Conan O'Brien plays WoW at Blizzcon

[Deleted]

I live in Northern Europe. Again, at least on UPC, sky and so on Conan is shown by (if I remember correctly) channel 135 or something comedy extra or something similar, from like 11 pm.
I haven't seen Conan outside that minor channel.
He's not mentioned anywhere else apart the Internet at times.
I can't remember seeing him anywhere else.
Of course, it might be me not remembering things. Which it's ok since I'm getting old.

To be fair the show hasn't been shown much in a few years anymore but before it was shown on a very popular channel, maby i should specify the country (Finland) and not spread it as wide as norther europe but anyway atleast here hes pretty well known.

"so, do you think it was my fault?"
"Yes, it was you fault".
"Yes, your fault".

Hilarious. Conan playing video games is some of the best entertainment there is, too bad they don't show his show on TV here anymore.

[XDurionX]

I LOVE his "clueless gamer" videos.

P.S.: I´m from germany and i´d say that 90% of the people i know knew Conan. Anecdotal, but the claim that "nobody in europe knows him" is just as baseless.

I hope VGs still keep going over his head. His review on Tomb Raider was classic: it's a game that make you fall in love with La(u)ra Croft, just to torture you with images of her dying over and over again. Priceless.

Western Europeans are the tallest people in the world. Fact.

Idiot. No one cares about your weird logic.

i think he might be a wookie

I was so angry that he commented the Arena games, felt like Blizzard just took the tournament like a joke

I don't think he was there, i watched the stream of blizzcon when it was there, and i didn't see him there, it's made up i think ^^

Or maybe you take them too seriously?

Also, the new orc model animation, how they walk and talk looks nice =) especially with the gear on!

That's it. He really isn't that well known outside the USA.

I dunno, Finland fucking loves him lol

[soulkeeperx]

I liked the "u mad?" part, if only that guy knew who he was talking to...

In europe, Conan o brien is shown on some minor English Channel from about 11 pm SOMETIMES. Anyone outside the British isles (and to be honest most of the people in there) wouldn't know who the fuck he is.

It is very silly to state something like this given that every European language has its own channels. Where I live (Finland) Late Night With Conan O'Brien used to air every night on the most popular channel aimed at young adults and it was one of the most popular shows on TV, though his later shows haven't done that well. It just seems to be rather random whether they import a particular show so in any given country an American talk show host is either completely unknown or a star (eg nobody here has heard of Oprah or Jay Leno but Conan is a star).

Also, most people are too young to remember this (or don't have satellite TV), but back in the 1990s there was a free channel broadcast Europe-wide called NBC Europe which used to have Conan's NBC show. I think that's how he got popular in Finland (sparsely populated country so satellite was the only option to have more channels for most of us).

I'm hoping that guy sees this video and freaks out and they find him and have him on the show so Conan can ask how he is and he can finally answer.

Only takes Conan a couple of minutes of playing wow before he gets into the true spirit of playing wow!

I can't focus on Conan since the new orc looks so awesome.

I hate to say it, but his commentary accurately reflects how 99% of the population, WoW players included, would observe a WoW tournament match. That's why WoW will never be a professional e-sport.

Ah yes the "true" spirit of wow, calling people "dicks", and getting "mad, bro".

Sadly we imagine most of the people talking like that as 7 year old children... when in reality they are all Conan O'Brien. Go figure.

Yes most people who watch sports cannot think much past "HIT GUY OVER HEAD, GRAB BALL, DAMMIT GRAB BALL HARDER, GRRRR YOU NOT GUD AT SPORT, ME ANGRY!!! GRRAAAGHAHHHHAHAHAH" ... Funny you'd think they would identify with orcs more.

The only Conan that interests me is Conan The Barbarian.

I found it pretty funny last night, I was watching Conan & was surprised by it.
