"The crowd didn’t seem to know how to react to the joke"
Hmm I wonder why...
Sadly, neither Andrew nor Mandelsson were arrested on charges related to paedophilia or anything sex-related, but rather for improper handling of information.
Its also an offense thats very hard to get enough proof that the CPS will take it forward for actual prosecution. While I am not saying it wont go to court for certain, if you had to pick an offense that was performative bollox, this would be a great one.
I doubt anyone found that very shocking. It's not like he was speaking to a bunch of stupid redcaps.
That was a good line, I also liked "Welcome back to the Tiny Penis Theater... let's see him put his name in front of that..."
But he's the guy who's gonna expose the deep state! He super promised us.
Stupid people believe this asshole. Like my dumbass mother who voter for him three times. I no longer speak with her. Fuck everyone who voted for that piece of shit because they believed the harm wouldn't affect them personally.
Wow, you really hate Conan.
Think they got confused by the orange.
I too got confused by the bad pronoun reference. It took me a second to realize that, no, he's on about trump.
Actors were waiting for instructions from their PR team on how to react.

Not sure what the article is talking about, they applauded more and faster for that than other jokes, and it doesn't look like it was due to editing. And they misquoted him.
Almost like they're trying to manipulate public sentiment and perception by.....lying about reality.
MSM is bought and owned by Conservatives
This article sucks, just watch the video of it.
The president has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has characterized efforts to release the full files as a "hoax." He has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing, and an appearance in the Epstein files does not suggest otherwise.
The fuck he hasn't. He hasn't been indicted for criminal wrong doing related to the files, but he's a felon and he most certainly has been accused in the files.
At this point I’d be surprised if he didn’t rape kids.
He has the entire executive branch of the US govt running cover for this. He fucking started a war partially to get the news cycle off Epstein. A war that no one wanted that they have already fucked up.
I don’t care if he’s convicted or whatever other legal term you want to throw on it. Trump is a pedophile.
Agreed. On top of everything else, there simply couldn't be a way to act more guilty than he has acted.
Oh, the war in Iran has been a goal of project 2025 ilk for a while. It just happens to get two birds with one stone.
All the people freaking out over him molesting kids really makes me wonder where you guys were about ten years ago when he was bragging about molesting kids, raping women, wanting to pimp his daughter, wanting to fuck his daughter, when he led the party of projection against the "pedophile left", when he was caught during the Moscow tower incident where it was revealed that he is owned by Russia, during the Panama papers, when he bragged about watching girls at a beauty pageant change clothing, or when he brought a bald eagle into the white house and it attacked him.
The Epstein files being revealed was a net negative imo. No consequences are going to come from it, so it's not like any good was done. It's just another case of the rich actively showing us they can literally rape and murder our children and we'll still cater to them. If they did release the Epstein files, and Trump's name was front and center with him balls deep in a toddler shooting a minority, what do you think would happen? Would people riot? Would people try and assassinate him? As far as I can tell, the only people who might try something are psychotic right wingers, and if the future of this country rests on their shoulders then we're better off with trump.
Growing up they tried to instill American pride and nationalism in me, just like everyone else. They said Americans fight for freedom and justice. Turns out, there's not a single back bone in the entire US, ignoring the one guy who's spine broke so he decided to actually do something about the problem because it was personal for him. Not dissing Luigi, but he didn't do anything significant before it became a problem for him personally. Humans just aren't wired to be good people.
That's bullshit. People are plenty wired to do good. It's power that corrupts. And it also corrupts the system, which corrupts even more people. You can say that people are easily corrupted, but that's also not fair to say in a corrupt system.
People aren't wired to be vigilantes. The last time a goalpost travelled that far they were building Stonehenge.
They’re responding to the last sentence, which literally says that humans aren’t wired to be good people.
At this point? What the fuck? How about 8 years ago?
I'm not British, is the independent a fucking trash rag?
It's not that bad. It means he hasn't been charged, and context makes it clear that the sentence is about the Epstein files, not anything else. It's possible to read it and understanding something false, but virtually no-one is ever going to do that.
If Trump didn’t fuck kids why won’t they release the files with his name in them?
We asked 100 people, "If Trump didn’t fuck kids why won’t they release the files with his name in them?"
You said: "Because he did fuck kids."
I wouldn't call the crowd shocked so much as left wanting. Conan was doing his regular humor, but holy cow did those jokes of his just thud in that crowd, which was a pretty big loss since (imo) the intro bit with him in Aunt Gladys drag was hilarious.
But between the humor not working and TERRIBLE mic work, the technicals on this show were not there.
I loved the expanded in memorium section tho.
I only watched the opening monologue but thought it was pretty funny, especially for the Oscars. I chuckled a few times, which is more than I can say for the few previous times I've attempted to actually watch the Oscars.
I thought it was funny when he joked about Sean Penn getting an erection at gun point and Paul Thomas Anderson deciding they should keep that in the movie. Sean Penn not seeming to find that very funny made it really funny.
I just think it's insane/sad that we're living in a world where literally just mentioning the crimes of your pedophiliac authoritarian dictator and his pedo oligarchs can be considered "shocking."
Like if this was happening at any other time in history that would be a throw away line on even the most tame late night talk show. But we can't even live in a world where we acknowledge reality right now bc Trump will just sick his dollar store Charlie Brown on anyone that hurts his fee fees.
Do you remember how often and for how long we heard jokes about Clinton getting a BJ from every late night host on network TV? Yet even mentioning the elites at Club Ped (without even naming any of them) is somehow pushing the limit?
I was just telling my husband my very first memory of Conan O'Brien on TV was watching one of his "In the year 2000" sketches. The line was "DNA analysis will reveal the stain on Monica Lewinsky's dress to be mustard... From Bill Clinton's Penis!!!"
Still think of that scene to this day every time I eat mustard.
I suspect Russia must have been beaming microwaves at the microphone.
Oh shit! How could he say something so edgy and controversial?
Of course the audience was stunned. It must have been quite the shock to the senses. Having an ice cold glass of, literally just facts, splashed into the face of America.
I bet Brenden Carr is so pissed he can't travel back in time and cancel the Tonight Show when it was still funny.
The article isn’t even accurate. The audience wasn’t “stunned”. They cheered and applauded louder for the Epstein joke than any of the jokes before or after.
Lol, nobody watching the Oscar’s was “schocked” by somebody joking about Trump and Epstein. It’s literally the core audience for those jokes.
'I know He is your friend'
Ricky GervisThat's our Consie
Does anyone have a link where we can watch the full Oscars online? (not live)
