Late Night with Conan O'Brien - The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog [DVD]

N/A

Unlike the few remaining people who have not warmed to Conan O'Brien, I have found him to be the most innovative and consistently amusing host on late night television from the beginning of his network run. This show is a 90 minute special taped in New York on the occasion of his tenth anniversary show, and features many guests and "greatest hits" clips from the first ten years. I was particularly amused by the Andy Richter cameo and the fitting tribute to Conan of having John Tesh, Abe Vigoda, and William Shatner ride a bicycle built for three across the stage. I am unsure why that was a fitting tribute, but in context it certainly surprised and amused the audience. (Shatner also pleases the crowd to no end when he forgets the name "Captain Kirk" during a memory lapse, only to be goaded by Conan.) There is a disturbing, yet hilarious bit by Will Ferrell, which will haunt your memory for a very long time after viewing. The only real negatives were sketches featuring Jack Black and Ben Stiller both of whom took up valuable time and were even less funny than usual.The DVD has several extras, including outtakes, behind the scenes views, and particularly amusing (and lengthy) comedy pieces. I was especially fond of the trip to Ireland sequence, and the sketch in which Conan starts his own boy band.Conan was a bit nervous when he started, but is now a potent comedic force to be reckoned with. This DVD is worth numerous repeat viewings. I recommend this to any fan of Conan, or for that matter anyone with a sense of humor.

I do not remember the last time I laughed as much as I did in watching this DVD."Discovered" by Conan O'Brien in 1997 in a dog's contest (Westminter's), Triumph the Insult Comic Dog has made a "career" featured by:- His uncanny ability to "say it as it is" (for example: making fun of the nerds on line for days to watch the release of a Star Wars movie, or making fun of American Idol contestants, or of Pauley Shore, John Tesh, William Shatner ....)- His restless and unbounded "sexual drive"This DVD has a lot of content. Perhaps the most relevant is:- The "main" part, which includes many Triumph "specials" in which he was sent as a correspondent of Conan's show to describe events such as: a Jon Bon Jovi concert in New Jersey, the Westminster dog contest, American Idol, Hollywood Squares, the MTV Video awards, etc.- Live appearances of Triumph on Late Night. Here you will find classical Triumph material with William Shatner, Tom Arnold, etc.This is edgy comedy that is not suited for everybody. But if you have enjoyed watching Triumph's appearances on Late Night, get this DVD. It is more than worth it.

This is what has been said before. IT's funny. Just damned funny. Buy it. you will cherish it like a newfound nudie magazine when you were 13.I saw this DVD over at a freinds house after spending 2 years in europe not knowing what Triumph was. After 10 minutes of watching this DVD I could not live without it. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath!!! The very next day I woke up with a mission in life, and that mission was to go buy this DVD. That was it.Then the next night I invited all of may family over to my grandparents house to watch it on the big screen, and EVERYONE could not stop laughing. I mean we had kids, uncles, Grandparents and neighbors watching this thing and EVERYONE was rolling on the floor. Ahhhh... Just buy it. It's better than sex.

This DVD delivers much more than you may expect. The actual feature is about an hour long, but there are hours of bonus footage, including clips from the Conan O'Brien show where Triumph is hurling insults at deserving celebrity targets.This DVD covers Triumph's correspondent trips to a few Westminster Dog Shows, the opening of a Star Wars movie, American Idol tryouts, the MTV Video Music Award and more.My personal favorite is the Star Wars opening. The stinging insults Triumph dishes out on this particular occassion are insanely funny - and he even enlists the help of Dr. Spock to come in and finish the job. This should not be missed... Seriously!This is a great deal. You basically get all of Truimph's appearances together in a single DVD. Awesome!

On a whim, I saw the DVD "The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog." I rarely watch the Triumph segments on Conan due to the lateness of the show, but my goodness--I ought to watch more. Triumph and his puppetier Robert Smigel bring the Borscht Circuit to a new generation, with a Slovac-accented dog hurling insults at everything from Bon Jovi fans (and Bon Jovi), Star Wars fans, residents of Quebec City, American Idle wannabees, Honolulu TV anchors, and Tom Arnold (truly well deserved).The jokes come a mile a minute, and are unbelivably funny. Smigel has never been better than with Triumph. I thought my heart was going to stop, from laughing so hard. If you like Conan's style of humor, and appreciate the insult comedies of the Simpsons and Family Guy, you'll love this DVD.

Scatalogical "humor" and often hard to hear, understand what Triumph is grossing about. Laughed hard and I guess it is some type of meta-humor or pathological ideal being expressed about "privilege" when an English language audio/visual product is produced with cc but w/o English subtitles. I feel so "privileged" with my hearing deficit... not!

Buying this DVD was stretch for me, This is one of the funniest DVD I have seen lately! I'm not a huge fan of main stream tv, and really hesitated before buying this DVD. I did not make a mistake buying this DVD, It was one of the funniest laugh out loud, crack me up's that I have come across. I am neither young,nor a prude,and not a fan of the very crude, I only covered my eyes up once. This DVD was so wrong, that it is great. A dog, an insult comic? I know, I know, but after watching just a few minutes, we were laughing our selves sick. Its intelligent, its on the line, It is crude and rude, its unbelievable shocking, and like I said so very very wrong! Make no mistake it's not for kids, buy it, and enjoy!

A thin, circular slice of comedic genius. Wish there was more of available on dvd or bluray.

this DVD is easily one of the funniest things i have ever watched , my ribs were actually aching afterwards, especially the 'Attack of the Nerds' episode . I can't wait for any future releases and I am deeply envious of American viewers of 'Late Night with Conan O' Brien' as we don't get this in the UK. There are plenty of extras on this DVD , about 90 minutes , which makes this excellent value for money.

I had high expectations about this DVD since i am a fan of Conan's. But unfortunately my DVD player can not read the DVD. So i have to play it in my laptop that seems to read anything in order to enjoy it.

Crude, yet witty humour at times. Never laughed so hard before discovering Triumph on the Conan O'Brien show when it came to Toronto for a week. Plenty of great performances.

I wish there was a DVD/Blueray that had EVERY single triumph television appearance. Alas, it is impossible. This will do.
