It is win win Still making fun of white people Makes fun of virtue signaling liberals Done by a black man Thats all fair game that everyone can enjoy aside from fragile virtue signaling white liberals of course
@stephenwolf that weak wordplay of "oh you dont think black lives matter then?" doesn't fly anymore because of white liberals rioting made people start looking into the BLM and antifa organization This is precisely why it is fair game to make fun of well meaning white liberals Who is counterproductive now?
Dunno what's hard to get amigos, it's poking fun at the performative activism that is rife in one of LA's trendiest and majority-white neighborhoods. I enjoyed the balance of snobby-art-critic-meets-wildlife-documentary-narrator in this, as it takes the dehumanizing aspect of The Gaze and turns it back onto those who typically do The Gazing. All he needs is a fine Chianti to suck through his teeth. Love it.
Pretty sure he's basically making fun of BLM, and the fact that most who support it, have no idea what it stands for! Yes, black lives do matter, but you have to be an idiot to think BLM cares about black lives! They are literally the Weather Underground renamed!
@@raynorhannah8395 nah you're stupid. And jamal made a dumb video which allows sich interpretations. It's just supposed to be comedy. In any case it's making fun of white "non"conformists who play into the trend with frivolous, empty, signs. Literally signs, on their windows, to show they're cool, but it's useless. The weather underground were pretty cool
I mean this with no disrespect, but all the "I don't get it" comments make this bit funnier. Kinda impressed with Team Coco for putting this up right now.
@@iiziclap I've been watching Conan for 25 years. What's the joke here? Is Jamel Johnson making fun of people critiquing signs? Or is he actually critiquing signs thinking it's funny? Was he making fun of people who think it's unsafe to walk in some neighborhoods than others; is why he pointed out the race of the people he thinks live there and wore a wig to "look like them" so he wouldn't get arrested as he said? Or is that satire because the premise is ridiculous? Is he actually criticizing the intelligence and education of the people who would support BLM and make the signs, is it a joke, or is it satire of someone who actually did this? It's pretty sad that needed to be pointed out but it's really not clear. What exactly is this sketch? The subject matter leads me to believe it's not some silly character sketch with Preparation H Raymond or something. What is it?
@@IanSlatas No, I'm with you. In isolation I can't tell if it's attacking "L.A.’s whitest neighborhoods" for not being more engaged in the BLM movement; or if it's mocking the shallowness of the BLM movement itself. That it's not clear whether it's parody or unintentional self-parody says a lot about the state of the world, in either case.
If you fell off that brick wall at the end of the vid I was afraid that all the king's horses and all the king's men may not be able to put you back together again
Conan usually doesn't take an L, but damn it, you earned it with this one, sir. Lol. Man, how can you miss the mark on so many levels? We've got pandering, poor delivery, bad jokes, and more! 🤦♂️
William Brown What an excellent scenario. It would depend on what the joke is. If it was done for no reason, I imagine I would probably be pretty enraged...maybe more of an eye-roll reaction while thinking “here we go again”, because there’s a history of systemic white supremacy against Black people and people of color. Black face and cultural appropriation exist to mock/dehumanize/co-opt Black people and exaggerate Black stereotypes. A Black person or person of color wearing a blonde wig to illustrate they would be less likely to be descended upon by police is quite effective satire...not even satire just truth. The power structures as they stand today don’t really allow for that double standard to exist. Therefore, I believe what you’re imagining is a false equivalency. But hey...that’s just me.
I get that it's satire but it's still kinda poor taste no matter how you look at it. You're still making fun of people who are supporting a very good cause. At least they felt strongly enough to have a sign. That's more than most have done.
Uh...what? This bit was pale (fine, poor) imitation of Conan's comedy. Conan is the center of attention, the clown, the joke within the joke, that's how he makes even the most surreal material work. This is not your thing, dude. Polish your comedy to fit you.
@Diwakar Dey I use the name to honour him. He is my favourite singer. Is that cultural appropriation or something? Social justice warriors might find it inappropriate, well f(@ck them
You realize there is propaganda both far left and far right? Edit: I do recognize that there are smart republicans and smart democrats. I am just learning more and more that people will believe any BS/ conspiracy theory they hear so that they can ignore how unintelligent and inadept members of their party or their representatives actually are.
@@thierry18 I know that and i agree with you. However, the PC Culture that is being shoved down our throats by the social justice warriors is a leftist movement and it is restricting free speech.
race baiting so funny! except black people dont find it funny when white people do it to them? people would be screaming if someone said "the handmade quality of this sign lets me know these black people did bad in school"
How is it that showing support for BLM should be criticized in this way? It seems to me it is shaming and an attempt to silence the movement. White people supporting the movement is very appropriate and shouldn’t be shamed.
I agree. This sketch seems very misguided at best and downright hateful at worst. When he said something to the effect of, "Just know I don't care about you in the slightest" - that really was disheartening to hear. The world needs as much empathy and togetherness as possible right now. Snidely mocking those trying to show their support in the most open way isn't funny, edgy or insightful--just lazy cynicism of the sort that Conan once derided on his final Tonight Show broadcast.
Most of the time Conan’s interviews and segments are funny to me, even unexpectedly sometimes, but this video falls severely short of being funny to me.
@@johnulcer Actually, I think the world needs more transparency and truth, and less people reacting out of emotions rather than logic: th-cam.com/video/V6plFlk1uTo/w-d-xo.html
Where did you get the mask nice one also cool video and message, Remember don't break the law and let the law break you! Stay safe lets get through this 💜
For anyone critiquing the premise, just keep in mind that if this was funnier you wouldn't care. It just wasn't written (or improvised?) well enough to carry the premise, that's all. Not every bit is a winner. Such is comedy.
That wig...>,;,< Technically racist, but w/e. People seem to think it only works one way, and that is going to hurt the equality movement down the line.
Is this supposed to be comedy? As an aspiring critic myself, I suggest they use humor when trying to be funny. And maybe someone that's... Well... Funny?
@@oscarinacan I don't know the dude from the video, and don't think I'm taking to him when I make a comment. Just sending it out into the ether. I'm commenting on the comedy, not the content.

Conan two months ago on his podcast: "the most important thing about my job is to be funny." Conan today: white guilt with a side order of white guilt, zero humor.
What i believe this video is about, just my opinion really. It’s in response of the awful treatment, the killings, the racism etc.. of the black community, were the situation is so bad that moral support isn’t enough. This video is making a point by making people uncomfortable. It’s like wearing bracelets with sensible message for the environment on it at some point doesn’t make any difference for fighting climate change.
333AndMan, human rights? You are more likely to be killed by a police officer while unarmed if you are white than black. All the the people that are being mentioned in BLM, like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, were all doing something illegal at the time of their death. If it really was about human rights, I would be marching with all of the other protesters and hold up a black lives matter sign.
Conan has also made a lot of political statements with his show. He went to Mexico when Trump was talking about building the wall and increasing border security, he went to Greenland when Trump talked about purchasing it from Denmark, and he went to Israel and Palestin
Please explain how a child playing with a toy gun deserves him being shot to death. Or a man paying with a legitimate $20 note deserves being murdered. Or why white supremacists get to murder innocent people, keep their job, and avoid any sentencing
Will Williams Thats been debunked numerous times. He didn’t just happen to die of an overdose at the exact moment that a police officer crushed his chest and suffocated him.
For Jesus Christ ALM - All Lives Matter. Everyone is a victim of sin. For God all lives are equal. God loves everyone unconditionally. Jesus Christ died and resurrected for remissions of everybody's pre-existing sin to save from eternal hell. Penalty of sin already paid by Jesus Christ on The Cross. Accept HIM. Be saved from sin and eternal hell. For free.
There is so many BLM signs in my city- every neighborhood! I went buy a house that was valued at $980000 the owner had painted their entire garage door with a BLM mural. The world has changed - & Republicans better catch up.
I feel like this is a lose/lose premise no matter which side your take is on.
