Conan Gets A Commercial For Black People From Deon Cole (VIDEO)

During the last few weeks of Conan O'Brien's "Tonight Show," comedian and writer Deon Cole famously labeled Conan an honorary black man due to his mistreatment by NBC. Back with Conan on TBS, Cole once again reminded the newly minted basic cable funnyman to reach out to a more ethnically diverse audience with a commercial for the show that targets African-Americans.

"Everybody's done one," Cole quipped on last night's show. "Colgate, McDonald's, Tide laundry detergent."

Check out the "Conan" commercial aimed at black audiences below.

I don't get why everyone is wearing all white clothing, am I missing something? Can somebody explain that to me? Thanks in advance.

P. Diddy usually has an all-white party in the Hamptons every year. You must wear all-white to the party.

Best part was Andy chillin'. Well that and the everyone doing Conan's dance moves. Simply hilarious. Reminds me of something Dave Chapelle would have had on his show.

I loved it! It reminded me of the old commercial they used to show in the wee hours of the morning where one guy wants to borrow his buddy's Soul Jams album and his buddy says, "Oh, no, my brother, you got to get your own!"

I have always loved Conan. I have been watching him since middle school. I still regret not getting tickets to see him do his show in NYC.

I don't find Conan funny. I don't think my being black has anything to do with it. I just don't find him funny. I'm actually sick of seeing his commercials. We get it, you were screwed. I'd love to get replaced at work if someone would write me a 45 million dollar check.

Conan needs to bring back the white bread with mayo channel. That brings people off all races together.

"YO SON I GOT THAT WHITE BREAD AND MAYO!"

BTW This clip is impossible to find, I've seen it once and never again. Someone PLEASE find this so I don't look crazy.

Conan and Colbert, two of the smartest comics around.

[Edward Standley]

Agree. Either ya get it or ya don't. I consider the people that I'm acquainted with who both "do" and "don't" and it's as clear as a bell "why".

And how many black people will now watch Conan now smh.

That's not the point. They're making fun of commercials that are supposed to appeal to blacks, but they just end up being ridiculous.

Isn't it amazing how some people need the simplest things explained to them?

[Balzac]

I was amused. But there is nothing wrong with the idea of having commercials catered to a particular group. It depends on the commercial.

Conan is GREAT! That is all.

I'm a big, fat, White Guy, but that commercial worked on me too!

It was the Andy Richter moment that pulled you in, lol.

That dance was funny and the deon is very funny and creative.

Are they laughing and pointing because Conan is funny...I think not.
