I missed it. Oh well, how long was it, like 30 seconds?

The best parts of Conan's 'appearance' on "Futurama":
- The giant pompadour.
- "Play me over, Max!" Max is a skull. "Oh, no, they forgot to feed
Max!"
- Bender heckles Conan, Conan shoots back, "Well, I have some things
you'll never have, Like a soul!" Bender, "Big deal." Conan, "And
freckles." Bender appears forlorn, he mouth quivers and it looks like
be could start.

I caught it, I totally forgot it was to be on I don't usually watch
Futurama... He (well, his heid) was only on for aboot 30 seconds. He was
doing some stand-up comedy from his jar.... He made a joke (good enough to
forget) and then said 'Right Max?' then they panned to a shot of Max
Weinberg's skull in a jar "Somebody forgot to feed Max's head." That was
aboot it, no one in the cast of characters really found it funny.... Conan
looks cute as a cartoon head though... he should have been on longer.

But he upset Bender. How evil. :(

... and I'm sure the gratuitious payment for the Springstien gig would
keep him fed well into the year 3000. O_O

Bender is the best thing about the whole show. I think that
Pimpbot should have a cameo.

I thought those FUTURAMA punks had a pretty cocky attitude for a bunch
of animated cartoons.When Tony Curtis and Ann Margeret were on THE
FLINTSTONES Fred and Barney treated em with a little goddam respect. And
I thought they laid that politically correct "Xmas" crap on a little
thick. Fred and Barney were so unP.C. that when they did a show with
Santa it was "Christmas" and they were B.C.! But that Bender is
allright.

Not just his legs but his "freakishly long" legs!

It's a fan group, and fans tend to be enthusiastic. What's wrong with
that?

Good gravy, man, you have a website to maintain! There's no time to be
keeping score and ruthlessly baiting fluffy, happy, and only occasionally
obscene afcobers!

At any rate, nice page, cute kids, great life, don't get what you're so
irritated with that you took the time to post a dozen (or so, I didn't
count 'em) sarcastic gibes directed at a single person. What, you want his

Gotta work on that.

kinda cute!

Yes. But I doan want any of those bills with the exploding red dye. I

Ya think? You don't think I went a tad overkill, do you? I do so hate to
appear as though I have something VERY IMPORTANT to add to every single
post you know :-)

Not by me you won't.

Well.... I had my fun! Happy holidays to you and yours, and everyone

Why are you here? Do you like silly comedy? (Benny Hill, 3rd Rock, Mommy
Python, etc?) Do you have a crush on Conan? What? Or do you just want
to be another silly know-it-all drummed off the group? We have our know-
it-alls and they rock for our purposes. For the main part, they aren't
pretentious poops. You come here and nuke a new (for what we know, maybe
not) poster who actually posts thoughtful and revealing stuff, with your
talentless gibes and "you suck" posts (thoughtfully quoting the entire
thing with a two-word lame rejoinder). Your website makes the artful
appearance that you have a good life but apparently that is fuck-fuck-
fuckity bullshit!

Prove me wrong, Lynn.

Yes, Conan appeared right at the beginning. Here's a transcript I tried to
write:

(At the Catskills Lodge)
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, Conan O'Brien's head!
(show's Conan's head in a jar of water, with a tie around the jar)
Audience: Yea! Whoo! Conannnn!
Conan: Thank you! Thank you! Let's get started. Max, play me over.
(cuts to Max's skull floating in a jar of water next to a drum set)
Conan: (yells) AH! Looks like someone forgot to feed Max.
(Bender in audience starts cracking up, spitting out his drink)
Conan: So! People are getting pretty worried about this Y2K problem,
huh?
Bender: No! They fixed that 900 years ago.
Conan: Just bare with me, sir. Anyway, I'm walking to work this
morning...
Bender: I get it!
Conan: Look, pal, I may have lost my freakishly long legs in the war of
2012, but I've still got something you'll never have - a soul!
(Bender shrugs)
Conan: ...and freakles!
(Bender starts crying)
Conan: Well, I'm outta material. Uh, you can catch me next week at the
Adramida Chuckle Hut. Enjoy your breakfast!
(Applause, guy comes out and takes jar away)
(Bender walks out of the Lodge with friends)
Bender: Let's face it. Comedy's a dead art form. Now tragedy, haha,
that's funny.
Person: Comon everyone. Perhaps some skiing will help us forget the
morally old antics of Conan O'Brien.
Person: Good idea! Our only hope.

I missed the show completely, thanks for the transcript, Kamunk8! You have
performed a true public service that no virtual glory hole could equal (no
insult to actual glory holers intended). I give you the late Quarter
December 1999 AFCOB Philanthropy Award from the Dynasty of Derwoods for
that transcript. I hate it when I miss Futurama!

Thanks again, good stuff.

Best, Lynn
