Why would you trust an Irishman?

Conan sounds so angry now, he is a lot less carefree and whimsical

He says this while promoting the ridiculous toxic irony destroying the human psyche right now in everything he does.

>>79910332
He's American. The fuck is it with people from Boston calling themselves irish?

>>79910367
what's sad is he DID become cynical. You can see it in his new show. The novelty wore off and he just doesn't enjoy it as much as he used to. He can't even get through the shitty skits his writers make without looking uninterested.

I am now a #hillshill

I saw a clip of Conan joking about Warren Beatty at the Oscars and it felt weird. Whenever my friend and I talk about Conan we spend time reminiscing about Late Night as if he were dead. His TBS show feels like purgatory and nobody watches it. I'm surprised it and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten the axe yet.

>>79910661
>tfw Conan gets replaced with two reruns of The Big Bang Theory and is forced to a webseries of remotes and maybe another comedy tour

Wouldn't be the end of the world.

>>79910661
He probably has producers begging him to focus on online segments but he can't let go of the talkshow because of pride

>>79910495
This, you see glimmers of the old Conan during his travel specials. Then you watch a normal episode, and it's like another person.

Obscenely rich multimillionaire says people just need to work harder and not complain so much

>>79910298
it's not clear that he understands what cynicism is from this quotation

He really jumped the shark last year with the elections. Always liked him, now he's another libtard shill in full mode. Rip

>>79911060
He still worked jobs in high school and busted his ass in college. Then he worked hard as a writer and nobody cares how rich you are if you can't write

Cynics are made not born, and the alledged increase of it amongst the youth of today only solidifies how fucking sick we are of bullshit. He wants people to be more positive? fair enough. But suggesting cynics are bad for the world is ridiculous.

You want people to be optimistic? Give them something worth being hopeful for.

>>79910467

But cynicism cannot just be cruise control for cool.

>>79911773
and? one person who had connections worked hard and was successful. are you telling me that some guy born to a meth head in georgia is going to make it if he works hard? conan was dealt all the cards and made it work. telling everyone that amazing things will happen if you work really hard is meaningless bullshit that rich people say to defend the fact that they had all the breaks. class mobility does not exist

>>79912441
You're right man. The game is rigged against you, rich people all got lucky, poor people have no shot whatever they do, nobody born poor ever got rich, nobody rich ever got poor, it's not your fault, nothing depends on you, if you're poor you might as well take the .45 retirement plan.

If everyone is cynical, no one will ever give anyone anything to be hopeful for, you retarded fuckface.

He's saying that being cynical doesn't accomplish anything and it doesn't, really. All it does is make you miserable, make you second-guess every would-be friend and look for how everything you experience can break down.
>cynics are made, not born
That's kind of his point, you fucking monkey. If the world can turn you into a cynic, you can turn yourself back into an optimist with a bit of willpower.

Take a protip from a 31 year old idiot that sabotaged most of his life with edgy cynical phases: if you're cynical about people, you will sabotage every relationship you will ever have. You will always end up being miserable.

I think his thesis was some retarded wank. Such a meme.

>>79913764

>>79913854
Not that guy but Jared kushner who is trump's son in law got into Harvard coz his dad made a 2.5 million donation. And he graduated cum laude coz Harvard has grade inflation. It's actually publicly known and even on Wikipedia page.

Look I get Conan obviously worked hard etc. But the point I think that guy is trying to make is saying hard work and a being kind ALONE gives you success is dishonest as hell. There are many other factors and sadly many of them including family connections are things you cannot control. This is what they really mean by privileged.

>>79914019
He never said those things alone do it.

>>79914019
conan probably didnt buy his way in given he was a poorfag irishmen from boston

ive heard conan say a tonne of times luck is the biggest thing, but thats outside your control, so just be kind and work hard which you can actually control

>>79910495

You clearly just started watching his show. He's ALWAYS done that kind of reaction to shitty skits. It's one of his common jokes that carried over from the Late Show.

He loved ripping into his writers especially during his opening monologue.

>>79911024

The fact he willingly shared that frustrated side of himself to the public says something, anon.

And even then, do you really blame him for being stressed out after that whole NBC fiasco and him dealing with the touring situation which was a new experience for him?

>>79913834
here we go with the 'just start your own business brah' bullshit, capitalist ideology would have you work every day producing dog food to make a dollar thinking you're sure to become a millionaire until all your life is work and you can't even see how miserable you are, like a rat on a running wheel.

>I think that guy is trying to make is saying hard work and a being kind ALONE gives you success is dishonest as hell

He's implying that it puts you in a better position than bring cynical. It's not the only two things you need. Conan has repeatedly stated he was very lucky to get where he is now.

>>79914189
whats the chance she had made partner by the time conan was 18?

he just happened to be best in history and win a national writing competition but hes dumb and had to buy his way in too?

>>79914189
Sure, he was born to a well-to-do family but does he ever go around bragging about Harvard? I don't think I've ever heard him mention it unless someone else brings it up, and then he does his best to play it off and demean himself.

He also worked hard as fuck. He was a literally who SNL writer who somehow convinced NBC to give him the timeslot after the Tonight Show. That alone is a monumental accomplishment, not to mention being able to hold onto it for so long.

Conan has never struck me as anything but a great guy and if you feel the need to try and disparage all he's done just because you don't agree with one or two politically charged things he's said in a very, very long fucking career, then you're a fucking child.

>>79914159

I like you but you're missing something really fundamental.

She made partner when Conan was 15.

https://www.ropesgray.com/biographies/o/ruth-obrien.aspx

Conan put in effort to get where he is. But is it that hard to admit he had a HUGE advantage? I mean leaving money aside, how many of us have a dad who is a professor at Harvard and a mom who's partner of a top law firm? His parents actually demonstrate possibly greater intellect than him.

>>79914686
He is desperately missing good writers

>>79914686
hes really smart so he depression would be some exisential thing that cant be solved

i think its because he chose a life to make all people happy, but then he realised that all people arent good, so he makes awful people happy

*steps out of the shadows*

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable material...

But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member of the Ruseman's Corps? Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme.

And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest shitpost copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :^). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some shit that a million different Johnny No-Names will attach a milion different captions to. Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive.

See you on the boards...
