I do this too but only sometimes. No one gets it and I'm standing there laughing like s total idiot lol 🤣 It does get old though, i live close enough to see regular planes fly every few hours and live blocks away from a military base, helicopters and all types of planes on a daily.
On my college baseball team, we used to quote lines from this all the time like "why not dig a trench so the ball can be as low as you seem to wish it to be" and "Corncob, more to the left" etc. Holy F, this is funny.
that's genius, I so would've joined a baseball team just so I could use his phrases, freakin hilarious how he's just skipping and lunging around and everyone's serious and in character lmfaooo
@@DontrelleRoosevelt He probably likes anime. If someone goes out of their way to use the term cosplay for putting on a costume, you know what they're into...
It is pretty funny that most of all technology or things that people didn't believe in the 19th century, would just chalk it up to being evil! Which ironically isn't that far from the truth today! 😄
6:35 "What is that demonry! Everyone flee!" I think that was definitely top 5 funniest moments on tv, for me. The fact most of if not all of it was unscripted... What a legend.
That one woman. Her story was kind of insane and incredible. Good for her for going all in with her character, talking out her father that died and her husband off in the war. She really put in some work.
@@dickbiggerjr3613 Actually, it varied by team and league. The major leagues weren't major at the time (the National League didn't start until 1876; the American League not until the 20th century), so there were all kinds of small clubs playing in local leagues. Moses Fleetwood Walker played pro ball in the 1880s (for Toledo), so it wasn't unheard of even at the highest levels. It just didn't last long, because teams that had African Americans, much less African American teams found it difficult to get white players willing to play against them -- cuz they might lose. (They really should do something to note Cap Anson's disgrace in Cooperstown.)
I saw this live when I was 14, and this is still one of the Conan sketches that sticks in my mind the most. Think it was a formative memory or something. I love seeing what he's doing these days with the longform interviews. He's always been my favorite late night host, just couldn't articulate why. He's definitely the best interviewer, and puts everything he has into his remotes. Fucking legend.
This was one of the first times I ever saw Conan. My house was all about Jay Leno and I was the only one who stayed up to watch Conan. There was something strangely comforting about seeing someone who has the same off-beat and silly humor as me. I watched faithfully until he went to cable. His was the only TV show I ever really got excited to watch. (anything else was "just cuz it's on") I am so grateful that he's still in show business championing oddball humor and finding those golden moments where silly and witty collide.
I saw this bit when it first aired and I was 17. I’ve seen it at least 10 times in the intervening 16 years. It never fails to make me laugh, and it’s become for me what classic Bob Hope or Sid Caesar bits were for my grandparents and SCTV and original cast SNL bits were for my parents. The height of comedy is always the smartest stuff you were into in high school and the surrounding years. I’m pretty lucky classic Conan was among those for me.
I was in 8th grade and decided to stay up late, for some reason, and watch TV... I flipped through the channels and saw this weird dude with big red hair and never looked back. He introduced me to comedy. This remote, I'll never forget when I saw it on NBC. Conan forever. I've been in his audience 4 times. Coco always!
When he gets in character he's like Jedediah Longtree's cousin. Conan or NBC HAS to release the unedited footage, this is the best skit he's ever done.
i think she could be a oscar winning actress! she got great charisma, she is in one scene with conan and she owns it without even saying anything or much!
Conan interacting with the regular people and making a comedy out of it is the best, whether it be his staff or an average person on the street or out in the world.
I still cannot believe she said she basically came up with that character on that day and it ended up being a significant portion of her character for the remainder of the time she spent at this performance camp or whatever it was.
You really have to admire Conan's talent and dedication. It started as an interview in normal Conan-character, but then he was hurling ancient insults and not that bad at baseball too.
Hear "Late Night" writer Kevin Dorff explain how a newspaper clipping inspired Conan to play old timey baseball. Plus, hear from Nell Del Giudice, the scene-stealing colonial wife from this remote @ listen.teamcoco.com/oldtimey #InsideConan
@@juanvilchez6978 Thats what I was thinking also, as they would have viewed their slaves in the same light they viewed their plow horse. so that would have been like saying "I'm a horse owner" instead of saying "I'm a farmer"
NO!!!! This was in the North -- in 1864 they were fighting AGAINST the slave owners. That was the whole point of that war. History, people, history.... It would be like calling an English farmer a Nazi during WW2.
@@AlexaPanda Technically you are correct, but according to the National Park Service by 1860 still 40% of Northern jobs were in agriculture. That's a lot of farming. But all of this is beside the point: calling Northern farmers "slave owners" is factually inaccurate -- and offensive, even if meant as a joke. Tens of thousands of Northerners died fighting against the very idea of slave ownership. Link: www.nps.gov/resources/story.htm%3Fid%3D251
I played Old time Base Ball (yes, it IS two words) for 20 years . It was NOT a waste of time.... tremendous amount of fun and met SO MANY good people. If you are a player , umpire , equipment manufacturer or even a crank (fan) , GO SEE and support this wonderful game.
