Bill Hader's Charles Bronson Impression | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend
I love that old Charles Bronson episode. of uh my name's Charles Bronson and I. feel. Surly about. be God that would be amazing that's in. we're using that as the opening but it. is not Charles Bronson in fact it is me. Bill hater and I feel tired about being. T Brian's friend it's a lot of work. isn't it it is a lot it's a lot of. lifting it's a lot of eye contact you've. moved me in and out of like six. Apartments.
you still have that uh van don't you. yeah it's like hey Bill you still got. the van right can you help me. out well can you get. it God I love I I love a Charles Bronson. impression I really do it's Hank aer's. impression I just I do Hank AER as. Charles Bronson which I can't do but or. who was the guy Tim tomerson remember. that guy the he's really funny he was in. a bunch of movies in the 80s and there's. a he would do Charles Bronson uh he did. a president Charles Bronson and talking.
to a a bag boy at a grocery store MH and. I remember watching that and he it just. started he he just he goes a zit. face I just wish I think people still. laugh CU I remember on The Simpsons we. had Charles Bronson on a couple times. the best once it was uh and Haner would. do the voice but it was a baby I. remember there was there was a little. boy yeah they went to Bronson Missouri. he went to Bronson Missouri and Sen of. Branson and everyone a version of.
Charles Bronson and the little kid says. Hey Ma how about some cookies and uh the. the the Moss the mother says no dice and. and the kid says this isn't over this. ain't over this ain't over and it's the. best it's the hardest they they also. they and the when the critic came to. Springfield and it was like now uh we're. going to go to Death Wish nine and it. was Charles Bronson in a hospital bed he. goes I wish I was.
dead I mean those are you know what's I. love Charles you know what's crazy uh. those movies the Death Wish movies don't. uh I know you're a movie buff so this is. a natural thing to go into but those. Death Wish movies don't really hold up. because in the I I remember they're made. in the 70s and it's all about how. basically it's it's just a they're wild. animals out there and you need to carry. a gun and people are getting killed left. and right and the police can't do.
anything and then I remembered living in. New York in like the late '90s you know. all through the Late Night show which is. 93 to whatever 2009 and and I remember. death wish came on and I was watching it. and someone said to the Charles Bronson. character come on it's really not that. bad out there and he says really have. you tried to walk north of Amsterdam on. 75th and I thought. yeah there are seven places where you. can buy an a. clair yeah and that first movie starts.
out like killing rapists and thieves and. then by the fourth one is just. jaywalkers he's picking off or weirdly. like people from the future like future. bodyguards or like weird Super Mario. Brother type of characters uh me and uh. one of the writers Matt we were watching. we just did it as a treat for ourselves. we watch one of the much later death. wishes and what happens is Charles. Bronson comes by New York to see his his. old friends this old couple and he lands. in the New York of 1988 or whatever you.
know he lands in New York or he arrives. in the Port Authority he's on a bus he. gets off he gets in a cab and it's New. York and he starts driving north to the. northern part of Manhattan cut to this. moonscape they just and and apparently. they shot this part like in in England. but he gets to this moonscape of dirt. roads there's no more Paving and there's. wild gangs that just surround an. apartment building and they all of. course look like Mad Max Beyond. Thunderdome with mohawks from New York.
yeah and the police won't even go there. and you're you're thinking wait a minute. no I just saw you land in the New York. we all know and now it it felt like an. arch conservative ad for what New York. City is yeah I think that's exactly what. it is yeah that's exactly what it vote. for a. Dukakis is gold water still around this. is what's going to happen if you vote. for Dukakis everybody looks right at. camera.
