Funny Christmas decorations (& other stuff)?
 
I haven't seen any posts comenting on this, but *damn* those Christmas decorations suck. The only question is whether they're deliberately bad so as to give Conan something to make fun of, or if that really is NBC's idea of apropriate Christmas decorations. That single half-dead poinsetta plant is at least damn funny, but that cone-shaped stack of minature disco balls Conan feels compelled to refer to as a "tree", what the hell is that? Besides sending out powerful anti-Christmas vibes of coldness and some abstract souless future world, it's damn distracting: whenever I see a shot of a guest in the chair, my eye is drawn to that bizarre alien artifact in the background and I start wondering "What the hell *is* that thing? What were they thinking?", and I lose track of what the guest is saying. Also, while I'm here: Conan's pompador has been getting way out of hand lately. I'm not even sure you can call it a pompador anymore, as the other night it wasn't just the front, it was all the hair on the right side of his part, all the way back. He's starting to become in danger of hitting those strange white globes that hang down around his desk with his hair. This isn't a complaint, mind you, I kind of like it. And I sort of admire his efforts to somehow make his head as freakish-looking as Jay Leno's. And finally, call me nuts, but I'm guessing that that joke during the Conan Plays Santa bit the other night where the kid asks for a "pointless argument with my girlfriend" is actually some writer's cathartic way of dealing with personal issues. In fact, I don't think it was really a joke at all so much as a revealing glimpse into someone's personal life that no one really asked for. Any suggestion about funny Christmas decorations in it?
 
 
my friend, of whom i've turned into a loyal conan watcher sayes she CAN"T stand it anymore and has actually vowed not to watch the show till the tree is gone!!! I am actually about to do the same, the whole set is such an eye sore.still hate the new set! What is NBC trying to do, drive away watchers by making the show visualy untoribal? What is with thoughs god damn tumars about the desk? Why are they still there? You don't see them on screen that much but dear god! You are SO right! Damn, the decorations are UGLY! I feel like not watching the show until it's taken down. What kind of drugs are the decorators smoking?
