@@jacobseal I just watched it. Never seen that character before. Lol. I may start saying controversial buzz words into a half drank glass of scotch. Lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that these all use the same basic script makes them progressively funnier as you watch them all back to back. Big ups to whoever put these together.
Brian did VO work for an old client of mine. He was so talented, witty, and easy to work with. He was also a copywriter for a while in the 90s in Chicago. Such a mensch.
I swear, every single one of his lines is so funny I would like to learn it by heart and use it everyday, and at the same time so quick you could easily miss it (and the audience does, half the time). What a GREAT late night sketch
This kind of depresses me because my brain isn't quick enough to fire stuff off like this. You can tell Brian has a sky high IQ by watching this. I haven't checked but I bet money he's Ivy League
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 He definitely is smart. People would probably stutter just within the first few sentences. He has like a 99% accuracy rate, of all the sketches only 2 small little hiccups. You need decent brainpower to remember and recite while playing a character like this.
There is no other show on TV that would ever put a sketch like this on air, and not just once, but make it a recurring bit over and over. It's that completely unique comic sensibility that make Conan such a legend.
The only other host who’s gotten close to Conan’s quality is Craig Ferguson. He had that same relaxed confidence and unserious tone that permeates all Late Night Conan.
It's funny because Brian Stack also did a recurring bit as the singing Crooner ghost and it was basically the same scenario where Conan is shocked by his sudden appearance, Stack persistently offers something, and Conan is disgusted by it. Instead of selling crappy things, the ghost kept singing songs with offensive lyrics. 😂
@@assmane999 He's a WRITER that worked on Conan's show, you silly gibbons. He doesn't need to remember sh*t. He writes that sort of stuff for a living.
This is one of the best recurring sketches ever. The writing is so dense and so good, it's almost too much. Perfect for comedy. Brian Stack is so good.
20:36 “Boy, that Fantastic Four movie sure is highly anticipated! If it any more buzz it’d be a bus, or a bee, or a hornet or something else that buzzes, maybe an old TV or that astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Was Buzz his real name or just a nickname? Who cares that whole moon landing was fake anyway. Cash or credit?”
Despite all the great jokes in here, for some reason the thing that cracks me up the most is when he describes joke companies like clothing companies ("maybe you'd prefer some lowbrow fare from our pedestrian Fairmount line!").
I love how it’s the same bit with the same beats over and over and over again with slightly different wording, even with Conan having the same reaction of not knowing at first if the guy is a traveling salesman. I can’t think of any other bits in which Conan doesn’t have previous knowledge of the recurring character from previous bits. It’s like a parallel universe each time!
I miss Conan's old audiences as much as I miss the bits. His writers said the best ones were during the summer when all the college students came to see the show.
Amazing acting. Conan and his crew really knew how to do quality comedy. I remember staying up late as a teen just to watch Conan on NBC. Good memories. Times seemed simpler back then
Conan was right: The line about Hannigan getting a “fatherly punch in the throat” is super-depressing and a great example of the wild darkness crammed into these skits. 😂
@@anodosarcade7355 Yes, it's from the 90's. And that's what I was referring to. Anyone doing this skit today would be cancelled, because people have gotten really stupid in the last 20 years.
Okay, some compilations are just unbelievable. To have recorded every instance of this character that until this day I had never seen (and I've watched a good amount of Conan), you must be the biggest Conan fan on the planet. Or the world's biggest Hannigan fan.
"I'm just here to report a mad slasher. Yeah, he slashed the prices on the items that I have in this briefcase and now the bargains are totally criminal."
Man, I can't wait to see Brian again when Colbert returns. He's just genius dude and whatever he writes or whatever he takes part in as far as sketches the guy is brilliant. And I love his voices whether he does Kennedy or FDR just so brilliant
The writers presently on strike were forced to strike several years ago and we all ended up losing when the folks with the money decided to give the public “reality tv”.
"Did you just say it lowers sperm count?"
"The court orders me to say it, not repeat it."
These are great.
The writing in these bits is so dense and brilliant. It's so much better than it needs to be.
Packed with so many jokes and old references. Needs a few viewings to catch them all.
This writing is pure GOLD. A shout out to the actor as well. He's SO believable...and awesome!!

Maybe he needs to hear the song on that from Artie Kendall.

Absolutely incredible talent
10:03 is the closest he came to a stumble. So slight it's almost unnoticeable .
.
Minor stumble at 27:52
Correct. That is not easy.
Brian Stack had to be the best writer AND actor ever on the show. His delivery is unreal
And he played probably the most bizarre character that was ever on the show: The Interrupter! And he was also responsible for “Frankenstein Wastes a Minute of Our Time,” a bit that shouldn’t have worked but always did.
His old timey intros are the best part of all of this. Conan must've been dying on the inside, this is 100% his sense of humor.
Brian Stack currently works for Colberts Late Show, and he has been the head writer there for a long time.
@@jmp01a24But has he done anything as classic as this on Colbert? Does be have new characters?
@@wellesradio He has appeared on Colbert lately. In certain funny situations.
"This job has killed the part of my brain that lives in the present" 🤣
Conan has mentioned before that he loves this kind of early 20th century scammer, kind of similar to the monorail selling guy in the Simpsons.
Makes sense, he wrote that episode. I'm sure y'all already knew that.
@@cleverusername9369 did he write any other episodes
@@wuffalo he wrote four in total, i believe. Homer Goes to College, Marge vs. The Monorail, New Kid on the Block, and Treehouse of Horror IV. some of the best, imo.

Ah, too sentimental, eh??
"My late salesman father. Killed in his sleep by a shifty creole prostitute..." may be my favorite line of the whole video. Lol.

I love the idea that Hannigan is a total lunatic, shunned by society, but he still gets one over on Conan.

Late Night with Conan really was a gem of a show. So off the wall and hilarious.

‘Why did my prostitute mother trade me to circus freaks for an old Newsweek magazine? Some stones are best left unturned’ freakin brilliant
He delivers jokes like poetry. It’s amazing
Conan isn't only amazing writer and host in his own right, but he sure gathered an amazing team around him, too!
Brian Stack is such a gem.
Have you seen him do Brent Musberger? So good.
It's funny because Brian Stack also did a recurring bit as the singing Crooner ghost and it was basically the same scenario where Conan is shocked by his sudden appearance, Stack persistently offers something, and Conan is disgusted by it. Instead of selling crappy things, the ghost kept singing songs with offensive lyrics. 😂

So good
Best actor, best script..... DAMN!!!!
“Why does my illiterate 400 lb wife get conjugal visits with death row inmates? Sometimes it’s best to not ask”
25:35 “It’s Oppenheimerrific!” is a magical phrase
Fair play to the writers for so many quality jokes in a short space of time, and Brian Stack for not missing a single beat!
For 20 years, I've been doing that bit where I read a card or paper and slap it away like Hannigan and literally zero people know the reference.

Sounds fun to be around....
