Conan Shares His Favorite Toy From Childhood | Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan

what about the manufacture and sale of a. a really good high quality Conan action. figure do you think there's a market for. that oh like that Deadpool when you just. held up yeah but also something that has. like movable wrists and like Kung Fu. Grip. well I mean Ben um you're the you're the. expert here but I'm talking about a. Conan O'Brien action figure it sits it. talks uh itself deprecates. um what what. do not expose to Sun for more than 30.

seconds what would is there a market for. something like that and I want you to be. honest. I would buy it. well there's one he doesn't even want to. break the story you got one that's all. that's all you need you want you got to. start somewhere okay well feel free do. you remember the GI Joe figure Zartan. and how if you put it in the sun its. skin color would change they should do. that with Conan where you put it in the. sun and it just goes red No it should. start to smolder and then explode and. turn into slime.

[Laughter]. um wow hold on let me let me write these. ideas down yeah well I think you're not. giving this idea uh you know much. credit I think if you and I had. spitballed a little more you might have. seen that there is a market for such a. doll you know and um I shouldn't call it. doll it's an action figure really and. then it could come with all kinds of. cool stuff comes with its own podcast. studio. um comes.

comes with its own cholesterol measuring. yeah that that's an action figure more. than a little Lipitor that he's holding. it sits it talks it worries it's an. inaction figure yeah Ben do you have a. question for Conan and all. I do my question for you Conan is if you. were stranded on an island but you could. pick a toy or take a toy with you try to. keep it clean it's a children's toy to. keep to keep you to keep you busy while. you're just playing on this island there.

goes my vibrating butt plug. you know if you did choose slime it's a. two for one just yeah. I've tried it and I do not recommend it. oh God going in is fine getting out is. not fun what did you okay well anyway. Sony you can just drop out if you can't. handle it you can drop out what if I. draw I would have well we're just. talking about inserting slime in our. bodies that's not what I was talking. about I'm not using it as lube I think. you started putting it in your body.

wasn't that what you were talking I. meant it was I'm talking about something. I did four years ago. and it's still there no one was with you. on the sticking it in your body thing. every time I have a colonoscopy they. freak out I'm like what is going on up. here. it's so binding so binding and. brilliantly colored it's got. Sparkles anyway uh hey I'm gonna tell. you exactly what toy I would bring with. me I don't even know the name of this. toy but this is a true story.

um when I was about 11 or 12. somewhere. around there uh my I came down Christmas. morning and Santa had left me this big. box and what it was was a styrofoam. aircraft carrier that must have been I. want to say about four and a half feet. long and it had a little catapult on it. and what you did is you put a little. plastic jet on it. and it had a wire system like a nylon. wire that ran up to that you could you.

could attach to some part of a room that. was far away from you and it would shoot. it and this thing would ride up on the. wire and then it would turn around and. it would come back down and then you. would using a stick. you would guide it in for a tail hook. landing and I swear to God yes let me. see if that's it. is that it. oh man this thing was fun. I don't know I think it was flying Aces.

mine was a jet fighter and I think it. was I think you did find it Gorly I. think this is it and maybe they're. variations yes I think they're different. but you would shoot it up uh you would. shoot it it would go up to the top of. the wire and then it had this little. simple mechanism that turned it around. and it would come back in for a landing. and you would use the stick and you. would need to guide it in to catch the. tail hook oh wow and it was really fun. and I remembered I used it so much I.

played with it so much that it all. started to fall apart and I just kept. taping it up to keep it going but it was. an incredibly fun toy and uh be on the. lookout for that I'd love to set up one. here in the podcast studio. uh here at our little Command Center. Adam and I were just texting about that. yeah it'd be fun to do that do look into. this toy Ben it was really fun very low. Tech about as low Tech as a toy could.

get but as you probably know sometimes. that's the joy this is before they were. putting computer chips into toys and it. was just very uh Lo-Fi but really fun.
