When they go into the "Are we really here?" stuff they are parodying stuff Jim Carrey said on the Norm Podcast. Jim Carrey was being sincere though; a sincere egotistical douche.
Right?! Like they could never do this on fallon because he would be too thirsty to join in. Jimmy Fallon is like that annoying little cousin that you're forced to hang out with. Hes too much.
Theyre not being themselves? Wtf? They are making fun of celebrities who get famous for a specific talent and then use their fame to start some other hobby that they’re nowhere near as good at. It’s a skit.

Oh.. Well, to be fair the first thing I thought of when I watched the first(and only good one) PotC-movie was that he looked more like a drag queen than an actual pirate, lmao!
"You decorated his house?" "Yeah, sort of a gothic erotica" Lmao, I love Nick. Him & Mulaney make such a great duo it's quite ridiculous how well they perform together, totally in sync with eachother. Lol too good.
They're so committed to the characters. And I love Kroll's voice. They don't miss one trick with these kind of characters. I hope we see them again. And god, so many quotable quotes....."steampunk meets pirate."
I love that every talk show they do together, they always have a weird bit they do. Also I have a little crush on both nick and john, and this emo hipster thing is kinda doing it for me even more and I don't know why.
I know it's supposed to be douchey, but does anyone else think John looks really good in eyeliner? And those skinny jeans and white shirt mmh. And the crossed legs and arms are so perfectly pretentious lol.
"Are we just atoms twirling around this tectonic shift?" "That means nothing what you say." "Thank you" - says the Nihilist, who believes actions speak louder than words.
the minute conan pulled the hat over his eyes I was transported to 1956 where there was a spin-off of some Wild Wild West show playing as i twisted the head off my GI Joe action figure from Mattel and gave it to my dog Dixie to chew
The correct answer is that it's all of those people and at the same time none of them specifically. What they're essentially parodying is the type of celebrity who hit megastardom in the '80s or '90s, then fell off the map in the ensuing decade as a result of drugs or alcohol or both. They let the fame and fortune go to their head, and since they weren't really that intelligent to begin with, they /really/ lost touch with the human experience. Then, through a mixture of pseudo-yoga, mindfulness, and spirituality, they began to believe that they had gotten it back, even though everyone else around them knows that's totally untrue. What you get is exactly what Mulaney and Kroll are so masterfully portraying: a couple of spacey, funnily-dressed, botox-injected washed-up stars spewing nonsense about the meaning of life, how blessed they are, and what their latest book is called.
I wish more artists entertained us in this way when they appear on talk shows. Much credit to them and to Conan for airing them on his show. Brilliant, guys. Can’t wait for the next appearance (even if it’s 60... or like what.. 70 Years from now. Rock on).
*So freakin funny! Saw live last nite & had to see again!* Though I spent most the time explaining to my parents that these guys were comedians playing characters lololol 🤣
This is how I imagine Adam Levine, Justin Bieber, Bono, Celine Dion, Matthew McConaughey, Owen Wilson and Paul Ryan actually act when they're not on camera.
Justin Bieber tends to act more like a stereotypical black kid from the 80s... but yes, there's definitely a mix of this entire act in there, too😂 Celine Dion is multilingual and super humble, but Matthew McConaughey embodies a spirit of perfect douchery wherever he goes🤣💀 Adam Levine... oof, never really grew out of the rebellious thick-skulled teenage boy phase, did he?🥲 There's a South Park episode that portrays Bono's personality PERFECTLY. You should see it! It's literally called "More Crap."
I pray just like Oh Hello skewered older Upper West Siders that these two characters (LA hipster/aging rock star/new age-y nonsense) end up on broadway too.
Honestly whoever John winked and pointed at must feel even more special than if Jared Leto did it haha. It's a special kind of flirty acknowledgement. It's from a proud Asian American Woman in hiding
Girlfriend, I hope you're not still hiding! It took 14 years for me to embrace being a biracial African-American girl having to grow up in Alaska--likely one of the whitest of this country's 50 states! I grew up hating my skin, lips, curly hair, body, and pretty much everything else I had. Now I'm 16, have accepted my own body, embraced my culture, and I don't understand why I ever strove to blend in with my classmates. What's your story, stranger?
It’s like they met Johnny Depp and said “Hey, let’s do that”
nick really sounds like him
Or Rolling stones

Ryan Ross and Brendon Urie look great in this Pretty. Odd. era interview
madalynn OMG
I am DECEASED thank you for this
This is too accurate I can't
GOD THAT'S PRETTY. ODD. OF YOU TO SAY
that’s exactly what i thought
Listen, i know this is a joke. But John Mulaney 100% looks like the lead singer of a Indie band. I dig it and I hate myself for it
And Nick looks like the bassist
an indie band.
He's like Brandon Flowers ahaha
Listen I know.
And I am HERE for it. Mmmmm.
Ashley Moon 😂🤪😀
These rings symbolise... uh... metal
The Jonas Brothers have really changed since their brother died.
Andrew Frederick underated comment!
Oh my God 😂😂😂
omg THIS
their brother died?! which one?
^^^^^^
See already forgotten
Why I Love Conan. He’s the only host to let this happen. Let comedians be themselves.
Right?! Like they could never do this on fallon because he would be too thirsty to join in. Jimmy Fallon is like that annoying little cousin that you're forced to hang out with. Hes too much.
Vi gwen also, Conan not joining in, and acting annoyed(even though he isn’t) adds a lot much to the comedy.
Theyre not being themselves? Wtf? They are making fun of celebrities who get famous for a specific talent and then use their fame to start some other hobby that they’re nowhere near as good at. It’s a skit.
Young Yak exactly it’s just a joke lmao, you sound hurt
Nouhaila B haha I ain’t hurt we chilling baby
Conan makes that fedora look like an old farmer's hat. It went from chic to civil war relic.
LOL
He looks like he belongs in the alps wearing lederhosen and yodeling
This happens with a lot of things that conan makes contact with
Rare insults lmao
Conan's huge head. Floppy hat no longer.
John is giving me serous Klaus vibes from the Umbrella Academy
I SEE IT
FACTS
im not the only one??
Well he had to kill princess diane some way.
HAKGHSKSGAJSG
Johnny depp and jared leto basically
Johhny Depp literally invented this look and Jared Leto is just a punk.
Russell Brand
John is hotter than both
I got a mellowed-out Russel Brand vibe as well
I definitely caught that. Their also taking jabs at Jim Carrey as well
John could unironically rock this look tho
They look like they're going to headline at Coachella
njimenez they also look like they would be frenemies with stefon
They also look like Panic! at The Disco during Pretty. Odd.
they look like Johnny Depp
Stefon was a character created by John Mulaney, so it makes sense
In 2008
john is so uptight he tried to put his feet in the couch and changed his mind almost at the same time
I'm sorry 😞 but you have a lot to say to the person that I know I can do with it for you and i am high

No
Imagine if you had never heard of them before and this was your first experience.
I had never heard of them before, I was so confused yet laughing so much
John with eyeliner is making me feel a certain way.
Like you suddenly like homosexual men?
cohletrain Like my teenage Jack Sparrow fetish is resurfacing.
Oh.. Well, to be fair the first thing I thought of when I watched the first(and only good one) PotC-movie was that he looked more like a drag queen than an actual pirate, lmao!
It’s making me moist
Megan Ripley same
i was waiting for john mulaney to scream “Diet Coke” in a british accent and have one appear
That would have been the perfect punchline the skit is missing
Not funny!!!
I want a scarf made from real material now
M.L. Soll and rings that symbolize metal
They make those now? Gotta get me one toute suite!
I want a hat made out of baby Yoda skin.

@@shanena5322 how dare you
“He was out of town and unaware” 🤣
Nick Kroll is killing it.
I love the premise of this bit. And I love that Nick Kroll is laughing at everything John Mulaney says.
I hate how attractive John looks
That tall child's arms keep growing.
Tevin Green *tired* tall child
gee sus get some rest tall child!
@@isaacs8783 You can't keep burning the candle on both ends!
What tall child? All I can see is a proud Asian woman, a tiger mom
He got feminine hips!
“This is just a collection of skin - it’s a little chubby here.”
Same John, same.
This would be John Mulaney if God had switched the flip
Exactly
um...flipped the switch...? idk are both right? lol
If Jim Carrey, Jared Leto, Jhonny Depp and Jeff Goldblum were condensed into two people
Idk, i feel like Jeff is more of a spacey jazz guy.
The J squads
"And these are made from real materials" . LOL Mulaney and Kroll - national treasures.
John mulaney looks like the lead singer of F.U.N. And also looks like Grant Gustin
I see it!!!!!
Rozey V2 omg Nate Reuse!! He does look like him omg
I can’t unsee it😂
Why did you have to mention the Grant Gustin thing... I'll never be able to unsee it
I was thinking that too🤭
Nick Kroll has finished his transformation into "The Douche"
BOB money Yo, just douchin it up here in, San Jo.
Crazy Ira, clean your room!
That’s where I know him from
You won the comment award 🥇 lol!
FighterCK ME SO HORNYYYY
"You decorated his house?"
"Yeah, sort of a gothic erotica"
Lmao, I love Nick. Him & Mulaney make such a great duo it's quite ridiculous how well they perform together, totally in sync with eachother. Lol too good.
The scarves and shirts and ripped jeans omg
😂💀💀💀
I saw a still from this and thought that's how he actually dressed because I've never seen him out of a suit 🤣
No.
It's real materials
John's arms in that constant casual crossed position tho.
They're so committed to the characters. And I love Kroll's voice. They don't miss one trick with these kind of characters. I hope we see them again. And god, so many quotable quotes....."steampunk meets pirate."
john mulaney in eyeliner is doing things for me
I love that every talk show they do together, they always have a weird bit they do. Also I have a little crush on both nick and john, and this emo hipster thing is kinda doing it for me even more and I don't know why.
They're dressing like that as a joke but honestly they both look better lol.
I think especially john.
msinarath OMG...me too 😍
The eyeliner.
Right? I know its a bit but seriously, never stop.
Besides this being hilarious, John Mulaney looks pretty as hell
*Kroll's channeling Johnny Depp who's channeling Keith Richards as Jack Sparrow* 🤯
or any journalist from VICE
I know it's supposed to be douchey, but does anyone else think John looks really good in eyeliner? And those skinny jeans and white shirt mmh. And the crossed legs and arms are so perfectly pretentious lol.
john in eyeliner is making we WEAK
Some may think that is a typo, but it's true: John in eyeliner is making all of us weak
Me as well. Gah damnnnn. 😍
same
Dude samee
Yaaaasssss
Their Johnny Depp cosplay is spot on.
Anybody else think John looks just like the flash
NbAlIvEr100 flash from earth 4 maybe??
Like a less attractive Grant Gustin
Yes!! I’ve always thought that haha
I thought of the exact opposite..John is more attractive
boricuaboss3 YES it was bugging me kept thinking he looked so familiar but couldn't figure out who for the life of me
you can tell they didn't wanna commit ,then couldn't stop after a while 😂
"Are we just atoms twirling around this tectonic shift?"

Im getting Johnny Depp from Nick lol
Yes!
Jim Carey as well.
Yay 1000th like
I'm so humbled and grateful to have seen this 😂💕👍
Nick Kroll’s description of mules as shoes that look like “if a pilgrim had sex with a genie” is 100% accurate.
I just love going back to this interview. If they did these characters every once in a while I wouldn't be mad.
This is, GOLD !
Kinda dragged until towards the end honestly
No comma between subject and predicate.
King Loui it makes me so happy
Gold, Jerry Gold !
I thought it was....SPARTA
These are like the guy Stefon always hang out with and tells Seth not to worry about.
Is it bad I think Mulaney looks hot like this?
no. he does
That guy liner its making me feel things
Yes that's bad
@@Jo-chilin you and me too
no, same
How is no one talking about the fact that John looks insanely good in eyeliner
They quickly became slow talking Russell Brands
Random nonsensical tangents
Ex-addicts
Constantly humble brags and acts as if they are enlightened above average people
Yup, checks out
Russell Brand annoys me so much
Nah...more slow Russell Brand and Noel Fielding
My EXACT thoughts lmao
"Stop pointing at people." Conan trying to control the children 😂
John mulaney and nick kroll in eyeliner is my new aesthetic
the minute conan pulled the hat over his eyes I was transported to 1956 where there was a spin-off of some Wild Wild West show playing as i twisted the head off my GI Joe action figure from Mattel and gave it to my dog Dixie to chew
Is Mulaney not looking towards the correct camera on purpose?
The way Nick Kroll was sitting at the beginning already had me cracking up
That was a wild John Mayer impersonation.
David Morland turns out he's moving on and getting over
Me: I'm definitely straight
*sees john mulaney with eyeliner*
*sweats nervously*
Big mouth is so genius. It's so perfect. I wish it was around when I was a kid.
Also, THIS is genius.
Allyson Wonderland you like edm AND the show Big Mouth? we should be friends. Internet friends!! Ha
Tori S woot internet friends!
imagine this being the first interview of John and Nick you've ever seen
I think they were going for a Mick Jagger and Keith Richards vibe
This is just the typical hipster look.
No. No, it is not.
Christian Rivera Fusion of Criss Angel, Depp, and Timberlake.. But yeah, Keef Richards is the godfather of the look and vibe.

they were making fun of Jared Leto lmao. he acts just like this in interviews. they referenced him twice in the other video from this conan interview
I wish more artists entertained us in this way when they appear on talk shows. Much credit to them and to Conan for airing them on his show. Brilliant, guys. Can’t wait for the next appearance (even if it’s 60... or like what.. 70 Years from now. Rock on).
They look like Ian Sommerholder
I absolutely love the risk they took here - hilarious. Keep working together!
John Mulaney and Grant Gustin look scarily similar
Kelsey LM he should play future flash.
Miguel Rivera or an older him on another earth
I looked up "6 years ago we murdered a man in nebraska" and this came up and honestly
I'm not dissapointed.
That's also such a good video that made me laugh so much
Nick Kroll's eyeliner has me DYINGGGGG lmfao
They both did so well embodying their characters. Funny stuff. Also lunesta reference is hilarious.
*So freakin funny! Saw live last nite & had to see again!*
Though I spent most the time explaining to my parents that these guys were comedians playing characters lololol 🤣
Jonny DIY what did they cut out at 2:18?
I LOVE the little giggle Nick gives at the “no parking” comment 😂 ugh I love these two!!
This bit is gold but damn the audience sucks
When John starts pointing it cracks me up
Is John Mulaney cosplaying as Nathan Drake?
Clockwork Kubrick i love this comment
Clockwork Kubrick
If Nathan smoked poll maybe.
Robert Parker "poll"
I think he’s going for Mick
Jared Leto
"I'm an addict in recovery based on the writings of Jose Canseco."
Wait, what?
This is how I imagine Adam Levine, Justin Bieber, Bono, Celine Dion, Matthew McConaughey, Owen Wilson and Paul Ryan actually act when they're not on camera.
check out hiking with kevin nealon -owen wilson. nice down to earth guy
Justin Bieber tends to act more like a stereotypical black kid from the 80s... but yes, there's definitely a mix of this entire act in there, too😂
Celine Dion is multilingual and super humble, but Matthew McConaughey embodies a spirit of perfect douchery wherever he goes🤣💀
Adam Levine... oof, never really grew out of the rebellious thick-skulled teenage boy phase, did he?🥲
There's a South Park episode that portrays Bono's personality PERFECTLY.
You should see it! It's literally called "More Crap."
I love when they make each other break character and start giggling...
They sound like how Jim Carrey is now
Oh my God.....it's true!
I think that’s what they were poking fun at, especially the we are not here part
Just the thumbnail and title of this video is comedy gold
I pray just like Oh Hello skewered older Upper West Siders that these two characters (LA hipster/aging rock star/new age-y nonsense) end up on broadway too.
Couldn't agree more, this needs to be another running character bit
Ok but why does John Mulaney look so good??
Parida Snapesnapesnape Right? Is he wearing guy liner? Hawt
Oh and his hair isn’t combed over like a politician’s, that helps
Yea, the eyeliner makes those blue eyes pop. Plus since he's so tall and thin - those kind of clothes look good on him!
It’s funny, John looks so much better in that getup but Nick Kroll still looks... like Nick Kroll.
I bet his wife was like, “JOHN, KEEP THE GUYLINER ON TONIGHT”
Still enjoying this after watching multiple times; wish there's a way for Conan to come back to late night!
The went Russel Brand. Never go full Russel Brand.
Nick Kroll should’ve went more out there with his top/shirt and we could’ve had a perfect Russel Brand and Noel Fielding clone!
“These rings they symbolize uh... metal”
I miss the Kroll Show so much!
i've never seen this interview before! it's so great to see ryan ross and brendon urie together after such a long time
john in eyeliner was something i didnt know i needed
The way John played off that laugh at 2:18 was amazing
"But are you though, and *can* you?" 😂😭
Parida Snapesnapesnape
I read this at the same time lol
kroll has the character down a bit more than mulaney
I have a feeling John pulled a Stefon on Nick. I think he improvised half of what he said, Nick was cracking like Bill Hader playing Stefon on SNL.
I will watch literally anything with these two in it
One of the best interviews I have ever seen...
ermagod I want a new show with these characters
I didn't even think of that but now that I have, I feel like I need it. Hell, I'd take the occasional skit on RUclips if that's what needed to happen
So they’re doing jagger impressions minus the accent
Love seeing nick break character
this is truly one of my favorite videos on the whole internet
Gonna tell my kids these were the property brothers
Honestly whoever John winked and pointed at must feel even more special than if Jared Leto did it haha. It's a special kind of flirty acknowledgement. It's from a proud Asian American Woman in hiding
