Can you tell the difference between Conan O’Brien’s impression of Larry King and his impression of Sarah Palin? Take a close look at the pictures below. Use your mouse to hover over them to find out which is which.
“Shoulda, but didn’t.” – Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel. I say this almost every time somebody says the word “should’ve.” Original context: This quote originates from “The Twisted World of Marge Simpson” where Cletus gets 300 free pretzels thanks to 300 free-pretzel coupons. Marge says, “Hmm… I should’ve put, ‘Limit one per customer’” and Cletus says in his southern tone, “Shoulda, but didn’t.” Example: “I should’ve washed the dog.” “Shoulda, but didn’t.”
“Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is: never try.” – Homer. I use this quote any time I or someone around me fails at something. Original context: This quote is from “Burns’ Heir” when neither Bart or Lisa were chosen as Burns’ heir. Example: “I can’t believe I just got last place in the 100-meter dash.” “The lesson is: never try.”
“Money can be exchanged for goods and services.” – Homer’s Brain. I say this quote every time I go shopping. Original context: Homer wants peanuts but instead finds a twenty dollar bill. His brain explains a simple form of how the economy works.
“I bet I’ll get blamed for this.” – Mayor Quimby. Original context: After Mayor Quimby makes jokes about the French’s resemblance to frogs, they launch a nuclear warhead at Springfield. Seeing the warhead go by his office window, Quimby says this line. Example: I would say this line if I am obviously at fault for something such as knocking an expensive vase onto the floor or deleting the computer’s hard drive.
Jimmy Fallon, new host of Late Night, has already become funnier from his first episode to his fifth. He’s risen to the rank of my second favorite late night show, which isn’t saying much because Conan’s not on right now and the only other host I find funny anymore is Letterman.
Favorite monologue joke: [From Friday, 3/6/09] “A special Beatles version of the video game Rock Band is coming out… You can play as John. You can play as Paul. You can play as George, or Ringo. And it comes with a full warranty in case Yoko shows up. [Liverpudlian accent while miming playing a guitar] Green, green, red, green, red, green, orange.”*
Favorite celebrity interview: [From Friday, 3/6/09] Drew Barrymore.
Favorite comedy bit: [From Monday, 3/2/09] Conan packing up his dressing room.
Favorite host: Jimmy Fallon (not much competition there).
Favorite episode overall: Friday 3/6/09.
* This could actually be the song “Hey Bulldog” (sort of).
