@@Nice_Fella 9/11 WTC attacks happened. As I recall, the show went on a hiatus for a week or two as well, because nobody felt like laughing for a while and the shows first few weeks after coming back were more serious and somber in tone.
As a They Might Be Giants fan I can attest to also enjoying the Slipnutz. They Might be Giants were liked by the type of people in high school who watched Conan. Slipknot on the other hand was liked by people who watched Pro Wrestling.
@@nicholasmoose6574 In the late 90s, I liked both Slipknot and They Might Be Giants, and I watched both Conan and wrestling. You think you can just put everybody into categories and they have to stay in them? You sound very small minded.
@@James-if3kc No, but I grew up in the 90's too and from my memory the only time pro-wrestling and TMBG mingled was that one episode of Tiny Toons with a wrestling match between 'Triangle Man' and "Universe Man." Sometimes people surprise you. The lead singer of Reel Big Fish likes Death Metal.
@@nicholasmoose6574 I used to go in a TMBG chatroom in the late 90s and what I found out then is that TMBG's fans are incredibly pretentious. Same goes for most fans of so-called "smart" bands. They think they're better than people who listen to metal or other types of music. I liked TMBG because they were weird and different. I didn't analyze their songs and write dissertations on their meanings and talk about how they're "commentaries on modern society" or things like that. I liked it because it was weird music. Are people allowed to do that? Are they allowed to like things on the surface level? According to pretentious music fans, they're not. They will mock and ridicule you for not understanding their favorite band. These are the same people who constantly bash the "bullies" who listen to metal, but they are even bigger bullies than them. I used to want to be a smart and pretentious person who listened to "smart" music and watched "deep, complex" shows until I realized it's all completely meaningless and that you should just watch and listen to what you want and what makes you happy. I have no use for those people anymore.
@@James-if3kc I liked TMBG because they wrote good songs. I like songs. this is why I've been identified as a punker. I"ve always liked punk rock because it didn't matter how good you were at guitar as long as you had good lyrics and a good melody. Discovering the Ramones was like a revelation when I was a kid because I sure as Hell couldn't write songs before that. Then with punk getting big again in the 90's you had bands who get even become huge with three or four chords and a great melody! It was beautiful! Now I'VE been in a band for years! But you wanna talk pretentious? let's talk about the time I played my Dead Milkmen CD in a classroom with guys who wore shirts of bands with indecipherable names written on them in calligraphy with pictures of demons eating babies or whatever. Yes, I know "Bitchin' Camaro ' might not have as good of a guitar track as something by King Diamond, but I Don't give a shit. I guarantee you I'll like "BItchin' Camaro" better.
Cary Groneveldt Slipknot is pretty fast and employs the double bass but not every song is like that. I would call them just nu Metal. But people that complain about someone getting a genre wrong on a talk show are classified as “speed annoying.”
To be fair, Poisongodmachine is the longest-running music journalist for Highlights magazine. Sure there’s puzzles and games, but have you read the articles?
The random appearance of Topher Grace is the cherry on top.
I can’t say this caused 9/11 but I can’t completely rule it out.
Things were never the same after Slipnut Jon developed a nut allergy.
I really believed they were air traffic controllers. Flawless performances.

20 some years later, I believe that as well. This song has been in my repoitare for 2 decades; but it took me as long to find it
Weird to think they were doing Air Traffic Controller comedy literal days before 911.
Topher Grace out of fucking nowhere
yeah, and going nuts none the less
He likes it a lot.
I remember watching this at my friend's house
Damn, the Friday before 9/11.
“Watch those shows next week. That’ll be good.”
Sad to know what happened just a few days later.
did they have a bad show?

@@perx3561 And then they went back to masturbating bears.
An innocent enough sketch, but oh that painful irony with the sketch theme.
OH GOD
mein gott
Out of all the things they could've done oh man that's just crazy
Sad to hear him announcing that list of upcoming guests, only for none of them to appear due to the attacks and the show being postponed for a week.
None of these guests are gonna be there. :'(
I think that sparkly new set didn't even last a week because of 9/11
This leads to youtubing They Might Be Giants on Conan
Legendary
They slipped on jet fuel.
I loved how they took this ridiculous 1-note gag and milked it for all it was worth and then some. Classic!
I love that Glazer called Slipknot “Slipnut” accidentally. 😂
2:13 "Heeeeuu no of course nut " ^^
i forgot brian stack is in here.. lol
coNAN and thee slipnutzzz are legend. prove me wrong.
Loved this lol
This is much more my style of music than Slipknot
It’s kind of insane that their “sketch” was about air traffic controllers on the last show before 9/11
Conan just got Jammed.
They Might Be Giants fans are more likely to enjoy Slipnutz than the other cool band.

Came to the comments to see if anyone found it funny that Max Weinberg’s son went on to play with Slipknot
4 days before 9/11
They tried to warn us, and we just laughed at them...
@D J It was The Slipnuts all along.. they were clowning around and whoops the Towers fell down
@@sgthugostigiitz5935 They slipped on some nuts.
Then after 9/11, they slipped on some guts.
Kinda weird, hearing Slipknot described as "speed metal."
Predictive programming?
Huh?
Then a few days later...
"The towers fell down, I slipped on some guts."
Calling Slipknot "speed metal"... a clear indication of not knowing what "speed metal" is.
poisongodmachine3 knowing that someone will inevitably whine about a genre of music is an indication of how boring music fans are.

I bet you were in the front row booing at the Slipnutz when they actually opened for Slipknot.

Wow. Look over Conan's right shoulder.
