The deceased father part got me. Conan has the most contagious laughter.

“Why not dig a trench? Then the ball will be as low as you seem to wish it to be!”

The delivery gets me every time

I remember seeing this in my dorm room. I was hooked on Conan for life after seeing it. He is the funniest unscripted off-the-cuff comedian there is, and after years of great remote segments this is still one of my favorites.

The remotes are always great. But one of my favorite underrated short skits is the homophobic Chick-fil-A chicken. And also, one of the more recent ones, Andy's inappropriate Wheel of Fortune appearances.

Someone catch that sphere!

Oh this is great, but I think the Korean Spa just edges it out for me.

His off the cuffs while getting the scrub are amazing.

I have a crush on the shy girl to this very day!

One of the best Conan skits ever. This, the Civil War skit, Wii Spa are probably my top 3. Conan is ridiculously talented inside the studio, but to me, he's a Legend because of his remotes.
