Triumph The Insult Comic Dog vs Star Wars

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is out today, at least in NYC theaters.¹ To celebrate, I watched the classic clip of Triumph The Insult Comic Dog interviewing people standing in line for Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

You look like some kind of super-nerd. It looks like you were built in a laboratory out of parts from lesser nerds.

It is all sorts of inappropriate, but also one of my favorite comedy bits of all time. (via @fromedome)

Update: One of the people from the video wrote an article about the experience last month.

Another thing that’s lost on some people is that everyone there was in on it. After all, we were nerds camping on a sidewalk to see a Star Wars movie. We were very much aware of who Conan O’Brien was, and what Triumph was all about. Everyone there was a fan and if you watch the video, people are hunched over laughing in the background in basically every shot. We were glad to let him mock us. In fact, we helped.

1. So, did they add these Thursday showings after the initial announcement of tickets going on sale back in October? When I bought my tickets that day, I got them for the first available showing (11am on Fri), or so I remember. Did Disney add these earlier shows at a later point to sucker fans into having to buy tickets twice in order to see it as soon as possible? (I did not do this. But I definitely thought about doing it.) ↩
