A new addition to the comedy clips lineup: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Take a hand puppet, Don Rickles-style material, and an East European accent, and you've got Triumph. He's been a staple of The Conan O'Brien Show for years.
The Star Wars clip is considered by many to be the funniest Triumph appearance ever. Conan's staff even hired a Vulcan to crash the Star Wars tie-in promo party.
Triumph Visits Quebec literally caused an international incident, as outraged Quebec politicans and the Canadian Culture Minister attacked Triumph and Conan for this bit. Conan was in Toronto to introduce the bit, and the delighted English-speaking Ontario audience reaction upset Quebec politicians.
When local NBC affiliates get in way over their head with promotional tie-ins, you get Triumph Does the Weather for Hawaii. Cute hand puppet, an NBC show tie-in, and wouldn't it be cute to delight Hawaiian viewers to have Triumph do the weather? They had no clue what they were in for.
Also, several new MAD-TV clips.
