(PG-13: Language) “I’m cracking myself up because no one thinks I’m funny.” As part of their trip to Armenia, Conan and his assistant Sona visited a matchmaker. Conan tries so hard to make the segment work, and it does. It does buddy. We promise!

Brett Jubinville and Tinman Creative Studio have posted the first episode of their animated series which envisions a world in which our greatest scientific minds possess superpowers, and must help save the world from evil. It’s proof that Kickstarter can lead to great things.

(PG-13) Terry Ziegelman’s short film takes us inside the world of a man with a mundane desk job who meets with an untimely end, yet nobody seems to notice. We’re a little concerned about the “Inspired by Actual Events” title at the beginning though.

…also known as cats. The Acro-Cats dropped by The Late Show to perform, but the stars proved that you don’t train cats. They train you to be happy when they give a crap. Unless of course that was the point of the performance all along, in which case that was pure genius.

The boys of Smosh are avid pranksters and YouTube superstars, but Jennifer Lawrence is on a different level on both counts. They thought they snagged an opportunity to prank her with a silly interview, but she and her co-stars came fully prepared.

Conan has an early Holiday gift for us – another episode made entirely of remote segments. This time he went with his assistant Sona to Armenia. Watch him embarrass her with his poorly translated pick up lines and interest in Armenian Viagra.
