Late Night with Conan O'Brien: The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

This DVD is a gem in my collection. Never before gathered in one spot can a man using a puppet as a venue be so insulting and degrading to all men and women, celebrities or no. It's one of the great pieces of comedy art ever created.

Being a Star Wars fan, I was delighted to see Triumph mocking and jeering at all of the nerds in their little Ewok and Jedi costumes waiting in line to see Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. I particularly laughed at Triumph talking to contestants auditioning for American Idol. He is brutal. Too bad it was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien instead of cable. The network censored too many things in my opinion. Cable TV is where Triumph would really flourish.

I'm not claiming to be a hater or one who enjoys slinging slurs, but living vicariously through a cigar smoking dog puppet with Robert Smigel's hand shoved up its rear-end really means a lot to me. It means I don't have to do it. It's all about the comedy in my opinion. Smigel does a great job with improvisation while his prepared shtick is also good. This DVD caters to a certain demographic; I guess one that I fall into. It may not be for the pure of heart. I'm crude but a goodly kind of crude. Rent or buy it today. Do it! Or you can borrow mine.

It's good for a laugh.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog-Robert Smigel as Triumph. Conan O'Brien, Andy Richter, Moby, Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Heather Locklear, Bon Jovi, Whoopie Goldberg, Kathie Lee Gifford, Gilbert Godfried, Simon Cowell, Christina Aguillera, Bruce Villanch, Puff Daddy and others as themselves.

This is one of the funniest things ever!! The actual feature contains 8 of Triumphs funniest moments including Hollywood Squares, Star Wars premiere, Bon Jovi concert and Westiminister dog shows. The feature is hilarious and amazingly, there is so many special features on this disc and here they are......

Actual Program: 64 minutes. Not Rated but contains non-stop crude and sexual humor, some brief drug use and content(Bon Jovi segment) and some language.

When I was at the 2008 Republican National Convention who did I run into but that esteemed investigative reporter, Triumph?!!! As I came off the floor of the convention, Triumph was mercilessly interrogating Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. This was hilarious to watch. Gov. Pawlenty was a good sport and had a lot of fun with Triumph.

Next, Triumph asked to interview me! Having 4 dogs at home I thought I'd give him a try. Now I had already seen my College Republican Friend Karl Rove and Dr. Kissenger (whom I had met at a dinner a few years back), but the highlight of the evening had to be this interview with Triumph! First he asked if I called Obama "Osama", and I noted I called Obama "Abomniable Obama"--now try saying that one quickly for TV. Next I tried to get one over on our investigator, but he quickly snapped me into my place. Finally he asked me about Sarah Palin (and this is the clip that made it to the Late Show on 9/4/2008)---I said she was "Saint Sarah---the savior of the Party"! Well, it was truly fun to test my wits with this great comedian! My daughter thought that was the coolest thing I did and she sent the clip to all her friends.

So if you ever get the chance, visit with Triumph and test your verbal skills. You'll have a great time!

This is the funniest thing I have seen in many a year, like the early days of "Saturday Night Live"--only better. I have watched it three times already, as has my 17-year-old son, and we are helpless with laughter every time. I don't want to spoil the fun for anyone, so I won't tell you my favorite bits or punchlines, but I loved the Star Wars premiere, Bon Jovi concert, Westminster Dog Show ("That man...Joe...Joe Westminster"), and Hollywood Squares segments. Now that I think about it, it's hard to choose favorites--it's all hilarious! If you had told me that a man with a dog hand puppet would reduce me to helpless laughter, I would have said "You're crazy". But it's true, it's true. Robert Smigel, the man behind Triumph, is a comic genius. This DVD is lewd, rude, crude...and a laugh riot. I am giving it to selected people on my Christmas list. Do yourself a favor and watch it ASAP.

This is the funniest collection of segments from Triumph. I laugh at virtually every one of these. The Hawaii segment and Bon Jovi are so funny and clever. To have all of these segments collected on one DVD is amazing. I can watch this again and again and it just keeps getting funnier.
