A very funny visit to Comic-Con by Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog on a recent Conan O'Brien episode. It''s always a very special thing to suffer Triumph's slings and arrows. Whoever writes his stuff is very good. Quote #1: "It's truly a golden era for these unbathed, overweight and friendless trend setters....perhaps one day they will conquer basic hygiene!" Quote #2: "I'm talking to the king of internet predators....he has not one but two eight year old boys hidden in there!"

I remember this skit being funny when he did it ten years ago visiting the Star Wars lines in NY. I guess that's a good sign for Conan that his job is secure -- he's not required to come up with new ideas anymore.

I was there when they were filming it and its a lot less clever to see them running around with a camera and not saying anything just moving the dog's mouth. Much easier to fill in the blanks after the fact.

A few years back, Strong Bad and the Homestar Runner gang took some funny shots at the similarly socially-maladept DragonCon demographic. Be sure to click on the period at the end of "endeth" when the cartoon finishes.

The Triumph bit with the nerds waiting in line for Attack of the Clones is classic. Triumph at the Tony Awards las year was pretty good too, especially when he called it a "cavalcade of nobodies."

Love the star wars bit years ago. Turned this off halfway through. Not really funny.

Truimph (and Robert Smigel) are 10 times funnier tha any comedy writer living right now (that includes any of the guys/girl from The State)

If you can't take 4 minutes of Truimph ripping on nerds, then I have news for you: You are a fucking nerd, and you deserve to die virginal and alone.
