus on all aspects of performance and are masters of none, but think they are savants one way or another. They are known as 'that bunch of idiots' or more formally as religious fundamentalists or Republicans. from Dr. Mezmer’s Dictionary of Bad Psychology, at doctormezmer.com
@@jeffw1267 I trace it back to 2008. O'Brien, Letterman, Stewart, SNL, Maher, Colbert et al were all unwilling to satirize or joke about Barack Obama, after spending decades making Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Quayle, Bush Sr./Jr., Clinton, Gingrich, Delay, Gore, Dole, Kerry, Palin etc. the butt of their jokes. Obama was not to be made fun of under any circumstances. When Trump was elected, the "comedy" of Colbert, Kimmel, Maher, Samantha Bee, SNL and ilk simply became mean spirited, unfunny partisan political hackery. Biden also has been largely "off limits" to the ridicule foisted upon pols like Reagan, Bush and Trump. All those shows suck.
Brian Stacks is one of conan's longest running sketch artist and a real gem of the show.
"Was".
Unfortunately...
@@davidb6576 yeah, now he's doing sketches on Colbert's Late Show
Absolutely! So many great characters, but I think my all time favorite has to be Clive Clemmons’s Inappropriate Response Channel.
@@ironhead108 he has so many good ones, I love the traveling salesman
Nooooo really?
"We have a Great Show tonight!"
"LIAR!"
Fantastic sketch. The closeup on his face brilliant!
😅😅😅
Liar!
I love you Conan Fanatic, in a platonic way of course
Liar!
Gay!
👐
@@ConanFanatic hahahahaha
NO HOMO!!
Well, that is the way Plato 'loved'.
Stack's bits were so original and well-written. Perfect synergy with Conan's style of humour.
The epic staredowns between Conan and Max were hilarious lol

Where was that guy when NBC promised Conan the tonight show and jay leno said he would step aside?
I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment. *polygraph explodes
They should make a movie series based on that character.
@The Guy Oh, you're THAT Guy! ;-)
No, it's too offensive
@@errorbanana5063 To whom?
@@KingoftheJuice18 To the parents of Savant kids and to everyone else who wants to be offended
@@errorbanana5063 I think the only really offensive thing is still using the outdated term *idiot* savant.
Thank you for putting this on. Keep up the great work guys
This leads me to believe that Conan wrote the "Moe Lie Detector" bit from The Simpsons. It's pretty much the exact same premise.
It was after he left
Conan wasn't a writer on his own show. He was just the host.
This was comedic self deprecating genius.
This show is brilliant
LIAR LIAR LIAR
What a funny sketch.
Edit: I've waited 3 years for someone to reply, "Liar!" to no avail.
LIAR!!!
@@rhombusplowers7214 The year is off to a great start thanks to your wonderful comment!
@@braddockakalatis2 LIAR!!!
Genius. Pure genius.
the best bit ever was
"the year two-thousand"
Brian Stack FTW
I noticed that the pan to Max was staged a bit differently, I noticed he looked different. But of course it was part of a bit. lol
I love this, but this is very close to the simpsons scene where Moe takes a lie detector test.
SIMPSON'S DID IT. Moe on lie detector.
Can we pleeee-ease get him into the White House press corps?
His vocal cords would give out after a minute...
LIAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!
Omg that's hilarious 😂
I never thought 'savant' and 'moron' would be used in one sentence to refer to the same person.
Edit: *'Idiot'
That's weird since that's been the term until recently.
Savants are typically very skilled at one specific thing, but are fairly helpless and dependent in much of the rest of their lives.

Conan is the best
A human version of the old lie detector test schtick

This is like Moe on the lie detector machine on the 'Who Shot Mr. Burns Part 2' episode.
Loved this show!!!!
Omg thanks youtube 🤣
acting lvl -10
I used this tactic on my golf buddies....

Isn't he Larry, the guy that glues mugs and sharpens pencils?
''LIAR!''
*DURRRRR!*
[500 XP]
Isn't the Presidential candidate Gregory Whytman? =]
Hahaha this is my first time seeing this! Awesome skit! Can't believe that dude left and went to Stephen Colbert's lame show!
Conan's not funny anymore either.

The servant was actor Stephen colbert.
I turned 16 when this happened
The sister looks like Frances McDormand
I think that may be Brian's actual wife?
That was bazar.
I guess this generation of writers just don't have it.
Conan was right about Max.
if he is alive, ask him to chat with trump lol
😂
"Okay, here's something true... I'm gonna come over there and smack your brother around some if he doesn't apologize!"
Liar!
Did Max end up having Conan's baby?
This is genius. Too bad the audience didn't really get it
I'm sorry if this was offensive, but it was also genius
I know it’s not her, but the lady looks like Colleen Ballinger
Funny!
Once they finished rapping the show Conan inseminated Max.
how old is this dude?
Could have used him at the Amber Heard trial😁
Yeah! Any Idiot could tell that B%tch was Lying her Ass off!👍
We didn't need this guy to know that amber heard was lying lolol we were all screaming out "LIAR" lol
We need this guy at every Biden speech.
Well who's going to fill in for Trump's speeches?
introduce him to Trump
재미있어요
