ABOUT LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O’BRIEN

The Foot Fist Way is one of the more underrated comedies IMO
Meditate on that 😂
You exude feminine qualities
Listen to that confused laughter. I think a majority of the audience really thought Danny McBride was a failed karate instructor and the comedy was unintentional.
Beautiful observation from a winner.
True. He was basically an unknown at that time lol
Today, it's obviously a comedy bit, but at the time, I watched it and was completely convinced he was a Tae Kwon Do instructor.
Not karate, Tae Kwan do. Karate sucks
they obviously said ‘taekwon-do’ ughhhh 💀💀
Danny is so underated, his tv show Eastbound & Down and his movies are pure comedy 😁👌 One of the funniest. Respect To this guy
ANYTHING he makes is GOLD!!!!
@suomi91 listen to beyond insemination from GTA V. I was shook when I found out it was Danny McBride
This comment is *underrated*
Not sure how he is underrated when he has 3 hit HBO series and is widely praised...
Your Highness 😊
"It's a Mecca for my business, that I run" 😂😂😂
THE FOOT FIST WAY is such an underrated comedy. So fucking funny
I love the genius that is Fred Simmons. Straight forward but ALWAYS acting. Love it.
Andy Kaufman is smiling from the great beyond
i watched this live from my dorm room and was as confused as i was excited by the chaos and crowd reaction
little did i know i was watching the guy who would build a comedic empire and go on to make me laugh harder than anyone on the planet
Master Ken is better
Danny McBride is a genius of comic delivery. He did a great job playing his roles in "Land of the Lost" and "30 Minutes or Less". No one could have done a better job in those roles.
I love both of those movies
30 min or less was good but land of the lost was a plate of hot shit
He was GREAT in 'Principals'.
@@mikehamelin7520wrong on both accounts
Will Ferrell, Rashida Jones and Danny McBride on the same episode. The good old days.
Finally! I remember seeing this as a kid, assumed it was fake but wasn’t sure, and then eventually saw he became a well known actor and have wanted to see this clip again.
I didn’t know who Danny Mcbride was at the time. I watched this during the original airing. I thought it was a real crazy ass dude at the time.
Getting Will to have to hide his laugh is such a badge of honor when you're just breaking through. Danny rocks
Will Ferrel was one of the producers i think for that movie.
You know Will and Conan are dying inside cuz this is hilarious and the audience doesn't quite get it.
You can't be sure of that because they don't really laugh at other's jokes, they're always thinking of the next bit to one up
I hope so. I like Conan and Ferrell, but I like McBride a little more and I was thinking they were respectful to keep straight faces as not to blow his satire cover, but at the same time it was hard to tell if the same respect went all around.
Either way the McBride bit was funny to me and despite seeming uncomfortable, he knocked it out of the park.
@@vb8428 you can see will scratch his chin while trying not to break. They both know laughing would spoil the bit.
@@vb8428laughter is involuntary so sometimes they have to stifle it a bit - there's no thinking going on to "one up" - Will had one line, so he's not thinking about one-upping anybody. Also people break on SNL all the time even though they have lines themselves - because laughter is involuntary.
@@CHUCKSCHUMACHER There was no one "uncomfortable" on that stage, I'll assure you, lol. That was the act.
When the camera is on Danny, seeing rashida’s sleeve shake in the background when she’s laughing is itself hilarious 😂😂
Danny a LEGEND, King of HBO BABY
The look on Jody Hill’s face 😂
He’s so serious lol love him as Levi
I remember watching it when it aired and I thought it was real.
Same! This was the first time I'd ever seen or heard of him.
Same here!
Oh finally a bit I haven’t seen! And it has Danny McBride in it
Foot Fist Way was actually very funny. RIP Chuck the truck.
I remembered watching this on TV when it aired, I couldn't stop laughing and rolling on the floor.... And then I looked up the website....
This demo works. He is the king of the demo.
-red.
Jesus… what a loser.
Jody Hill in the demonstration 😂
Thank you!
@@pedxing He's in the movie, too. Plays a "silent badass" type.
Dannys Right hand man, can't have one without the other lol Righteous gemstones
@@artandchill2480 Yeah, exactly. His name is Levi in Gemstones, right?
@@sigmarine yes lol
A forgotten gem. Give Danny more roles
What about a Righteous Gem-Stone?
It's impossible for Danny to say a line and it not be funny. 😄
@@sigmarine interesting how many people in the comments section apparently don’t know that he’s had back to back to back successful movies and shows that he is starring in writing and producing.
@@Treeezzz Well, they know now
unfortunately comedy isnt allowed in comedy movies anymore so there would be no point
One of them had to have pissed themselves at least a tiny bit holding in their laughter sitting up their with Danny as they held their composure 😅😂😂😂
Didn't realize the blond ponytail dude is Jody Hill, Danny's writing partner who also plays Levi (church guitar player) in Righteous Gemstones.
Who is a legit 5th degree black belt.
2:46 will breaking lol
I remember watching this when it aired.
When did it air?
@@allibakertattoo 2/26/08
@@middleschoolgravy damn… long ass time ago. But I never can actually tell his age. Maybe he wears lots of makeup? Now you say this, I see. He is more alive and bright eyed and bushy tailed. Versus his deadpan man face.
@@allibakertattoo FYI usually 99% of the time the original air date in these videos is in the description, just a future heads-up
Me too
The music is what makes it.
Hilarious movie. The flasher from Observe and Report was in it. I wish he was here.
I remember watching this when it first aired, confused as to whether it's schtick or dude's a legit loser... either way I couldn't stop laughing
My shock as an actual TKD instructor when the two kids started doing Yul Guk! So funny!
The draven! 😂
whoa he looks so much like danny mcbride
Will Ferrell and Danny Mcbride, what a night!
On the CZcams search bar type. The foot fist way- is she still alive… one of the funniest movie scenes I’ve ever seen!
Loved this movie, its brings back the early 2000 feels.
A big Display of Power😂😂😂 this is where I break cement with my elbow😂😂
This seemed legit at the time! No one knew who Danny was. They played it perfectly!😊
Haha
Will Ferrel trying not to laugh was classic
Happening in every strip mall in America 😂🎉 enemies beware
I remember watching this live.... really stoned.....and I'll be honest, it got me for a minute. Brilliant
I want to see Fred Simmons fight Master Ken in the Hexagon!
Unfortunately, I saw Hot Rod before I saw this. So, I knew who he was.
Nonetheless, hilarious.
Arizona was a surprisingly entertaining film with him as a maniacal killer
I remember when this first aired, TWoP was so furious. One of them even mentioned that the kid couldn't be a black belt because it takes years to be one.
This is gold
The Marge fight is hilarious!
He's like if your funny neighbor made an action movie 😂
Fred looks a lot like Brian Dundee from "Tourism Australia: Dundee - The Son of a Legend Returns Home"
Awwww more Bullsheeto artist. Love it.😊
Actually a massively underrated film
One of my favorite actors.
Danny’s and one of my favorite guys of all time, he and Will Ferrell produced so much stuff together. It’s funny how people don’t know they know each other and yet he busts on Will. “Eastbound and down”, baby you need to watch it, nonstop laughter absolutely insane
You can just talk to me or whatever you want to do😂😂😂
loaded lineup
That was…AWESOME!
Anyone that took martial arts in the 90s can't help but laugh at this. 😅
Watching Ferrel almost break character 😂
Danny mcbride has pretty hands. Soft and clean. Like he’s never worked a hard day in his life.
and doing tattoos is hard work lol.
nice...went to NCSA with ol McBride and whats his face with blonde hair (Jody) ...But Danny, Jody and crew were invited to a party while in Cali and snuck a dvd copy of Fist Foot Way into Adam McCay's bag. And ya know McCay was Ferrell's agent / buddy soo the rest is history.
Brilliant movie
That's cardboard there hitting😂😂😂😂
I didn't know this interview existed. This is gold! 😂
Oh, and p.s. I love the fact tgat Julio uograded to black belt hahahaha
Many TKD practitioners have, unfortunately, suffered the same fate. However, a quick trip to the Home Depot, and a little practice is all one needs to dust yourself off and try untill you succeed. 👍
I do believe we just caught Conan almost losing it😂
RIP to the young actor who Henry in The Foot Fist Way
how many slices have you had julio?
I haven't laughed this hard for a while! 😁
I hope they make a sequel to this movie.
so this aired before the film, wow, were he and will even friends in 2008? pre-eastbound
Fake boards @4:27 you can see the lining in the middle of the planks.
He just set back NC and tyquanfo back 10 years
That’s a lot of the cast of the movie up there.
Rashida Jones ♥️
That song 😂
2:47 😅😂
He looks like that baseball player
That's FANTASTIC
The music is hilarious
He is so funny
I think that website is down or something
Awesome movie
I couldn't tell if Will was seething or dying from trying to look like he was mad. And then I just didn't care. This was as funny as judy-chop dude.
Thank you so much CZcams algorithm!
Something tells me that Will Ferrell might be in on the joke 😂
I mean, he did produce the film, The Foot Fist Way.
Ive seen alot of serious karate demos that looked just like that!!!!!
That's some Andy Kaufman stuff
Wonder if this is the first time Will and Danny met
Was this before East bound and down days? I can feel it in my plumbs
the met during the sundance premiere of the foot fist way
Ooooookayyy, Rightttttt.....
I could immediately tell who his buddy Mike from Daytona was 😂😂
I’m so confused? How did Will know what camera to look at? And didn’t this guy used to play baseball?
Kenny fucking powers man
He almost BROKE Will!!! He’s a WINNER!!!!!
Will produced that movie
FFW needs a higher-budget sequel!! Will Ferrell can be Fred's past rival running a Cobra Kai-like tkd school
Dude, there's Julio!
Loved this one. I remember it.
Now we know where will farrell got most of his ideas 😂😂
Saw this on Funny or Die posted by Fred Simmons years ago.
He clearly is still Kenny powers but in a karate robe. Hard to break that character.
Chris Farley Jim Carrey Danny McBride! My top three all time. All bring wildly different comedy styles and all hilarious. Put them in any order top three!!!
