After a week void of the Walker bit, Conan brought it back tonight. Oh man. I couldn't breathe during the last one. The camera pans into Walker's butt as he walked away from a woman
If you can, catch the rerun on Comedy Central tomorrow.
That and the punch in the face woman was hysterical (that it was so INCREDIBLY bad!). If you bothered to look, it was pretty obvious in the long shots that it was a stuntman in a curly wig. Didn't match her hair AT ALL.
I loved how JLH was game for it as well. If they had played the plane crash clip it would have been perfect.
Last night's Conan was great. He built an entire sketch around the clips, joking that the lever would not be pulled again, only to have it accidentally pulled throughout the sketch. The last clip they showed, with Walker getting hit by a paddle that came out of nowhere, was absolutely classic.
These clips have been so hilarious, I've actually started to watch the reruns of Walker Texas Ranger on USA. Sometimes the episodes are so bad they're painful, but there's often a lot of great unintentional humor to be found.
Fixed the link, people on a Conan forum I visit were having problems playing it since it's a WMV-AVI hybrid type file, so just changed the ext to AVI for compatibility's sake.
Good stuff! Leave it up to Conan to take a horrible show like Walker and make it funny.
I think it is kinda weird that Chuck Norris ever had his own show. I mean, he had some of THE worst movies of the 80's. "Invasion USA", "Missing in Action", "Delta Force", "Firewalker"...the list goes on and on. One would think that after 2 or 3 stinkers they would tell him to retire...no...instead they give him an equally stinky TV show. I will never understand Hollywood.
Great idea Francois!!! Now that would be priceless I could just imagine Conan facing Chuck Norris and immediately going into his bowing with clasped hands routine, lol!!
