'You're Like A Living Pep Boys Logo!!' Triumph The Insult Comic Dog Vs. The Pungent Hippies In Manchester, Tennessee!!

Published at:  Jun 20, 2009 7:47:11 PM CDT

I am – Hercules!!




Triumph The Insult Comic Dog on Friday made his much-anticipated first appearance on “The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien,” which turned out to be roughly four trillion times as funny as any installment of Jaywalking ever.

A piece of the piece:



If you want to see the rest, including Triumph’s interactions with The Beastie Boys and Bruce Springsteen, use the Hulu mechanism below and fast-forward to the 19:06 mark. (But take care not to continue beyond the 22:22 mark, lest you accidentally expose yourself to charisma vacuum Shia LeBeauf, who can make even tales of hanging out with Steven Spielberg soul-crushingly dull.)



Triumph's finest hour, from seven years ago:

    First!

    by indianrenegade

    Shia was indeed terrible on Conan..the guy has the personality of a vaccuum cleaner. In his defense, he might have just been exhausted but yeah, it was a definite fast forward for me.

    Triumph almost always delivers

    by jimmy rabbitte

    but he still hasn't topped the time he went to the Attack of the Clones opening. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen; and that's from a guy who saw AotC at the midnight opening.

    "Charisma Vacuum"? Really?

    by guntermonkey

    I thought Shia seemed upbeat and energetic, considering how exhausted he must be with media interviews...I thought Phil Jackson was much more of a black hole interview, if we must dub someone a charisma vacuum...

    Outrageous!!!

    Shia uses the word "outrageous" almost as much as Miss Fox does all those "uber-"words. I was happy to see Triumph again.

    by cherryvalance

    I've only seen like two of his movies, so I mostly know him from seeing him on talk shows and I think he's been really funny. In fact I love the one time on Letterman when he explained his Walgreens arrest. Who knew pimple cream was such a menace?

    Disturbia. He was very nice. He likes the action movies, and stuff. This was a few months before Transformers came out, and he was already signing pics.

    Or are they just killing off episodes? Because they had a season finale last time they were on I thought? Like a cliff hanger.

    Actually, Conan's ratings are killing Letterman...

    by guntermonkey

    ...in the key demos for 18-34 year olds. NBC doesn't care about the "Heartland" as much as they care about the 18-34 year olds which sell ads for the station. Triumph fits right into that demo, and I'm sure Jeff Zucker is pushing it...

    For Conan's dominant ratings...good for him. I think the network execs are looking for him to be competition for the younger set (i.e. Stewart, Colbert, Kimmel)and are not worried about Letterman anymore.

    SHIA WAS HIGH DURING THIS INTERVIEW

    by underoos hero

    You can see Shia acting coked out of his mind during this interview. And before you argue. Think about it. Show business, check..Crazy Schedule, check...No sleep, check...free drugs, check and double check. He is fucking high as a kite here.

    Now this is puppet comedy - stuff it Kermit

    by feralangel

    That star wars thing nearly made me faint from laughing so hard. And the hippie stuff was classic too. You know what would rock? Triumph doing an interview with the Muppets. Especially with that anemic "nice guy" Kermit. And then he could hump Miss Piggy and chew up those two old dudes - show them how heckling is REALLY done. All of it laced with four-letter-words, of course. Then he could start on ALF. Think of it - all those overhyped over-the-hill hand puppets for Triumph to poop on. The mind reels. In fact, I'm feeling a little faint. Gotta have a lie-down. Later.

    Somebody has loved Shia for years

    by daggor

    Remember all the weird roles he was getting before he became "famous?" Will Smith's plucky pal in "I, Robot?" Bernie Mac's cousin (????) in Charlie's Angels 2? These roles were absolutely unnecessary for the film, yet he's there. Somebody has been championing him for a long time.

    Shia's a great guy.

    by lenny nero

    I worked with him near the butt end of his Even Stevens run, and he couldn't be a better collaborator, at least on a live project.
