I think that goes both ways, Jordon was ultimately trying to; if anything introduce Conan about a proper table manners and the intricacies of Japanese culture. But sadly this “meat-head” Conan, suffers immensely about his self-identity, and turns everything about himself into this super inflated eagle. ~Completely so fool of himself! His money and fame means nothing there! Jordan scores again!!!
@Luiblonc i understand that he wants to introduce Conan to Japanese culture and etiquette, but i think he should have done more research before doing so, pointing and flailing his chopsticks are bad manners. And makes him looks like a pretentious person.
@@godzillaex1288You’re entitled to your opinion. What you have to know, is that Conan is in the industry of show-business as an American comedian personality. Hence, it is his bread-butter, and is always on the quest to find new material to develop. Jordan on the other end, is incidentally part of his staff but on a remotely personal level is quite a well read fellow and culturally sensitive. Canon, only brought on Jordan based on his followers feed-back, to bring him back - how convenient. *Jordan is not pretentious at all, but I’d say culturally sensitive if that. Conan on the other hand is just too overly passive-aggressive, which sadly makes him look quite so insecure. But perhaps is the character that he preserves and the DNA of Conan.
WhalesTasteGreat of course, it’s a show. These remotes are mostly scripted and produced, they may let Conan and Jordan (or Sona or Andy or whoever) say a few different lines or just run with it, but they edit it to what they want to show anyways.

@Shallex stupid comment. You think actors are holding their script as they film television or movies? It's called memorization. I'm sure they improv as well but I guarantee there's a script also.
@@franqueee No, by "scripted" it means that many things are planned but others aren't, like how they actually feel about it. Just as it is wrong to assure that the reactions are genuine, it's just as wrong to assume they are fake. Only those two and maybe the cast crew know how much of this was planned.
@@bderrick4944 No it's because he's really into foreign cultures and adhering to them. Conan is his boss so in Japan he always pours his drink for him.

Oh my gosh.. This was FASCINATING!!! It was like a psychiatrist’s dream!!!! I never laughed once, where the original sketch made me laugh DOZENS of times!! This was so awesome!!!! I wish there were MORE real footage with Conan and Jordan!
I laughed harder here at around 9:25 then the shorter skits. It's like a slow burn sort of comedy. You realize Jordon really is insufferable. The build up is funnier somehow. They really could make a road trip blog together with just a couple of camera men like the youtubers do, and leave nearly everything in, it would be gold.

Disagree. Conan's jokes are repetitive and unoriginal. 'Sinking ship', 'psychiatric breakdown', 'insane'. Jordan is making honest criticisms of Conan, while Conan uses the mind of the superficial, average person to determine what's 'normal' or not, which is the wrong way to go about it.
@@saeedvazirian "Honest criticisms"? He's insulting the color of his phone. And why do you keep replying to people to defend Jordan? Are you Jordan? Wtf is going on here?
Well, in his defense, Conan does his best to push Jordan's buttons in every video they are together in. He needles and mocks him incessantly. It's good to see Jordan just stop taking it and start dishing it back. you can tell he has hit a nerve with Conan near the end and just keeps pushing like Conan does to him.

I actually found this video to be amazingly revealing in many ways. Glad I watched the whole thing, but it really starts to become clear at around the 45 minute mark why Jordan creates such a good foil for Conan. It’s super interesting to me because I feel like I’ve been in both Jordan’s and Conan’s shoes before. Conan and Jordan are actually very similar people, and I think that’s why they can actually talk this way. They’ve just reached two different conclusions in life philosophically. Every single criticism here that Jordan levels at Conan, referring to his eating habits, his childishness, his seeking out comfort and asserting himself as the dominant male as a defense mechanism... all of it applies directly to Jordan himself. He’s only capable of such criticisms because he’s guilty of all the things he sees in Conan. These are two highly intelligent men, and they actually seem to suffer from similar sociopathies. Jordan’s main point is that Conan uses his status as a security blanket, but as the dinner goes on Jordan is more and more empowered by saying these things out loud. He simply wants to feel good, and projecting himself onto Conan while berating that projection makes him feel like he’s conquering his own demons. He feels powerful. He’s asserting dominance over the parts of himself that he hates, and that he also sees in Conan. He hates the idea of being seen as childish, so he accuses Conan of being child-like. He overcorrects this behavior in himself, which makes him seem robotic and devoid of playfulness. He hates the idea of being seen as undesirable, so he attacks Conan’s belly fat. He says he can see Conan’s intelligence buzzing in his eyes, making Conan unable to relax and enjoy life. But saying this makes his hypocrisy clear, because Jordan himself is using every analytical bone in his body to go after Conan, making his own experience less enjoyable. He is a prisoner to his drive to always be correct, just as Conan is a prisoner in his drive to always be funny. Both being correct and being funny are just tools toward the end goal- being desirable or worth admiration. Which sets Conan up perfectly for the win. Conan knows this about Jordan. He prepared ahead of time. Right when Jordan builds himself to his peak levels of rutting, Conan deals the final blow by demonstrating that all of Jordan’s expertise is artifice. It’s fake. He brought the proof that broke Jordan by forcing him to confront the fact that he is not correct, and therefore not desirable, and therefore not Conan’s equal. Conan, on the other hand, is less of a prisoner to his insecurities, but still driven to maintain dominance. He is willing to take Jordan’s worst criticism head on and say “hey, maybe you’re right. But my mental issues have created all the jobs in this room”. He’s willing to admit to his flaws and confront them without shame or embarrassment. Jordan cannot do the same. For example, he accuses Conan of picking at his shirt for comfort. Conan freely admits it. Jordan jumps on this like a hound, trying to land a blow and make Conan feel like he lost the sparring match. But Jordan fails to recognize that the very flaw he’s jumping on is just another version of the thing he’s worshiping in this dinner. Every element placed carefully, everything beautiful, for the express purpose of elevating the human experience. Both are seeking comfort, but Jordan’s anxieties won’t let him find it, because when he sees that quality in others he discovers that he hates it. Revealing that he hates himself, because he cannot admit his own humanity in a way that makes him seem fragile. He’s only allowed himself to seek comfort from a place of strength, and not from a place of vulnerability. This makes him despise the fragile humanity that exists in himself. Conan has thought three steps ahead though. That’s why he waits until an hour in to shut Jordan down hard. He knows how Jordan works because he knows how his own mind works. His ability to admit his insecurities gives him the ability to see the same insecurities in Jordan, so he knows exactly how to hit him where it hurts the most. Both seek two things- joy and legacy. Because seeking to be a either always correct or always funny are just ways of expressing that they want to be desired by others, or admirable in the eyes of others. And this is just presumes that if others admire you, then you can have the joy you think you deserve, because others think you deserve it also. You are dominant in the eyes of both yourself and your fellow man, giving the assurances you need to allow yourself to feel joy and accomplishment. Jordan’s philosophy is that if he can learn enough about the world, he will finally crack the code on how to achieve both of those things without worrying about making a fatal misstep. Conan’s philosophy is that these things can only be achieved through and endless series of vulnerable missteps on the way to greatness, by putting himself at risk of humiliation over and over until he achieves success. Conan is the trailblazer on the path, Jordan is the cartographer that must understand every possible path before proceeding. Conan’s philosophy is the honest exuberance of a puppy, and Jordan’s is the careful considerations a cat. I think Conan understands that both of them will die eventually, we are all just humans struggling to find joy and we are all equal in that way, but the puppy usually gets more love. This is frustrating for Jordan, because despite his intelligence, and in fact due to his inability to stop putting his intelligence on a pedestal, he can’t unwind enough to achieve the effortless joy that comes so easily to Conan. His joy is always a battle. In a way, the simple perfection of the dining experience in terms of clean, simple, beautiful food and setting are a reflection of Jordan’s view of his idealized self, which Conan is intruding on. His need to establish dominance over Conan is the same as his need to maintain dominance over himself, he’s protecting his ideals expressed in the setting around him. You can see this when he tells Conan to “just sit” in a commanding tone and Conan responds “I’m your boss”. He’s not worried about Conan being restless, his anxiety just demands that he maintains control over his idealized environment out of fear. tl;dr Jordan needs to smoke some weed and stop missing the forest for the trees. It would be very therapeutic for them to both experience a place that neither of them knows anything about, like India. No research. No careful consideration. Jordan needs to put himself in a position where the pace of unknown experiences outstrip his ability to plan ahead, forcing him to truly live in a moment with no idea what might happen. Notice how Jordan rarely or never asks questions. He doesn’t want people to witness his ignorance. He should go somewhere where he needs to ask questions to survive for a week, and bring his friend Conan to witness that part of him.
I mostly agree. You didn't speak the fact that Conan prepared Tha machhio attack. Is it fake? I think Jordan did lost it there. He could have easily said the real place of shooting didn't matter but he was struggling too much within to think clearly about good comebacks. He s a mild sociopath and a bit douchy.
I love the bits Conan and Jordan do, but they cut out the best part! Jordan analyzing Conan with that reference about fighting his brother Neil for a pork chop was hilarious and actually shows the back and forth they have in real life... Glad I found this xD
“I see right through your beady little eyes” ..isn’t that the same thing Conan brought up before Italy and Jordan denied. Jordan is seriously a mean girl when it comes to insults.
8:50 you said nothing right 11:40 beginning of therapy 16:24 too much got cut 17:10 jordan breaks 23:19 tasting the semen 26:08 the conan wit 31:48 jordan pwns conan 32:56 incredible phrase 36:03 greatest timing ever 38:04 therapy breakthrough 39:45 best moment
I am so glad, I took the time to watch this. It is so much more realistic than the hyper edited, finished clip, and it shows all the comedy that was produced during that meal, not just the best of it. Really worth it for waiting through the natural pauses where there is no comedy. Better, in fact, I think. I love, how they just talked it out at length. Conan and Jordan really have a unique, resonating relationship.
Jordan is definetely jealous of the fact that Conan's status and wealth gives him access to the trip of Jordan's dreams as well as to his childhood hero. That's why he had to state ' I can get to Maccio ' with such despair.
52:00 It's funny to see how Jordan made Conan break character and go into defensive mode. So satisfying. Usually it's the other way around. Also observe how Conan's reflexive defense is "What are you talking about?" whereas Jordan's is usually "You're a fool!".
He was getting defensive because Jordan was attacking him pretty viciously? Conan even acknowledged he was kinda uncomfy when Jordan made the weird whoopee comments lol
Every time I see Jordan I travel through time and space. I go back 10,000 years ago when if you don't like a face you just pick up a rock and rearrange it.
All Jordan had to say was that they made the set *look* like Japan and hence his love for japan began...lol he really got defensive near the end and Conan was right hahahaa
These two are so great together, these uncut banters are apparently the reason it became what it did. I also think it’s quite telling of our own social and cultural biases and inclinations in how we react to them. I really enjoy seeing them work together, I wish there was more raw stuff like this.
I had this kind of insufferable friend who was always constantly trying turn every sentence of a conversation into some kind of teachable moment, when I was not needing or asking to be taught. These two make a fantastic comic duo together, diametrically opposed, Schlansky is the ultimate "straight man"
Lol I still found it hard to believe that this was Jordan's actual personality, even though Conan said it so many times. Jordan is actually like this? There are some really unique people in the world. Love these interactions between them.
People in the comments are really trying to look for something to hate. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD INVESTIGATE BEFORE SPEAKING. Yeah everything is a mix between a bit and a prank that was organized by Conan with Macchio, they are friends. And yes Jordan was pissed but not exactly "mental issues" or "broken" like I saw in some comments, he was just angry like friends sometimes get angry at a prank, STOP TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING BIGGER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. I mean c'mon he is literally laughing at 1:08:29
this. i'm really concerned about jordan's fans here getting any wrong idea.. I read somewhere that jordan actually beaten conan in the argument.. srsly wtf?
Ethan Wang if you go to Japan country side like KYOTO there are many breath taking garden restaurants! And the great foods! I am from Tokyo...but really Kyoto is the place for people wanna experience that atmosphere& environment & authentic gourmet foods!
Atsuko Livernois Thanks for the advice man! I am learning Japanese, I’ll definitely visit Kyoto and Tokyo when I speak good enough Japanese to travel by myself. I’m also looking to visit the beaches in Chiba.
Ethan Wang You're so welcome!!!! Chiba is good for surfers? I believe .Do you surf? Anyways ...avoid the rainy season & muggy extremely humid summer! Lol It's like practically as same as being in water! Lol. Drenching sweaty summer.Lol.And gotta warn you ,JAPANESE MEN HARDLY WEAR DEODRANTS! LOL DESPITE WE'RE Super HYGENIC!!!( MAN PRIDE!?) And another thing is...overly crowded trains!!! So ...summer time ....you can imagine!You'll be tortured! Lol .Oh! One more thing,2 more! We're NOTORIOUSLY KNOWN for ....1. the train workers will push you , squeeze you in a trian by FORCE!!! If people can't get in as overcrowded!!! 2. PERVERTS ON TRAINS! BE CAREFUL! YES SOME FEMALE PERVERTS , TOO! Mostly men....lol.I hope you'll have a blast when you visit! Don't worry there are many good stuff going there, too! Lol All the great stuff you hear about Japan are true! But theses are somethings you should know beforehand!? I hope I did good!P.S.ONE MORE! After 10 PM, or so at a platform of a train subway stations & IN A TRAIN , many are puking!!! As we Asians can't digest alcohol enzymes & drink hard LOTS OF BINGE DRINKING! ( we say Ickki) .That's basically LIFE IN JAPAN.LOL.
Atsuko Livernois Haha you are such a lovely person. Thanks for your advice! It’s very helpful! I do know about the crowded train and 電車で痴漢 haha. I’m not a surfer but I am a swimmer and I just love beautiful beaches which Japan has a lot of. I particularly like Japanese architecture, both classical and modern. I have studied western architecture in Europe for many years. By the way I am Asian as well, I am Chinese, my Last name is 王. And I can hold my liquor pretty well haha.
Ethan Wang Wow! You can write in Japanese ! Impressive! Cool! Your last name is KING! We had a home run king baseball player , a very famous guy by the same name! I believe he is Taiwanese? Anyways ...thanks! Glad I could help! But seems like you already know a lot of our culture!
Mary Anne Ayumi you do know very well! Impressed! Lol.But I hate that though I am Japanese. Maybe you had been to Japan...taught English? A lot people do that...Oh...just found out that you are JAPANESE! LOL.
@@maryanneayumi9594 I had dinner with friends who just moved here from Japan the other night and I was joking with them saying: "I know making slurping sound eating noodles is polite, but I can't do it even if I try, like I'd choke on them", he answered "Oh yes, it takes a lot of practice". 😂
You can see why despite it all Conan enjoys these conversations. They might be taxing, but they challenge him. And Jordan's analysis often cuts way deep, which Conan acknowledges by in-turn interrogating Jordan's facade of humbleness. I don't think he's a humble man at all, even if he constantly claims to be. In a way, Conan lives these experiences much more authentically than Jordan does, because Jordan always tries to mimic cultural archetypes he just can't ever embody himself, making him an eternal seeker.
I guess I see it as Jordan being passionate about new cultures and really well informed about them, learning as much as he can and immersing himself in it. It's the love of travelling. I see nothing wrong with that
There are just basically filming two guys arguing as comedy and honestly Jordan was in a foul mood that day , Conan May have done something prior to this lmao
Jordan: "respect the silence.... Can you hear the trickling of the water over your pointless ramblings?" ALSO Jordan 3 minutes later: "*talks at length about STYX for no reason and with no purpose*"
"If we were alone on an iceberg for 1,000 years there wouldn't be enough time to talk about the Styx" Too funny! Love that Schlansky breaks character around 40:10 mark. You can hear the camera crew laughing at them flexing about being able to get to Ralph Macchio.
and? at least he respects japan and is interested in its culture. why don't you appreciate foreigners who like your culture instead of berating them? your other comments really hate jordan. it's not like you can respect any other culture, or have any knowledge about that kind of stuff
Damn Conan cut Jordan into pieces for getting information wrong from his childhood. I know it's a bit, but come on he didn't get all this knowledge about japan from a single movie he just grew an appreciation for the culture from it. Although Jordan had weak sauce on responses back to Conan on this.
I would have punched Jordan. The way he talked to Conan, his boss, tries to play psycho-games and fails miserably. It is as if Conan knew where this was going and had his ace up his sleeve.
I've watch conan for a 1year and it feels like eternity...seriously it was 12 months but I feel li ke it was 12yrsof watching same jokes all the time...and I really enjoy it at beginning:)

Neither are wrong, but Jordan's statement is something a crazy person would say.

Conan, on the other hand, is less of a prisoner to his insecurities, but still driven to maintain dominance. He is willing to take Jordan’s worst criticism head on and say “hey, maybe you’re right. But my mental issues have created all the jobs in this room”. He’s willing to admit to his flaws and confront them without shame or embarrassment. Jordan cannot do the same. For example, he accuses Conan of picking at his shirt for comfort. Conan freely admits it. Jordan jumps on this like a hound, trying to land a blow and make Conan feel like he lost the sparring match. But Jordan fails to recognize that the very flaw he’s jumping on is just another version of the thing he’s worshiping in this dinner. Every element placed carefully, everything beautiful, for the express purpose of elevating the human experience. Both are seeking comfort, but Jordan’s anxieties won’t let him find it, because when he sees that quality in others he discovers that he hates it. Revealing that he hates himself, because he cannot admit his own humanity in a way that makes him seem fragile. He’s only allowed himself to seek comfort from a place of strength, and not from a place of vulnerability. This makes him despise the fragile humanity that exists in himself.
Conan has thought three steps ahead though. That’s why he waits until an hour in to shut Jordan down hard. He knows how Jordan works because he knows how his own mind works. His ability to admit his insecurities gives him the ability to see the same insecurities in Jordan, so he knows exactly how to hit him where it hurts the most.
Both seek two things- joy and legacy. Because seeking to be a either always correct or always funny are just ways of expressing that they want to be desired by others, or admirable in the eyes of others. And this is just presumes that if others admire you, then you can have the joy you think you deserve, because others think you deserve it also. You are dominant in the eyes of both yourself and your fellow man, giving the assurances you need to allow yourself to feel joy and accomplishment. Jordan’s philosophy is that if he can learn enough about the world, he will finally crack the code on how to achieve both of those things without worrying about making a fatal misstep. Conan’s philosophy is that these things can only be achieved through and endless series of vulnerable missteps on the way to greatness, by putting himself at risk of humiliation over and over until he achieves success. Conan is the trailblazer on the path, Jordan is the cartographer that must understand every possible path before proceeding. Conan’s philosophy is the honest exuberance of a puppy, and Jordan’s is the careful considerations a cat. I think Conan understands that both of them will die eventually, we are all just humans struggling to find joy and we are all equal in that way, but the puppy usually gets more love. This is frustrating for Jordan, because despite his intelligence, and in fact due to his inability to stop putting his intelligence on a pedestal, he can’t unwind enough to achieve the effortless joy that comes so easily to Conan. His joy is always a battle. In a way, the simple perfection of the dining experience in terms of clean, simple, beautiful food and setting are a reflection of Jordan’s view of his idealized self, which Conan is intruding on. His need to establish dominance over Conan is the same as his need to maintain dominance over himself, he’s protecting his ideals expressed in the setting around him.
You can see this when he tells Conan to “just sit” in a commanding tone and Conan responds “I’m your boss”. He’s not worried about Conan being restless, his anxiety just demands that he maintains control over his idealized environment out of fear.
tl;dr Jordan needs to smoke some weed and stop missing the forest for the trees.
It would be very therapeutic for them to both experience a place that neither of them knows anything about, like India. No research. No careful consideration. Jordan needs to put himself in a position where the pace of unknown experiences outstrip his ability to plan ahead, forcing him to truly live in a moment with no idea what might happen.
Notice how Jordan rarely or never asks questions. He doesn’t want people to witness his ignorance. He should go somewhere where he needs to ask questions to survive for a week, and bring his friend Conan to witness that part of him.
I may or may not have been on drugs when I wrote this comment. But I stand by it.
man i just read the whole thing :D .. interesting. Greetings from Germany :D
@@TheCriticalArchitect what kind of drugs and where to get them hypothetically?
I mostly agree.
You didn't speak the fact that Conan prepared Tha machhio attack. Is it fake?
I think Jordan did lost it there.
He could have easily said the real place of shooting didn't matter but he was struggling too much within to think clearly about good comebacks.
He s a mild sociopath and a bit douchy.
Drugs: mystical experience of the ignorant.
Does a hidden yet permeating knowledge of mankind's development exist?
Thank you infinitely for posting THIS LENGTH OF CONTINUOUS DOCUMENTATION OF JORDAN. Please give us more.
Dang, it was an 11 minute video in the end. They to do a lot of improv that didn't make it. Respect.
yes imagine the editor/chief writer endure listeing to all of this. they are the ones to get respects
I fully support Jordan Schlansky
I love the bits Conan and Jordan do, but they cut out the best part! Jordan analyzing Conan with that reference about fighting his brother Neil for a pork chop was hilarious and actually shows the back and forth they have in real life... Glad I found this xD
“We’re two men traveling thru time and space.” -Jordan Schlansky
He is one crafty fake Japanese.
Weeb Schlansky
There are many masterpieces of cinema I could have consumed in this some-odd hour, but I have watched this. I am thoroughly entertained. :D
“I see right through your beady little eyes” ..isn’t that the same thing Conan brought up before Italy and Jordan denied. Jordan is seriously a mean girl when it comes to insults.
8:50 you said nothing right
11:40 beginning of therapy
16:24 too much got cut
17:10 jordan breaks
23:19 tasting the semen
26:08 the conan wit
31:48 jordan pwns conan
32:56 incredible phrase
36:03 greatest timing ever
38:04 therapy breakthrough
39:45 best moment
Wow, so many years since I've seen someone use the word "pwn". Love it.
@@Floedekagegood old runescape days
Good, thanks
I love how Jordan gives Conan shit for fucking up his Japanese when the dude only knows like 2 words lol
I am so glad, I took the time to watch this. It is so much more realistic than the hyper edited, finished clip, and it shows all the comedy that was produced during that meal, not just the best of it.
Really worth it for waiting through the natural pauses where there is no comedy. Better, in fact, I think.
I love, how they just talked it out at length. Conan and Jordan really have a unique, resonating relationship.
Jordan is definetely jealous of the fact that Conan's status and wealth gives him access to the trip of Jordan's dreams as well as to his childhood hero. That's why he had to state ' I can get to Maccio ' with such despair.
Jealousy is like poison
This guy traveled to italy 30x. I think its not a problem for him to travel to Japan.
@@szymongrabarczyk3561 Not with his own camera team and media attention of Conan's scale.
"Do you hear the trickling of the water over your pointless ramblings?" is actually a good burn.
52:00 It's funny to see how Jordan made Conan break character and go into defensive mode. So satisfying. Usually it's the other way around. Also observe how Conan's reflexive defense is "What are you talking about?" whereas Jordan's is usually "You're a fool!".
He was getting defensive because Jordan was attacking him pretty viciously? Conan even acknowledged he was kinda uncomfy when Jordan made the weird whoopee comments lol
When he said are you on coke in front of the restaurant i died😂
He brought Jordan!?
Hell yeah!!
36:13 was so perfectly timed lol had me rolling
Holy shot this was awesome. Conan in raw footage is a ton of fun
When he said say I’m sorry slowly, Conan looked at him like I hate you
This would legitimately make for some extremely fascinating theater.
I love it when the woman bites her lip to keep from laughing.
Every time I see Jordan I travel through time and space. I go back 10,000 years ago when if you don't like a face you just pick up a rock and rearrange it.
All Jordan had to say was that they made the set *look* like Japan and hence his love for japan began...lol he really got defensive near the end and Conan was right hahahaa
These two are so great together, these uncut banters are apparently the reason it became what it did. I also think it’s quite telling of our own social and cultural biases and inclinations in how we react to them.
I really enjoy seeing them work together, I wish there was more raw stuff like this.
This is GOLD .. These two together can make anything super interesting
holy wowzerz.. i haven't laughed like that in a long time.. this is insanely funny
This is mind-boggingly brilliant. How on earth did the cameramen keep it together, never mind the two of them? I would not have coped.
Jordan just started shitting on Ralp Macchio near the end lol
Now I understand why Conan goes off on him all the time lol
I like how Jordan sneakily insults Conan why eagerly explaining things "You are nobody" "Nobody cares who you are here"
"Stop saying we are two men!"
"..So we are two men"😂
dude i fall asleep listening to jordan n had a nightmare, woke up my guy is still going
Conan and Jordan are destined to die together one day with their hands around each other's throats.
I had this kind of insufferable friend who was always constantly trying turn every sentence of a conversation into some kind of teachable moment, when I was not needing or asking to be taught. These two make a fantastic comic duo together, diametrically opposed, Schlansky is the ultimate "straight man"
I love Conan.. he is the best host. whenever I'm down I just watch & feel happy again. thanks alot bro Conan
"We are two men"
"... overwhelmed with romance..."
37:20 "in this era, me too, I'm not going to show my belly" LOL.
Lol I still found it hard to believe that this was Jordan's actual personality, even though Conan said it so many times. Jordan is actually like this? There are some really unique people in the world. Love these interactions between them.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I wish more shows did this.
This is hilarious even without the background laughs
I'm supposed to be working on my essay, instead, I'm laughing out loud watching this. OMG these two men are hilarious.
Love you Conan.
People in the comments are really trying to look for something to hate. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD INVESTIGATE BEFORE SPEAKING. Yeah everything is a mix between a bit and a prank that was organized by Conan with Macchio, they are friends. And yes Jordan was pissed but not exactly "mental issues" or "broken" like I saw in some comments, he was just angry like friends sometimes get angry at a prank, STOP TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING BIGGER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS.
I mean c'mon he is literally laughing at 1:08:29
Lol
Looks like you're the one getting tore up about everything
@@disturbedone8731 you're abuse of the English language is tearing me up

this. i'm really concerned about jordan's fans here getting any wrong idea.. I read somewhere that jordan actually beaten conan in the argument.. srsly wtf?
this is the most intense movie I've ever seen
This should be required viewing for all school age children
40:47 you are welcome
aaron
omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 of course aaron had to 💞💞
that was kind of weird
Cheers
I didn't even know if he was filming and just assumed he was...and he was. :/
My life is complete Conan and Jordan in Japan. I don't need anything else
shreya shahi don’t u wanna see what his wife nd child look like?
28:11 “should i shut the door” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Conan is king of spontaneous reactions and come backs 🤣
10:54 Jordans reaction to Conan sneezing into his hands, and the banter that follows, is just fantastic
What a nice place, the landscape outside is just insane!
Ethan Wang if you go to Japan country side like KYOTO there are many breath taking garden restaurants! And the great foods! I am from Tokyo...but really Kyoto is the place for people wanna experience that atmosphere& environment & authentic gourmet foods!
Atsuko Livernois Thanks for the advice man! I am learning Japanese, I’ll definitely visit Kyoto and Tokyo when I speak good enough Japanese to travel by myself. I’m also looking to visit the beaches in Chiba.
Ethan Wang You're so welcome!!!! Chiba is good for surfers? I believe .Do you surf? Anyways ...avoid the rainy season & muggy extremely humid summer! Lol It's like practically as same as being in water! Lol. Drenching sweaty summer.Lol.And gotta warn you ,JAPANESE MEN HARDLY WEAR DEODRANTS! LOL DESPITE WE'RE Super HYGENIC!!!( MAN PRIDE!?) And another thing is...overly crowded trains!!! So ...summer time ....you can imagine!You'll be tortured! Lol .Oh! One more thing,2 more! We're NOTORIOUSLY KNOWN for ....1. the train workers will push you , squeeze you in a trian by FORCE!!! If people can't get in as overcrowded!!! 2. PERVERTS ON TRAINS! BE CAREFUL! YES SOME FEMALE PERVERTS , TOO! Mostly men....lol.I hope you'll have a blast when you visit! Don't worry there are many good stuff going there, too! Lol All the great stuff you hear about Japan are true! But theses are somethings you should know beforehand!? I hope I did good!P.S.ONE MORE! After 10 PM, or so at a platform of a train subway stations & IN A TRAIN , many are puking!!! As we Asians can't digest alcohol enzymes & drink hard LOTS OF BINGE DRINKING! ( we say Ickki) .That's basically LIFE IN JAPAN.LOL.
Atsuko Livernois Haha you are such a lovely person. Thanks for your advice! It’s very helpful! I do know about the crowded train and 電車で痴漢 haha. I’m not a surfer but I am a swimmer and I just love beautiful beaches which Japan has a lot of. I particularly like Japanese architecture, both classical and modern. I have studied western architecture in Europe for many years. By the way I am Asian as well, I am Chinese, my Last name is 王. And I can hold my liquor pretty well haha.
Ethan Wang Wow! You can write in Japanese ! Impressive! Cool! Your last name is KING! We had a home run king baseball player , a very famous guy by the same name! I believe he is Taiwanese? Anyways ...thanks! Glad I could help! But seems like you already know a lot of our culture!
Jordan: "Respect the silence"...
Conan: "SluuuuuuuuuuuRRRRRRppppPPpPpp!!!"
Slurp is normal in japan.
Mary Anne Ayumi you do know very well! Impressed! Lol.But I hate that though I am Japanese. Maybe you had been to Japan...taught English? A lot people do that...Oh...just found out that you are JAPANESE! LOL.
Atsuko Livernois I’m Japanese. I studied in the UK.
well.. and Jordan can't shut up "respect the sicence2 my a55
@@maryanneayumi9594 I had dinner with friends who just moved here from Japan the other night and I was joking with them saying: "I know making slurping sound eating noodles is polite, but I can't do it even if I try, like I'd choke on them", he answered "Oh yes, it takes a lot of practice". 😂
Jordan never answers a question directly.
Welcome to Japan! Please enjoy your stay in Japan :)
koji m Jordan is trying to gain intel on Japan so that he can bring back information to his planet.
You can see why despite it all Conan enjoys these conversations. They might be taxing, but they challenge him. And Jordan's analysis often cuts way deep, which Conan acknowledges by in-turn interrogating Jordan's facade of humbleness. I don't think he's a humble man at all, even if he constantly claims to be. In a way, Conan lives these experiences much more authentically than Jordan does, because Jordan always tries to mimic cultural archetypes he just can't ever embody himself, making him an eternal seeker.
I guess I see it as Jordan being passionate about new cultures and really well informed about them, learning as much as he can and immersing himself in it. It's the love of travelling. I see nothing wrong with that
There are just basically filming two guys arguing as comedy and honestly Jordan was in a foul mood that day , Conan May have done something prior to this lmao
He destroyed his childhood in the middle of dinner, I think that's enough to piss anyone off
Thank you Conan!! Uncut versions of all Jordan episodes please. Can’t wait for the Italy one!!
They are literally like brothers LOL!
Watching Conan die inside for a full hour
And then watching this.
But he gets the payoff at the end.
You watching something completely different from the rest of us...
That view is so gorgeous. I'm transfixed
40:49 That face "Sorry, facebook... i didn't know it would turn out this way :/" LOL
Konbanwa is only said once just for evening Greetings Jordan 😂
lol don't get fooled by jordan he was once called 'fake italian' by conan
There's an hour of this. Words cannot describe how happy I am
This is way too funny. Both get drunk from sake and start insulting each other!
It's so weird without the editing and laughtrack
It’s not a laugh track by the way, they play these travel remotes in front of a real audience like during their normal tapings
Jordan: "respect the silence.... Can you hear the trickling of the water over your pointless ramblings?"
ALSO Jordan 3 minutes later: "*talks at length about STYX for no reason and with no purpose*"
Conan and Jordan: the real life classic comedy double act where the funny man is the straight man's boss.
This video is so fucking hilarious, it’s been years but I still can’t get thru it without laughing
"If we were alone on an iceberg for 1,000 years there wouldn't be enough time to talk about the Styx" Too funny!
Love that Schlansky breaks character around 40:10 mark. You can hear the camera crew laughing at them flexing about being able to get to Ralph Macchio.
There was no breaking character. Except for some schticks this was real talk here.
I’m trippin on Jordan’s wisdom rn 😂 I’m high and he makes soooo much sense just listen!
Damn Jordan is insane.
I’m Japanese, but Jordan looks like he’s wearing a Priest cloth :D
A Shinto priest no?
and? at least he respects japan and is interested in its culture. why don't you appreciate foreigners who like your culture instead of berating them? your other comments really hate jordan. it's not like you can respect any other culture, or have any knowledge about that kind of stuff
@@MrMYD-fc9bw it's a comedy skit
I enjoyed all the pixels.
We need to give absolute credit to Team Coco's editors. Not just for this, but for all remotes, they do such an incredible job.
Holy shit, Jordan is an actual insane person. That was unreal.
Damn Conan cut Jordan into pieces for getting information wrong from his childhood. I know it's a bit, but come on he didn't get all this knowledge about japan from a single movie he just grew an appreciation for the culture from it. Although Jordan had weak sauce on responses back to Conan on this.
Yeah I think Conan went a little bit too far on this one
@@themysteriouscatperson9483 wait until a know-it-all person talk to you and you may do as conan did :)
@@AhmadSanny
Nah know it all people are sweet
I would have punched Jordan. The way he talked to Conan, his boss, tries to play psycho-games and fails miserably. It is as if Conan knew where this was going and had his ace up his sleeve.
this is way funnier without the audience laughing in the back xd
Is no one gonna say that Conan O’ Brien mentioned that Jordan has a child now
Thank you for posting this video. It's really awe inspiring
This is what an enfp and intj friendship looks like
Not a friendship
i could listen to Jordan talk all day.
Conan - "I took one for team"
Jordan - "What team" 😂😂😂
I've watch conan for a 1year and it feels like eternity...seriously it was 12 months but I feel li ke it was 12yrsof watching same jokes all the time...and I really enjoy it at beginning:)
