DVD Reviews of Late Night with Conan O'Brien - The Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
DVD Review: For Myself Upon Which to Deposit Fecal Matter
Summary: 5 Stars
The premise of "Triumph the Comic Insult Dog" is one of those strokes of genius that comes along once every decade or so: A rubber rotweiller sock-puppet (though referred to in this disc as a "Yugoslavian hound," probably because his master is Jewish and doesn't feel too comfortable with the Third Reich connotations of owning a Teutonic terrier) who chomps on an unlit stogy and hurls invective and Don Rickles-style brickbats at easy targets in a Borscht-belt Slavic accent while humping their legs!
What could have been a minor bit of curiosity has become a full-time gig on the Conan O'Brien Show and even a cottage industry all due to the caustic wit and snarling antics of Triumph's creator and master, Robert Smigel. Last week, Triumph was even a guest on "The O'Reilly Factor," although he went really easy on the thin-skinned sandbagger from Levittown. I imagine it was because the pooch was in awe of being in the presence of a fellow insult-hurler par excellence.
Smigel, who created such off-the-wall "TV Funhouse" fare for Saturday Night Live as "Fun With Real Audio," "The Ex-Presidents" and "The Go-Lords," is the rather boychik looking brains behind his canine alter-ego. Smigel's bits work so well because while it would be extremely shocking and bizarre for a curly-haired Jewish nebbish to hump a poodle or to call Barbra Streisand a b*tch, it suddenly becomes uproariously hilarious when seeing a talking dog hand puppet doing same.
This collection's greatest bits are: Triumph's spoofs on lame musicians Jon Bon Jovi and John Tesh (though I must hand it to these two: They both rose quite highly in my estimation for so good-naturedly taking Triumph's dead-on poop on the chin, insult after insult!); Triumph's skewering of Star Wars "Ueber Dorks," those people without lives who camped out for weeks in front of the Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan, just to be the first to see the new "prequel" Attack of the Clones; and, Triumph's rolling over and playing fetch to the Lord/God/King of all insult comics, Don Rickles. "No! Rickles, they put me up to this. I want YOU to poop ON ME!" shouts our pug-nosed protagonist whilst emerging from a toilet bowl. I was doubled-over in laughter at that one.
But, the best one of all is his decimation of the Quebecois, those French-Canadians in Quebec City, where Triumph scored his biggest triumph, when the Conan show was taping in Toronto. Triumph brings renewed vigour to every (true) stereotype about the French and the Quebecois, such as "I don't know that much French. Just everyday sayings like 'I surrender'" and "Hey! This is North America! Learn the language!"
The merde-de-la-merde was when he interviewed a pair of "100 per cent" self-identified separatists, and, hushing them, asked them to identify "what is *that* sound? It's the sound of NOBODY GIVING A S***!!!" Touche!
There are tons of extras on this disc, best of all, Triumph's rap video "I Keed," in which he steamrolls over the current celebrity scene, from Britney Speers, Justin Timberlake and Coldplay to Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy and Jennifer Lopez. But he saves his best rhyme for minimalist composer, Philip Glass:
Philip Glass / Hey, Atonal a** / You're not immune / Write a song with a f***ing tune!
To Triumph and his grand master, Robert Smigel: We thank the comic gods for edifying us with your scatological erudition. You guys are the greatest....FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!

Since his first appearance on "Late Night" in 1997 the raucous raunchy cigar-smoking bow tie-wearing poodle-humping pooch has made dog meat of everything from the esteemed Westminster Dog Show to his celebrity-trashing of Bon Jovi "Hollywood Squares" and the "Video Music Awards" to the infamous romp through Quebec and the legendary Attack of the Nerds at a Star Wars premiere. Throw in an additional 90 minutes of bonus footage including Triumph's very first appearance other in-studio collisions with guests like Jerry Springer and Simon Cowell his "I Keed" music video and never-before-seen outtakes and you have the ultimate anthology..."for me to poop on!"System Requirements: Running Time 61 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 031398159629 Manufacturer No: 15962Bestsellers in DVD
