@@Muzikrazy213 The "gray on gray" quip led to an attempt to add color to some office buildings. The open office redesign looked much better than the 80s and 90s cubicles, at least the one I saw in Santa Clara. Much more current, modern aesthetic, without walls. I left the company a couple of years after that so not sure how well it took hold. Friends who stayed said it didn't work out too well but it's been years since then (Conan did this bit in 2007).
And they still let him do his shenanigans. Says a lot. And they redesigned they layout after for staff. Can't argue what conan pointed out, and Intel made adjustments. Still a hilarious remote.
Something tells me a smart higher-up realized there was a detrimental bureaucratic culture and gave Conan the go-ahead to speak freely. That'd give decision-makers the intra-bureaucratic political mandate to start making sweeping changes...that's my guess, anyway. If the office still looks like that today then disregard.

The really evil thing about moving a chair that says, "Do not move this chair out of this cubicle" is that when someone walks by the place where you illegally moved it to, they'll think that's where it belongs and the chair won't ever be able to get back to it's home unless another evil person walks by

lol as a kid I thought cubicles were the coolest thing ever. I still remember my excitement going into my mom's workplace for Take your Kids To Work Day
@@MrMustacrackish that's because they only ride trends and pander relentlessly. Conan tries to strike a balance between mass appeal and being himself. Also, Conan's earlier attempts at appealing to the younger generations were huge hits (clueless gamer) because they did it while letting him be himself. Fallon in his place would have pretended to enjoy the games instead of going on a hilarious rant.

As a child of a Intel Engineer (in Cali, but different campus) this is 10000% accurate. The pink stickers on the kids were our “guest badges” and I used to think I was so cool. And the cafeteria chairs were as uncomfortable as they looked. That’s why you’d see so many people just eat at their cubicles.

Imagine working at a company like intel, you’re doing paper work minding your own business on a random Wednesday afternoon in B10 and Conan just walks behind you...you think to yourself no way that’s real I must be hallucinating, I’ve been working here for too long
Linus, a big tech nerd: “Intel is one of the most highly secure places on earth, i would trade my left arm if they let me tour that place” Conan, a non tech-involved cool guy: Simply enters Intel
To be fair I do not think they let Conan near the actual place where they are making the chips. He just hanged out in the hallways and the quality testing place, away from the machines.
If you notice no one in the comments ever says "hey, that's me!" It's because they don't exist in this world. Everything you see on television is a fabrication made from another dimension. Whether they do exist in another dimension or not? I don't know. Maybe they are just Ais preforming a role, maybe they are real people. It's impossible to say.
Oh look it's the AMD fan boys who ignore the fact that their Ryzen series and Linux simply don't go together. Infact Linux crashes running on Ryzen (learned that the hard way) but oh well
I was at Intel when this was filmed and air back in the day. Wow I even recognize some of the faces in the cafeteria. These cubicles look like a different world now--not sure what Intel has changed to now but I have switched to a software company in 2014 and it's been open office space for me ever since. Equally depressing. The no individuality part is also the same across tech , software or hardware.
That sucks. I think there'd be more creativity and innovation if everybody could express themselves. Plus, if it wasn't so serious there than people would have a nicer job (I think). How are the bosses at tech companies? I really love all the funny teachers I've had because everybody always laughs and still wants to learn. I think a funny boss would be a lot better than a scary or serious boss, because they could cheer everybody up and just be nice to everybody.
@@ultraaatf Aw man, for real? I hope that there are nice tech companies, though. There must be so many tech companies that a few are nice (other than the famous companies).
Open office space is even worse than cubicles. At least with cubicles you can visually tune coworkers out, and maybe have a figurine or cute picture to make it feel slightly more custom. Open office space is just SO distracting and I'll be glad when that corporate trend finally dies down.
Thats why he got into Harvard because This is a perfect example of logical vs creative/ critical thinking ... conan really put that guy in his place with his quick creative repartees ... Einstein was right when he said -"logic takes you from A to B but imagination takes you everywhere"............
Apply that logic to a company trying to do the next big thing with what they got and the former part of that quote makes a lot of sense. Honestly, without A to B thinking do you think "everywhere" is even possible given the laws of physics the human race knows about? Imagine it: Person 1 says, "Dudes, imagine all the things we could do!" and Person 2 says, "I can. But how do we get there?" Person 1 says, "I don't know. Be creative!" and Person 2 says, "Let me think on that." Stupidity is thinking that there is only one way or answer to questions that one doesn't even know to ask yet.
went there for a school field trip a couple years after this was filmed and it’s so crazy how everything looks exactly the same as i remember this is so nostalgic
My father used to work at Intel and when he would bring me there ,I would entertain myself by stealing as my many pencils and pens as I could and following the floor patterns to random locations until I got lost and cry and then someone would bring me back to him. Super fun place.
@@LARRY113Z honestly tho. i was trying to guess when was this from, he looked young but i didn't expect he was 44 in this. damn, he doesn't age and looks so damn good!
This was filmed in 2009 when Intel was still on top of their game. For reference that's the year Intel made the move to 32nm fabrication, while AMD was still setting up their 45nm design and production. It was also the first time they introduced Integrated Graphics. Props to AMD for coming a long way in just a decade though.
@@bendejo8 oof my bad. Regardless, imo Intel gets a lot of hate for not innovating the past decade, when they've been pretty much the sole innovator for decades leading up to mobile ARM chips revolution. It's great for us consumers when competition is this healthy. I hope AMD gets to drive down prices further.
@@helicocktor Intel innovated up until they released sandy bridge. After that it was the same products every generation and the only thing changing was the price. Thankfully AMD has finally made Intel wake up and start doing something.

You’re right my man! There ain’t no competition for him. And I’m keepin it one hunnid with you
Conan spreads joy everywhere he goes!
When he visits places, it’s the best 🤣
Awesome tracks dude!
I'd love someday for more Conan w/o borders or whatever it is called
Linus, a big tech nerd: “Intel is one of the most highly secure places on earth, i would trade my left arm if they let me tour that place”
Conan, a non tech-involved cool guy: Simply enters Intel
To be fair I do not think they let Conan near the actual place where they are making the chips. He just hanged out in the hallways and the quality testing place, away from the machines.
TheDouser still, further than what linus managed to do
Well, Conan was paid by Intel. He pretty much states this as well in the first 60 seconds of this video.
linus can start visiting the intel museum on his own and not bring Anthony
And Still they got hacked few days ago 😂
I wonder if those kids watch this now that they’re older
Yep. I'm part of that age group lol
If you notice no one in the comments ever says "hey, that's me!" It's because they don't exist in this world. Everything you see on television is a fabrication made from another dimension. Whether they do exist in another dimension or not? I don't know. Maybe they are just Ais preforming a role, maybe they are real people. It's impossible to say.
@Keegan Linardi He's definitely srs
"This is the Intel cafeteria, a giant room, filled with the biggest nerds in the country" 😆💀😆💀😆💀 bruh
I absolutely love Conan’s field trips.
"intel is the world-leading chip manufacturer."
AMD: "not for long."
AMD: hold my foundry.......
@@SoapinTrucker hold my 7nm process
Oh look it's the AMD fan boys who ignore the fact that their Ryzen series and Linux simply don't go together. Infact Linux crashes running on Ryzen (learned that the hard way) but oh well
@@La_sagne you know nothing bud amd is fabless...shame on your knowledge
@@rake1087 I use Linux with a 2700x and it runs perfectly fine? What kind of drugs are you on? The only fanboy here is you.
There's no award you can give this guy. The world needs more people like him!
Conan with the kids certainly peaked this remote. It was hilarious.
I was at Intel when this was filmed and air back in the day. Wow I even recognize some of the faces in the cafeteria. These cubicles look like a different world now--not sure what Intel has changed to now but I have switched to a software company in 2014 and it's been open office space for me ever since. Equally depressing. The no individuality part is also the same across tech , software or hardware.
That sucks. I think there'd be more creativity and innovation if everybody could express themselves. Plus, if it wasn't so serious there than people would have a nicer job (I think).
How are the bosses at tech companies? I really love all the funny teachers I've had because everybody always laughs and still wants to learn. I think a funny boss would be a lot better than a scary or serious boss, because they could cheer everybody up and just be nice to everybody.
@@ultraaatf Aw man, for real? I hope that there are nice tech companies, though. There must be so many tech companies that a few are nice (other than the famous companies).
* laughs in my employer allows me to ssh into the raspberrypi I keep on my desk at work *
Honestly, I think I would prefer cubicles to open space. At least you have some privacy. And it's easier to focus
Open office space is even worse than cubicles. At least with cubicles you can visually tune coworkers out, and maybe have a figurine or cute picture to make it feel slightly more custom. Open office space is just SO distracting and I'll be glad when that corporate trend finally dies down.
Thats why he got into Harvard because This is a perfect example of logical vs creative/ critical thinking ... conan really put that guy in his place with his quick creative repartees ... Einstein was right when he said -"logic takes you from A to B but imagination takes you everywhere"............
Apply that logic to a company trying to do the next big thing with what they got and the former part of that quote makes a lot of sense. Honestly, without A to B thinking do you think "everywhere" is even possible given the laws of physics the human race knows about? Imagine it: Person 1 says, "Dudes, imagine all the things we could do!" and Person 2 says, "I can. But how do we get there?" Person 1 says, "I don't know. Be creative!" and Person 2 says, "Let me think on that." Stupidity is thinking that there is only one way or answer to questions that one doesn't even know to ask yet.
@@vizn9118 Thank you for showing me yet another perspective. I am truly grateful ....
"this kid needs counseling" lol 😂😂
went there for a school field trip a couple years after this was filmed and it’s so crazy how everything looks exactly the same as i remember this is so nostalgic
My father used to work at Intel and when he would bring me there ,I would entertain myself by stealing as my many pencils and pens as I could and following the floor patterns to random locations until I got lost and cry and then someone would bring me back to him.
Super fun place.
Conan seems like the type of guy to get along with anyone
Don’t forget the writers
Another masterpiece. He should be the G.O.A.T of modern comedian Era . Not that anyone is in the challenge so he pretty much is
Having worked at one of the Hillsboro locations, the office experience has drastically improved since this
I miss his show and his visits to other places and countries. He's the best.
Why does intel headquarters look like a Metal Gear Solid map
Because the Konami offices look just as lifeless as Intel's.
5:19 *Snake demonstrates his CQC* 😂😂😂😂😂
The world has been blessed by another Conan clip 💯
6:15 the most excited a tour guide at the Intel offices has ever made ANYONE, let alone a group of second graders 🤣
That was the weirdest handshake I've ever seen at 1:15
I forgot how...enthusiastic female members of his audience could be.
That goddamn jawline
@@LARRY113Z honestly tho. i was trying to guess when was this from, he looked young but i didn't expect he was 44 in this. damn, he doesn't age and looks so damn good!
Is it just me or was that a very strange handshake lol... instead of going up and down they shook in like a sideways oval😂😂
😂 i was looking for this comment
This guy was so lifeless even his handshake was as unenthusiastic as humanly possible
"I'm not a child" 🤣🤣. Sona would have had a field day with that one!😜😂😂
Conan is such a nice guy--and he is so kid-friendly when need be! I'm amazed.
Conan brings happiness and laughter everywhere he goes no matter where it is
Lol ‘this kid needs counselling’ 😂
1:17 That handshake was so weird lol
Conan whipping out a tube of dryer lint was funny af
Every now and then with Conan, I don't laugh I just grin until it hurts
Conan will get their 7nm process going.
i don't think so LOL
SuPeRfIn
only if they dodge the lawsuit and the stock crash that went along with it...
His hands are too big
conan (and the kids) really brought life to that place
"I got large hands... ladies"
the ladies: *screams*
damn, Conan 😆
His wife must've loved that. 😂
i love that Conan with his extrovert personality goes to these nerdy places.
Conan: "So this is a chip, right?"
Staff: "Yes"
Conan:( eats the chip)"Tastes delicious!"
My dad worked at Intel! Love this. I visited the headquarters and also went to the Intel museum :D
This is basically straight out of Office Space, lol. Stuff like this is why I never wanted an office job, even as a kid.
"Intel is the leading chip manufacturer in innovation"
Lololololololol, rip intel
This was filmed in 2009 when Intel was still on top of their game. For reference that's the year Intel made the move to 32nm fabrication, while AMD was still setting up their 45nm design and production. It was also the first time they introduced Integrated Graphics. Props to AMD for coming a long way in just a decade though.
They still were in 2020.
@@helicocktor (Original airdate: 5/4/07) A couple years off, but yeah...
AMD was probably one of the best investments I've made
@@bendejo8 oof my bad. Regardless, imo Intel gets a lot of hate for not innovating the past decade, when they've been pretty much the sole innovator for decades leading up to mobile ARM chips revolution. It's great for us consumers when competition is this healthy. I hope AMD gets to drive down prices further.
@@helicocktor Intel innovated up until they released sandy bridge. After that it was the same products every generation and the only thing changing was the price. Thankfully AMD has finally made Intel wake up and start doing something.
ah conan in his natural environment, among the 2nd graders.
Lol 7:10
This is one of Conan's episodes which aged well.
