Conan O'Brien on Samsung vs. Apple

Tuesday August 7, 2012 11:16 PM PDT by Jordan Golson

On his show tonight, comedian Conan O'Brien poked fun at Samsung's claims that it didn't copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Conan ran a parody video, purportedly made by Samsung, featuring a fictitious Samsung spokesperson emulating British designer Jony Ive and inviting customers to visit a Samsung retail store to visit a Samsung Smart Guy.

Conan is not funny...

Whoa there. Someone's a Leno fan.

At first I thought it was a real Samsung store clerk on that picture, until I saw the video. It would not have surprised me.

That's satire.

THIS is reality:

Incidentally, Conan and I also went to the same elementary school in Brookline, MA.

What a coincidence... I happen to be on the same continent and speak the same language as Conan... :rolleyes:

He just did a vid of what everyone's thinking. How Samsung have a chance of winning this case is beyond me.

More a Stephan Cobert fan. Was never a fan of Leno, Conan, or Letterman really. I thought the last part of that video was funny but I've never really liked all of Conan's antics.

Oh well, to each his own

You like him so much you can't spell his name. :eek:
