yeah, that's not exactly something new. So he picked on a few Star Wars fans, wow, thats orginal. I think he's a shitty comedian who takes the easy shots every time.

It's crappy that sci-fi fans get picked on but that's the way it goes. Those fans ought to have know something like that could happen.

Oh, lighten up. It's funny.

And for the record, this video was made FOR Conan O'Brien, not by him. Robert Smigel and the other people responsible for Triumph the Dog made this video.

Quite right, not new, but SO funny!

The huge Yankees nerd, the Stromtrooper talking like a sixties robot, the total lack of estrogen in the crowd, Stratego!, Gandalf, the dancing of clowns to the movie, and ST ~Spock giving the finger.

I'm tired of the To-Poop-on joke, as is everyone, but his coverage of the dog show, too funny.

You have to admit that to regular folk, if you live in these extremes of sci-fi, you look really bad. Nerds always have. That's why it's up to the jocks to pick on nerds. Nerds will always make fun of dumb jocks and so on...

I agree with you Stormbringer on this point, however, it was just a joke. We should be able to laugh at ourselves and not take things too personally.

Very old news here as well, infact eight week old news

OAN the movie of course should have gone a few citys over as I remeber when AOTC came out I knew a certian squad of Marines that decided to go as stormys and belive me the video would have been quite diffrent if they had gone to that theater(The Platoon CO got around twenty marines to show up with him dressed as the Stormy Commander and let me tell you it was a site to see real troops pretending to be Sci-Fi ones and doing a damably good impression

)

What would be real funny is if they got a bunch of real Sterling submachine guns, vis modded them in the same ways the ones used to make the E-11's where and had live ammunition, then ran through some training missions..

Only 8 weeks old? I saw this a long time ago, in a house about a block from my place. And yes, you have to laugh at yourself. Just like you laugh at the car enthuasist who owns a Porsche 944.

That would be rad and certainly weird to see a whole platoon of real soldiers dressed as Stormies marching along to see a movie. And they have to fight a bunch of those rebel scum to get in.

It wasn't my intention to insult anyone. I just thought the video clip was amusing.
