Triumph Attends Trump’s Inauguration

Conan was smart enough to send Triumph the Insult Comic dog to Trump's Inauguration last week. It's probably a bit too easy for Triumph but what else are you going to do? Sit there and do nothing? You've gotta get those youtube hits son.

It's not exactly as classic as the time Triumph roasted those kids camped outside to watch Star Wars but it's still pretty good. I give it like 3 out of 4 alternative truths.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog goes to College

It's still weird to me that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog isn't 100% associated with Conan. Did NBC win him in the divorce? Anyway here he is skewering a bunch of college kids who are WAY too politically correct.

I'm not one of those people that decries political correctness as if it were an attack my very soul but I do think it can go overboard sometimes. For instance, over the last few years I've tried to break the habit of calling things I don't like gay or retarded. I totally get how language like that is hurtful and what's the point really? I can use plenty of other words. Where I draw the line is when you're asked to refrain from language that accurately describes someone or something.

Does that make any sense? It feels like some of these language crusaders have become so afraid of possible conflict that they're almost making the situation worse. Conflict can be a good thing, often times conflict is the only way a solid resolution can be found. Don't ban the word poor, ban the people that think someone isn't worth their time because they're poor.

Whatever, I'm just hear for the poop jokes.

Triumph The Insult Comic Dog Vs. Canada’s Ed The Sock, And The Problem Of Parallel Creation. Good article by Vince about Ed the Sock and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. I'm one of like 20 non-canadiens who is actually familiar with Ed the Sock and honestly the similarities between him and Triumph had never occurred to me. It's obvious the the guy behind Ed the Sock holds a grudge but I have a feeling it's only because Robert Smigel out puppeted him.

Conan O'Brien: Video Game Salesman. Conan has been doing these "Clueless Gamer" segments for a while now. It's funny I've never thought that much about them but they're clearly commercials aren't they? This last week they went all out with the launch of Fallout 4 and for the first time ever they included a disclaimer that said consideration furnished by Bethesda. I guess this is the ethics in gaming that GamerGate has been clamoring for?

I've never had a big problem when TV shows highlight their sponsors like this but I always appreciate the disclaimer. It's like when you're watching Hawaii 5-0 and every piece of tech they use is from Microsoft or every car is from Chevy. Just come clean with the fact that GM pays you to highlight their crappy compact sedans and lets get on with shooting some bad guys.

Time Warner Cable hopes to lure cord-cutters with a Roku 3 and cheap streaming. Hey, this doesn't sound so bad. If I was off living on my own I'd totally buy a cable plan like this. As it is I'm one of those people that sticks with cable (or in my case Dish Network) out of convenience. I watch almost everything off the DVR because of the kids. I'd probably be ok if I was just stuck with Hulu and Netflix but the sports man.. the sports. I live far enough away from the big city that I can't get local channels over the air and I'm not about to miss out on Seahawks and Sounders games.

2015: 42% of Women and 37% of Men Own a Video Game Console. Wow, knock me down with a feather. It doesn't surprise me in the least that women game just as much as men do but I am shocked that on average they're more likely to own a console.
