Conan Blows Up The Worst Car In America (VIDEO)

Conan O'Brien thought Cash for Clunkers was nice, if a little boring. "Couldn't you have a lot more fun with an old clunker than just trading it in for a boring rebate check?" He wondered aloud. So he decided to do something about it.

A month ago O'Brien launched a contest called "Conan, Please Blow Up My Car" in which viewers sent in videos of their clunkers with pleas for them to be obliterated. This week, Conan picked a winner (who received a new Lexus in return) and blew up his old crappy car. Unfortunately, some dolls-who-look-like-celebrities were hurt in the process.

Good thing I didn't send in a picture of my Z.
Did I tell you I smoked the tires once shiftin' from 2nd to 3rd comin' outta a s-curve?

Just wait until the winner gets the tax bill for that new Lexus.

Twenty years ago Letterman dropped watermelons off a roof.
Conan's very late attempt to catch up and top Letterman (wait for it) falls flat.
Thank goodness for Colin Ferguson.

Inane, unfunny, and environmentally unsound. Conan is a total twirp.

"He wondered allowed" ? Is that English? "aloud" perhaps?

Also, another NBC vid that just won't play, with or without AdBlock Plus (deactivating ABP helps sometimes, when a gatekeeper ad demands access to its ad server).

I would have REALLY been impressed if the Clunker guy said, "Hey, lets blow up my new Lexus!"

Is it just me? Or does that video not play at all? NBS streamers suck.

It won't play if you use Firefox browser. You have to use Internet Explorer (the only thing it is good for).

I'm using Firefox with AdBlock Plus. I have to disable ABP (on this page) and reload the page to get the video to play. Yeah, it sucks, but so does IE.

Conan was WAY funnier on Late Night. He needs to get back to doing his style of humor, because he's tried to change it a bit for the new audience, and it just seems flat and even boring.

Yeah, he still seems like he's getting his sea legs with this new endeavor.

[inc3000]

I think he is probably worried his real style is too extreme for this show and doesn't want to take the risk?

The timing for this bit was ill advised. LA has enough smoke in the air right now!

Oh give me a break, you wet blanket. Go panic and stress out about something that is actually worth the effort.

[KJLSanDiego]

Uhm, no one's panicking or stressing here! I don't even live in that city. I just thought it was funny timing is all, relax! I enjoyed the bit just like everyone else, and that guy really needed a new ride!
