Last night on Conan the show rolled out its much-ballyhooed, crowdsourced “Occupy Conan” episode, an episode constructed entirely from clips created by fans.
It was a monster of a show! A hilariously, entertaining crazy quilt of styles and interpretations including cartoons, claymation, puppetry and pets presenting offbeat versions of Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, Anne Hathaway rapping, and Conan & Andy, of course.
The show features cameos by: Tina Fey, Joel McHale, Nick Offerman, Seth Green, Adam Scott, Fred Armisen, Jack McBrayer, Jesse Tyler Ferguson playing Conan O’Brien and Jim Rash playing Andy Richter. It’s pretty damn great.
While I’m still waiting for Team Coco to send me an embed code, but you can watch the entire episode on the Team Coco website.

Conan is at his best when he’s strange. I remember him doing a claymation episode, an episode where everyone was a puppet skeleton, even one where everyone in the audience was under 12.
that is SUCH bullshit that you tease having the video embedded below when you don’t just to get clicks. pathetic.
Well, if you really must know, I was told by the people at Team Conan around 2 this afternoon that they’d have the video embed for me in “about an hour.” I waited. Then 5 o’clock rolled around I still hadn’t gotten it from them, so I figured I’d put up the post and just direct people who want to watch it to the Team Coco website. I just came home and now here it is 10 and I still don’t have a video embed to insert. I presume they are having technical issues. It happens.
Now, with all of that said, fucking blow me, asshole.
So say so before people have to click through to this page.
I have to say, “fucking blow me, asshole.” absolutely seems like the right response here.
I like that the Dalai Lama is pictured. Who knew buddists could be such raging assholes?
Fucking blow me, asshole INDEED.
So let me get this straight. I just watched the whole episode and remarked to myself how great it is that the internet age has ushered in a world where crowdsourcing such as this has not only become possible, but allowed brilliant, creative people to riff on a guy who had the foresight to make it happen. All warm and fuzzy.
Then I come back here to find a guy bitching about how the embed doesn’t work.
Reality hits hard.
The Complaints Desk at Uproxx is manned by Randal from Clerks.
Seriously guy, go fuck yourself.
Yeesh, I’m not complaining that the embed doesn’t work, that’s completely fine and understandable. I’m complaining that the article implied the video was after the jump and it wasn’t, which gave pageviews it shouldn’t have had and wasted (a small amount of) my time. that the video wasn’t able to be embedded isn’t an issue at all, it’s that it tried to get pageviews for something it didn’t have.
“SUCH bullshit” and “pathetic” were just excessive words in response to a very minor waste of your time. That’s why you’re getting all this heat.
so just click the fucking link to the video on teamcoco and stop being a fucking twat.
Breathe, guys, just breathe…
Was really a great show. I tweeted about it a few times, but saw no other mentions of it on my feed at all. Kinda bummed me out, given how momentous it was. My favorite parts were the entire Ron Burgundy segment (especially the skeleton bit with the great animation, and Offerman’s clips), that Indian (I assume) dude with the super-thick accent, the little robot animation with the applause sign (really hilarious; I wish it had lasted longer), and that scene with the Volkswagen (which I assume was actually submitted by VW, since they were a sponsor).
Oh, also that kid kicking everyone’s ass in the Steven Ho segment, and the little girl in the Anne Hathaway part. Bah, it was all great! Except the fun. part, which was a pretty huge letdown; but I guess the musical aspect of it daunted a lot of would-be contributors.
