Late Night with Conan O'Brien - The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (1993)

Awesome little dog

This guy is an absolute genius. A cigar smoking Rottweiler with a wit so quick and acerbic it could strip paint from walls. This is funny, funny stuff and oh so refreshing in this PC world.
The piece on the Star Wars nerds is so gut bustingly funny as is the interview with Bon Jovi. Look out for Triumph's response to Jon Bon Jovi playing a vampire - it's pure brilliance. November 12, 2008

Triumph poops on the world's fools the way we all wish we could.

Yes, I know that Triumph (aka Robert Smigel) does not appeal to all people's tastes, but I (mostly) love his stuff.
The REAL reason for this purchase was the Star Wars movie premiere piece, which I had seen a few years ago.
Admittedly, some of the humor borders on the level of Beavis & Butt-Head, but it is simply wonderful seeing people we all wish we could make fun of getting it from a hilariously primitive rubber Rottweiller puppet.
To the credit of the Star Wars nerds, they did not mind laughing along, even though the jokes were aimed at them.
At least they had a modicum of coolness.
Also, of the two Westminster dog show pieces, I actually found the second one funnier.
I only wish _I_ could do that...and get away with it!
Oh, as always, Amazon's shipping was reasonable and rapid. September 8, 2008

Woof! Woof!

Conan O'Brien popularized the insult comic dog puppet, Triumph. The dog is tacky, raunchy, crude, at times hilarious, in bad taste, and in your face. When he visits the Westminster Kennel Dog Show the owners are often shocked, annoyed, and genuinely teed off by his profane comments. A lot of his humor falls flat because he's so gross, pushy, and aggressive. At the MTV video music awards show he gets in a tussle with Eminem and ends up at a press conference wearing a neck brace.
Either you enjoy his raunchy humor, or he turns you off. Scatological, obnoxious, noxious episodes include his visit to Quebec to do a number on French Canadian boorishness, his gig at the Bon Jovi concert, his attack on the costumed dorks and nerds outside a Star Wars movie premiere, and his appearance on Hollywood Squares where he jokes about flatulence. He'll do anything for a dirty laugh line. Often people don't know whether to laugh at him or hit him; it's often nervous laughter from hapless victims. This is an acquired taste. Some people like liver and onions; some people abhor it. Be ready for vulgarity, lewdness and tastelessness.

Um

I love seeing average people being schooled by a rubber dog. I wish Triumph would interview me, I'd use him as a condom! February 29, 2008

Triumph the Comic Dog

Very amusing entertainment. Stretches the boundaries of good taste but the end result is worth it. Quick witted dog. January 7, 2008
